Plastic surgeon Mr Amer Hussain urges people to be aware of the life-threatening risks involved.

"This tragic death highlights just how dangerous the serious dangers this procedure can pose.

"Brazilian Butt Lift procedures are considered one of the riskiest cosmetic surgeries, particularly due to the potential for infection or fat embolism — a condition where fat is injected into or near large veins, potentially blocking vital blood flow to the lungs or heart, which can be fatal.

“This surgery involves injecting fat deep into the buttocks, near major blood vessels, making precision and expertise crucial.”

Botched procedures are increasingly making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Mr. Hussain urges anyone considering a cosmetic surgery procedure to thoroughly research their procedure beforehand.

He added: “Choosing the right surgeon and medical provider for any cosmetic procedure isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about your safety and long-term health.

“Your health and safety should always be the top priority, and that means ensuring your surgeon has the right training, credentials, and experience to carry out the procedure in a regulated, medical environment.

“People must seek out qualified, board-certified surgeons who understand the complexities of the anatomy and can perform cosmetic procedures safely.”
