Inside Miami’s deadly plastic surgery industry | Fault Lines Documentary
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 06. 2023
- In this episode of Fault Lines, we look into Florida’s cosmetic surgery industry, which has made national headlines for its high incidence of patient death and disfigurement, especially with regard to the extremely popular Brazilian butt lift (BBL) surgeries.
The Florida Board of Medicine has spent years trying to place guardrails on the industry, particularly with regard to BBL surgeries, but our investigation reveals a pattern of surgeons engaging in unsafe practices and lobbying lawmakers to allow them to continue doing so.

Amazing 😍 work yet again⊂((・▽・))⊃
❤
Thank You.
I'm just praying for 🌍🙈🕯️🕯️🕯️☦️🫀
society is SO superficial nowadays.... I would never have plastic surgery, I am a little overweight too. But thats quite normal when you are over 50, looks are not all that matters! I didnt pick my best friends for their looks, but for their good hearts!
There's no refund for your life you fool!
If these "cheap " doctors did the math, they could hire an Anesthesiologist, charge 3 times more, and only do two a day like a reputable surgeon. (instead of 8 a day lol/WOW-eye opening in regards to a Good plastic surgeon, compared to one in a Mall)
A surgery that nobody needs, but everybody wants. What a time we're living...
Yes, it’s a crazy time we are living in. My sister who has eating disorders since 30 years, is thin like pencil but had a beauty operation done 7 years ago. She had some kind of a ballon inserted into her stomach so she will eat less. But my sister already hardly eats anything since she’s a teenager. I have no idea what doctor gave her that operation. 🤷🏻♀️ My sister actually needs to see a psychologist to help her. Oh wait, she’s a psychologist herself. 🙈
I personally don't like the look. I have a butt and would give anything to get rid of it.
Not everyone there's a lot of us still out here that loves our natural body
@@FaithandNova yes I’m happy with my body...
@@SN-bl6xm wow 😯, you just couldn’t make that up, so many plot twists. Whoever gave your sister that surgery should be struck off.
Hearing that woman talk about going in for her own BBL one week after her friend died as a result of the same surgery because “there’s no refund” gives new meaning to the phrase “your money or your life.” So sad. It could very well have been her money AND her life.
Vanity basically.
She said she’s addicted to the surgery like ppl get addicted to gambling. Makes sense. You don’t care about anything but what you want. And for her it’s the perfect body.
More like the prefect definition of a moron
I bet that’s not the last one she goes for. 😅
Whew, I said what?!” Out loud cause that’s crazy
As a surgeon myself I am appalled by some people’s lack of responsibility and awareness. We are first and foremost obligated to our patients safety and well-being. These surgeons shouldn’t be allowed to be in an OR ever again.
Alex Campbell in Colombia cartagena allows 9 month pregnant 🤰 woman perform surgery on a belgium patient without the knowledge of the patient! Patient had to undergo 3 surgeries to remove the butchered surgery by his 9 month pregnant carolina restrepo!!!!!!!!!!@@@@
Thank you Doctor! So succint and totally correct!
Indeed. Primum non nocere.
$$$$$$$$$
They give real cosmetic surgeons a bad name.
These women didn’t know that these influencers don’t really look like the pictures they post. It’s heavy editing and everything
Exactly! 👍
Forget the refund. I had a bbl booked, paid for, flights booked suitcases packed and I CANCELLED and i took the loss as a blessing because i still had my life. Please think it through Queens and stay safe ❤
A valuable lesson
I'm so glad you decided your life was more valuable, but as much as I watch these horror stories I still in the back of my mind think "I wish I could be beautiful". The way media can mess with your mind is wild
wow! happy for u , sorry u lost money, why did u cancel love??
Why cancel?
I’m glad you followed your heart and your mind first.
“I’m gambling with my body to get the perfect body,” she says with a smile. As if she didn’t see her friend in a casket smh
that was soooooo cringy to watch and like WTF is wrong with you?? its literally insane that your friend dying didnt shake u up, and her laughing about her addiction like its funny was weird. sick
it’s actually sick
Stupid is as Stupid does...
Very sick smh
In my opinion, she sounded nuts when she said it's an addiction.
I am 46, which mesns I grew up with the beauty standards of: The Supermodel area, Kate Moss and the Heroin chic, the so calles Healthy Models like Elle McPherson, Heidi Klum and Giselle. Then came Kadashians. If I would operate my body every time there was a new beauty standard, just imagine! LOVE YOURSELF. Not the Instagram filter.
Same.
I'm 34 and also know such models - and I think they are top, as well as the great starlets like Grace Kelly, Kim Novak, Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Marilyn Monroe, Rita Heyworth yadda yadda
So true. Beauty standards always change.
The real trick is you aren't supposed to operate...you're supposed to fade into the background after 25 (so old! /s) and let some other young naive person into the limelight...
How sad.
Amazing how little these women value their lives! Even after her friend died this woman still went in the next week to have the same unnecessary surgery. So senseless! Families devastated for vanity!
Vanity is what bothers our generation today in the end our flesh will be buried
Very ruthless & sad.
anything for the perfet body except for hitting the gym
.
These women have body image issues that are created and "solved" by an increasingly capitalistic and misogynistic global culture. They're doing the best they can in a predatory environment.
There is so much to unpack here. This woman went to a funeral of her friend and then a week later went in for the same surgery 😮 You hear about the side effects of social media and the damage it causes to children, but its interesting to see the influence it has on ADULTS. Comparison is the thief of joy.
Amen
Until we extend this critique beyond the current tech fads, to our actual societal problems, ain't shit gonna be solved.
So did she survive or die too?
That shocked me, to have the same surgery that just killed your friend - the social pressure must be huge. It breaks my heart what people find important 😢
The last sentence of your post is powerful
I don’t have butt, boobs, not pretty but not ugly. But I have the confidence and self esteem. If nobody likes me, it doesn’t matter. As long as I love myself.
Exactly ❤
Having no butt and boob is definitely more attractive body then those obvious fake and unnatural BBL people try to deny about. Nothing is more attractive and beautiful then the body the God has given her !!!
Yessssss 💯❤
Well done. Be and Live your life the way you want to not the way the others want you to be or live
I love your attitude.
My mom’s surgeon , in Brasil , told her (many years ago )he won’t do bbl or but implants, cause the risk of rejection was too high. So it was always a known fact , that it has a high risk .
Yea our body always pushes out foreign objects.. like body piercing
When I was a teenager I was often told by my relatives that I had an ugly nose and small breast. When I got older I did rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. Now that it’s fixed my mom told me if I were 10 centimeters taller I would look better. I was shocked to hear that. For some people you will never be good enough. I distant myself from my relatives and got a psychologist to fix my trauma and to love myself the way I am.
I would suggest to work with psychologist before doing any procedure to make others happy and to look according to stereotypes. It’s important yo learn to love yourself first and work with your insecurities.
such a good point! better to spend that money on therapy first...
You don't need a new body, you need new relatives!
do it if you feel you need to do it and especially not for others. The therapy option is a great idea
So glad u luv yourself now 💓😍
Call your mom out , then step away for awhile ...she is reflecting dislike of something she feels of herself...As a mom , I dont understand this. But I to have experienced it with my family and That has kept me more and more separated from them. You are beautiful just the way god made you❤
As an American who resides in Germany, I can tell you that America’s emphasis on appearance is at the core of this problem. Fake is the new norm in America and no one seems to value being natural and real. As long as people, women in particular, can look a certain way, they are willing to literally risk it all. Yes, being satisfied with your appearance is important, but I will remind you that anyone who defines himself by looks is going to have a hard time in life because looks are temporary; your character is permanent.
I'm an American, I'm some one & I value in being natural.
Can't wait until this fad fades away.
Italy is the same way. They are becoming image obsessed over there and it’s not too far from Germany.
@@italianlessonsnyc1176 I’ve been there several times and I agree with you. It’s not nearly as bad as America, but it is absolutely getting worse.
@@italianlessonsnyc1176 in italy they are obsessed about SKINNY FIGURE, BBL, Breast implants no one care here just be skinny and u r beautiful, it is toxic too...
My best friend got CATFISHED at a clinic in Miami!! She scheduled a BBL with one surgeon, but the day of the surgery, another surgeon she never met came in. She thankfully said no, she wanted the surgeon she scheduled with because she had great reviews. They tried to pressure her, but she stayed strong. They tried to say she was wrong,but she had messages to prove who she scheduled with. She got her surgery with the surgeon she had picked, and after they wheeled her out and left her outside to wait for her mom to pick her up. Worst almost nonexistent aftercare I have ever heard of.
i have terrible hip dips and still get teased for my smaller backside even in my 20's. I was thinking of getting these types of surgeries. But I think I will stick to working on my self esteem instead...
Look up dr Alex Earle in Miami expensive but 99% safe
You can fix hip dips with side workouts on the hip muscles.
The fact that Dr. Alvarez caused a patients death and then turned around and sued, lobbied against an emergency rule that would make the procedure safer for his patients is disgusting. That shows a lot about his character and ethics as a physician. They have the nerve to call themselves “surgeons for safety”, what a joke. SMH
What was that
every evil lobbying group in the country has a name that sounds generic and soft like that.
Go to the gym, exercise, and eat healthy. The human body is not to be treated like a 4-door sedan going to an auto body shop.
@Obi Amajoyi Sr., MD the gym can't change certain things. Stop with that crap 🙄
@@ObiAmajoyiSrMD I mean sure, but Doctors should also in theory care about patient theory. Not be greedy scum
“Those doctors are a disgrace to medicine” I felt that in my bones when he said that. So sad what happened to these women.
So right!
Me too!
And they all looked good. They looked better before their surgeries than after.
I did too.
.
Omg this breaks my heart. I hate social media!
Just because you are loser don't makes everyone lame girl
💯 Social media, reality TV and celebrity worship are the downfall of humanity.
Exactly.
The crazy thing is nobody EVER looks good after a bbl either lmao
I also think they look weird and not attractive or natural.
It's not just bbls I had a friend who was denied a breast augmentation in Washington DC because of irregular heartbeat beat. She went to Miami and found one of these quacks to perform the surgery. She's been in a vegetable state for the last 15 years. So much pressure on women to look a certain way. We just gotta learn to love ourselves how we are.
Wow, sorry!
So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.
Jeez.... this is sad. I am so sorry this happened to you, to miss your friend now.
That doctor in DC did so well that he/she denied her that surgery due to medical reasons. That is what a real and sencere doctor should always do.
Your friend has to live in a vegetable state for the rest of her life due to her choosing to still have a cosmetic surgery despite a qualified doctor told her not to. It truly is a sad thing that could have been prevented. And the doctor in Miami should get put in jail. He/she should have known better.
There is so much pressure on women... You're right 😢 ... Sometimes, hanging around the wrong people can lead you to this sort of garbage. Sort of like when you hang around bad people who are into drugs. More than likely, they'll pull you down with them if you're not strong enough..
Prayers
When everyone in your friend group got BBL, the conclusion shouldn't be "i should get a bbl" but rather "i should change my friend group". I'm in my twenties and as im growing older, i just want to be mentally and physically healthy nothing else matters in this short life.
Peel pressure is real change your friends
💯💯💯
As long as they're not pressuring you & supporting what you want to do with your body I don't understand why you would change your friend group because they got bbl's lol.
I have a friend who lives in Miami and all she thinks and talks is about physical beauty. I am done with her being so shallow
Yeah peer pressure can be rough
Why are all faces that have had plastic surgery similar?
Uniqueness is precious. Let's not become an ATM machine for plastic surgeons.
Is that smiley from baddies east ?😭😭😭
The way im yelling 😂
Yup
I was waiting on somebody to realize ts 😂😂
YES😭
I thought about it 😂😂😂😂😂 I think so
"A fat pulmonary embolism causes instant death". That's all I need to know to stay away from plastic surgery as I age gracefully.
Florida’s medical board should also be held accountable for allowing these surgery centers to operate without proper oversight.
Florida's current 2023 government is so busy trying to outlaw true American history that they have no time to look out for true American healthcare.
need to also hold the adults who chose to get the procedure be held accountable for their decisions, want to get a good body? exercise or diet are always on the table
The Florida medical board is being paid to look the other way.. It's no medical regulation basically..
Blaming the medical board is as stupid as blaming the dmv for car accidents and drunk drivers.
The people to hold accountable are the ones waiting in line for a purely elective procedure for vanity purposes, treating their bodies like 4-door sedans at the body shop or mechanic trying to get a tune up. Only in america- people do the stupidest things and blame everyone else but themselves.
They are dying due to a risk inherent to the procedure. Doesn’t matter if it’s done at 8am or 2am, that’s not contributing to the morbidity or mortality.
Someone should give DeSantis a BBL. Maybe it will give him a personality.
smiley is a character boyyy
I wish people would realize what is truly important in life
All my friends have had BBL done too. They all try to get me to do it too. The risks scares me and my mom has always told me since I was a little girl to embrace and love what God has given me.
Listen to your mom! Its not worth it and its just a trend body anyways, you properly would not want to look like that in 15 years. You have found this video for a reason.
Don't ever forget that girrrl love you ❤️
But the worst thing is they (almost) all look awful! Why would anyone want to have lumpy, asymmetric, fat ass? It's one thing to have nice, round firm ass you get from exercising, but BBL gets you ugly looking ass most of us want to get rid of in the first place.
Seems to me like you'd better switch your circle of friends...
Don't do it. These women look ridiculous unfortunately they don't see it themselves. What respectable men is walking around with a woman looking like that. Look at the Kardashians they can't find a decent man if they life depended on it except Kourtney. beyonce is married to jailbird 53 year old thug craving beckies as she sang in her song. Nicki is marrier to a convicted P and murderer, Jenifer can't keep a man if her life depended on it the drunk she has know we soon enough walk out running back to his exwife that don't want him anymore and the list continues. The first women I don't know if she bleached her skin or whatever but she looks very ill and more like the walking dead a BBL is the least of her worries. These women only attract thugs. Your friends don't have good intentions let that sink in. I thank god everyday that I am size 6 UK, slim, tiny waste naturally who wants to look like a walking buffalo with a big fat fake behind.
Top notch men don't go for the builder bodies like that unless they pay them to use as human toilets etc.. I have never ever seen a top notch men with women like that. Most women are just normal looking and have natural bodies or naturally pretty with maybe some tweakes. Only losers, bums, cheaters, men that go from woman to woman and black guys are into that. Go to the gym if you have flat behind looks way better. The tattooted latina sorry her behind and her body looks disgusting these women are fooling themselves. They look horrible, Kim K and the Karcrasians look horrible at least they became rich by looking like clowns and now scrambeling for a decent white guy. By the way I am South American and from african decent in Europe. I would not have a BBL if my live depended on it. Yes, I was ridiculed for being slim etc...saying all kinds of nonsense by black men and women. I have the last laugh because I can pull any wealthy affluent man, living a good live. Because let's face it they are doing it to be sexy for men but what kind of men. You better get your mind right.....these women are not the women you want to hang around with. Listen to your mother she knows best. Do you see BBL women with good careers most? Either working a low paid job, stripper in the usa, onlyfans or in the entertainment industry or some sort, trying to be instamodels etc.., fake fitness coaches all the while working as escorts on the down low.
What’s a perfect body? You get something done and you will find something else wrong. It never ends!
you're 100% right, people need to get their mind right before trying to change themselves physically, I met a women that when she took her clothes off she had sooo many surgery scars her body looked good, but mentally she was still the overweight girl that lacked confidence and was self conscious of her appearance and always looking for approval from men that she dressed so inappropriately in public it was embarrassing and I could no longer deal with her insecurities of not being born looking like an instagram model
@@brunofalcon4645 I’m sorry you went threw that, yeah I could imagine how hard it was walking on glass when It comes to her,
People need to thank God if they have a healthy body ... if you are in good health you have everything ... vanity and insecurity are what drives these women to go under the knife
@@freedomofspeech766 everyone has attraction to things, I find a persons eyes show you what kind of soul they have, I don’t care if he has green hair, wore pink underwear and has a missing finger, if your honest and is respectful that’s what matters. If your beautiful it never stays. We get old and wrinkled up.
@@Juliettemnm69 fifteen years ago the house above my house was sold and for the whole summer workers where in it renovating it. The new owner came every day to monitor the work being done and he was the most handsome man I had ever set eyes on and he was super friendly and a real decent guy. He said he'd be moving in at the end of the summer with his wife and son who were spending the summer at a beach house ... so for three months I imagined his wife to be some kind of super model ... The day arrived and when I saw her she was nothing like I had imagined. At first glance she was short, fat and ugly I am ashamed to say that is how I saw her. I was walking out the building with my dog and she held the door open for me with the most beautiful smile and her eyes were lit up as she said in the kindest voice imaginable 'what a beautiful dog. Do you mind if I pat him. In an instance I saw a beautiful woman in front of me. Her inner beauty shone right through and her husband often says he is a lucky man to have found a woman like her. The husband is an intelligent man that went for inner beauty. That day she held the door open for me changed me forever. Never to judge a person by the way they look. When I am out in the garden I only hear kind words coming from the house above me when they are out on their terrace. HE HAS NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR HER AND SHE FOR HIM.
I'm so glad I didn't have my surgery wit Dr.Sampson. I meant I didn't have my surgery at all. I was scared after my consultation and the best decision I ever made! Thank God 🙏
Sooo WHEN DID SMILEY TURN BLACK??
Selfhate is a billion dollar business. Crazy. It’s really disturbing.
That would make a great bumper sticker
Well said
Self-hate driven by not only the media, but those "well meaning" folks on the internet who literally can't stop themselves from commenting on other people's weight. As though they know best, as though they know that person's struggles. Then comes a young person who sees what is written and has it indelibly pressed upon them that "fat" is the worst thing you could be. They they see the commercials... then the cycle begins. Imagine people actually raising one another up instead of cutting one another down - just showing love and acceptance instead of vitriol. You are absolutely correct... it is incredibly disturbing and unbelievably insidious.
So true!
Of course it is - "they" create it.
I was unhappy with my body. I was considered obese and had a flat butt. but at 37 I joined a gym and got a personal trainer. I also got a certification in holistic nutrition. Now at 47 I got an hourglass shape. I built my body over time and I’m proud of it. I still have a lil pouch with stretch marks and with lower body fat my boobs are saggy but who cares!No one’s perfect but to get plastic surgery or a cosmetic procedure is a no for me. There’s so much that can go wrong! I just hate that there’s so much pressure to look a certain way and I’m so glad I am strong willed and won’t even get Botox! I just want to age gracefully and in peace!
Your lifestyle matters. Diet, exercise, sleep, no alcohol, no smoking, family, friends, mental and spiritual health all matter!
Love this. My mom’s a nutritionist as well. I thank her always for her health tips
Love that! I try and count my calories, stay active, wear sunscreen and stay out of the sun, and do small procedures regularly (like botox and chemical peels) so I don’t need to do any crazy drastic plastic surgeries later. It’s definitely easier to prevent than fix when it comes to aesthetics.
This is the key! You can't be perfect, but you can improve your health and life by taking care of your body ❤
It's that simple but 90% of scamerican citizens are narcissistic and lazy
I have in recent years dedicated more of my time and energy to better health, nutrition and exercise. I agree with you 💯
I'm sure I'm not alone in saying wholeheartedly THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THESE EXPERIENCES AND LOOKING OUT FOR OTHERS TO SPARE THEM ANY UNDUE SUFFERING. TRULY YOUR BROTHER'S KEEPER.
17:27 I’m glad Sheila survived, and I’m so glad those two girls have a mother they can still say I love you too everyday!!
You can't have a healthy body without a healthy mind, for long anyway.
Indeed
Cheslea had the perfect body but committed suicidal.
Fantastic text
So true
Well said 👏 💯
You’re in real trouble if a friend of yours DIES from a completely unnecessary cosmetic surgery and just the next week you go in to get the very same surgery for yourself 😢 Like not even death could change your mind??????
It’s an addiction. To stupidity and low self esteem
yo, there's no refund!
They can have it
That shows how priorities are organized for some people 🫡
Impossible to comprehend!
Thank you for posting, amazing video, makes you think about ones own existence.
Being satisfied with what you were born with has become the taboo and enhancing your look has become the norm. "Natural" is no longer glorified... it's terrifying 😢
No way would I go to a medical clinic called Seduction for anything whatsoever. 🙅🏽♀️
Right? Sounds like a strip club 😂😂
I agree. 🚩
Hello!
Thank you 🤔
@@tangie06_33 Bingo.
"Im gambling with my body to get the perfect body..."
MA'AM THERE IS NO SUCH THING!!!!! 😢
She doesn’t care about what this does to her kids nor the money she’s wasting.
@@lymarie1974 True. I find these people to be very selfish. They don't think about how their family etc. will suffer if they die as a result of these type of procedures. Foremost, pray to GOD for His strength to help you reach your weight loss goal naturally. Use the money to buy healthy foods, and obtain a personal trainer to assist you on your weight loss journey.
@@elenorjackson3811 very true ❤️
To please who?
No you're gambling with your life!!!
So a friend died and due to the refunds policy you go ahead with operation? I can't believe that people are this careless & vain that are happy to take the risk even after many deaths
Once you get the attention, then what? You can’t hold a diverse conversation, jealous because of low self-esteem, financially struggling, and there’s always so many more people who are prettier, smarter and more determined. Just love yourself thoroughly and those who are supposed to be in your life will love you too. ❤
I am Brazilian living in Miami since 2018, and one thing I can say: is scaring how this clinics are so popular like hair salons. Also the results are so weird no worth at all. Pay for therapy or a fitness coach with this money, accept yourself and enjoy your health 🎉❤
Thank you!!! The absolutely best statement someone has said!!! We can blame the industries greed, but 💯 need to talk about patients mental health!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve a question about bbl. What happens if they run and lose weight? How does that affect the fat that was placed on the butt? Does it just melt away? Does it melt away evenly or strangely? I’ve noticed that kim kardashian never gets photographed live, and she wears a towel to cover her butt in public
Thank you so much for having the audacity to say it.... A lot of those women needed exercise/a diet plan/weightloss plan more than a BBL.
"Accept yourself and enjoy your health" Very well said ❤
@@moremiaj4786 yes they cannot find the discipline or are decieved by these industry diets that are not healthy at all. That is why they say they could never manage to lose weight. (If money was the problem they would not pay this money on these surgeries)
I’m from South Florida and when ever I see a bbl in public I always take a double look because it does not look normal non of them do.
Right there is a nail tech at the shop i got o. She had a beautiful bbl. But honestly she's Asian and it's strange to see it being so artificial. It's nice even makes u want her docs # but it's just strange
BBLs look weird in person
@@jasmineb9580 Totally agree. I have small breasts DNA ,I wear an extra bra for better fit, and a pair of shorts under my jeans, just for me, to feel more fitting in my clothes. no shame, my whole family, friends and partner knows
They look fake and unnatural.
I knew i am not the only one who thought those bbl look weird. 😂
RIP Nadia😢
I’m haunted by the morgue calling me that you passed
You were so beautiful and whoever convinced you to do that procedure including the doctor and care giver who waited over a month to contact family hope God judges accordingly
Trust me. Your body is fine. There are people who find your body type attractive.
This woman’s father was so eloquent to explain his emotions. He is 100% spot on. Wow.
Yessss. I loved listening to him speak
Lies again? Plastic Surgery Botox Suntik
Saddest part of this is her grandpa is a doctor himself and he fully aware about the risks and yet he could do nothing to save her because she didn't tell him her intention... Must have been painful to that grandpa...
You can’t save adults from themselves. She was going to get the surgery regardless to what anyone said. The fact that she had a daughter wasn’t enough for her not to get the surgery, so what was her grandpa going to do?
In my neighborhood, there lives a couple who put off a honeymoon in order to raise their two children. The children have finished hs, so this couple decided to take their long awaited honeymoon, 20 years later.
While they were in Hawaii, they received an emergency call to return home. Their 8 month pregnant daughter was involved in a road rage car accident, killing her fiancé, brother herself and her baby. The accident was her fault. The other driver was seriously injured.
The moral?.?…while the cat’s away, the mice will play (a dangerous game).
The couple lost their whole family for the rest of their lives.😢
@@so.many.obstacles she had three kids who are now motherless. She was selfish.
She wouldn’t had listened to him anyway
@@lindabooker3512my god, these poor parents. I’d be devastated- after a life of hardship and of putting yourself on the back burner for your kids and now you can finally do something for yourself only to lose it all. May they find happiness again
Great documentary, a real eye opener. I never knew about bbl surgeries until. A retired principal balerina, I was an artist and athletic. Unscrupulous Dr.s & surgeons are putting your very life on the line. Thank you for this informative video. In 🇨🇦 🍁 Canada we have very strict regulations imposed on surgeons for all surgeries, especiall plastic surgeries.
I wish I could give these women the biggest hugs ❤️
The gentleman who appeared early in the video is the grandfather of Danea Plasencia and a retired doctor. He and his daughter, Danea's mother, appeared on Dr Phil. It seems that Danea had mentioned to him that she was considering the BBL procedure and he told her that this was extremely dangerous and he strongly advised her not do it. As a result, both she and her mother hid from him that she was actually going through with the procedure. Next thing he knew, his granddaughter was dead. You just can't save some people from themselves.
She should have listened to her grandfather! Father knows best!
You can't fix Darwinism
That is why regulations are important, just as we have regulations to make sure that our food and drugs are safe.
@@TheDarkDresser Government regulations? Ah, yes. Like when the FDA declared Fen Phen to be "safe."
@@happyhermit3141tbh how much can we actually trust the FDA? Most of what they consider healthy is banned in other countries.
I’m 48 and I have been fat since about age 5. All my life I have felt like I didn’t belong and I feel as if I’ve only half existed all these years. Watching this documentary makes me realize that it doesn’t matter what size you are, society will always tell you you’re not good enough. The girl that was unhappy with her size after 3 babies? I would love to be her size, but she was lied to by social media. Now her babies will never have her to grow up with.
Good for you girl! You made it to 48! Congratulations, no cap, thats a milestone, im turning 40 this year and I don’t take my birthdays for granted!
But she did multiple surgeries before she had those babies. The thing with these type of surgeries u av to go back to do maintenance
You took my thoughts and put them in to words. Literally. At this point the best choice is to be happy with yourself and comfortable with your body. I honestly rather remain fat than dead.
i wish we would teach our daughters that. they are beautiful big, small, short,tall, brown, pale, rich or poor.ladies you are beautiful
People have been wanting to be thin, curvy, pretty, muscly, or handsome long before social media. I remember growing up and noticing how there were girls who were much cuter than me, dressed nicer than me even in the 1st grade. In high school my mother and I would goto the store, I’d bring in 20 clothing items into the dresser and after 10 min put 20 items on the return rack. No one once called me ugly, my family and friends were complimentive. The problem here was she went to a discount place.
My heart goes out to every single family who was or has been affected by this! What a time we are living in indeed!
In Australia you'll be hard pressed to find a legitimate doctor willing to perform BBL'S. They're that dangerous.
Her friend just died and she laughed about being addicted to surgery. Insane.
@Ballygirl886
I picked that up as well 🤦🏾♀️🥳🐐🌸🕊
I agree. I Didn’t like how she did that interview. It was like i don’t care kinda thing . ( she knew the risks )
how do you even get addicted to something has no enjoyable aspect to it? lol. you look worse and are literally getting your body ripped apart and sewn back together... more like an addiction to masochism/self punishment than surgery
Its Mental ilness
Body dysmorphia is a possible reason.
No matter how much plastic surgery you get...the real beauty is inside your heart...facts
Unfortunately, men cannot see women’s hearts from their exterior. But also, fortunately, men cannot see women’s hearts from their exterior, or women would be finding ways to make their hearts more “sexy” to appeal to the troglodytes.
@@goldieslacks All who "read" the bible, yet not getting a picture that we deserve fire again, as we have become SODOM AND GOMORRAH worldwide and we live under masonic rulership, , has forgotten the needed part, BIBLE is to study also. Without studying no knowledge. Without the hunger for truth, no understanding. I remind again, KJV version seem to be perfectly harsh one, as bible should be.
Like Christ is not found among the dead, so is Christianity not found among religions.
Religions are false ways to heaven, created my masons.
Mix not lies with truth ( religions with reality) and risk to lose souls. We suppose to win them over to GOD not lose them into devils hand.
Here i agree also.
That's the truth.
@@KristineMarieTxSPI Kris...everything we need is inside..but for some reason..we always look for validation outside ourselves..
I gasped The first 30 seconds. I was not expecting that.
I rather pay 2k a year for a trainer than surgery.
And eat healthier.
No KFC or McD.
This documentary shows how important it is to love yourself and respect yourself. There was a time when I felt so insecure that I wanted to change everything about me, but then I also started to love me for me, though I felt ugly, I loved my ugly self and then sometimes I felt pretty and loved my pretty self. It’s extremely important to love and respect ourselves. Our body is a temple.
Exactly 💯
Facts
This is a symptom of a self centered society in America.. When you value your bottom over all else.
Right. I've had 3 children and 2 c sections. I embrace my flab. Just exercise eat less and it is going away. These dear women just work on the inside and the outside will follow🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes,keep your head reasonable.
I am a doctor and I think it is really important to educate women about the risks of this procedure. A big buttocks is just not worth the risk of dying. My own cousin flew to Colombia to have this procedure done. She paid half the price (compared to Germany) but during liposuction from the abdomen they perforated her colon. She will never be healthy again as far as we are informed. Very sad what beauty standards and social media do to people's minds.
Wow, I’m so sorry. Does she have to wear a colostomy bag now? Did the Colombian doctor take responsibility or offer a refund?
When I was a young teen a gentleman said to me ''' As soon as you start working, buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because you spend half your life in one and half in the other'''' I never forgot that advice. I always take care of my needs, everything else I have to reconsider, I never go for superficialities. Come to think of it, I never thanked him, until now
@@Cocochantelle Unfortunately she doesn’t talk to us anymore. She is completely mad at us for no reason. But as far as I know she doesn’t have a colostomy and the doctors over there after they informed her husband about the incident said it was not a mistake and she is healthy.
Sad part is they don’t intend on dying they intend on their life improving
Ohhh my God ! I am against cosmetic surgery in my case ! I just work out 6 days a week ! I've noticed my bum has grown dramatically just from exercising and walking ! And it's natural ! ❤
To have these plastic surgery clinics on every block on the street and not offering a refund for backing out, or for a botched procedure is a red flag that this industry has no oversight from the state or local guidelines. When a patient dies there should be a law to give the families the money spent on the surgery back to help pay for funeral arrangements. To have the fat accidental injected in a major artery or blood vessel tells the fact that this surgery isn’t safe.
We need to share this MESS
The power of who you surround yourself with. All my friends have had BBL. Wow.
WORD?!🤔
Show me your friends and I will show you your future.
jeez. time to get new friends.
It's time for her to change her friends

Men you need to make sure your queen your bride knows you love her no matter what!!! I been married 23 years together 26 yes she’s beautiful inside and out at 46 but I’ll always love and desire her regardless
Amen. Been married 23, together 26. Talked about tummy tuck, hubby said babe cut back and work out but I love regardless.💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤❤❤
Thank you, ❤
Women don't do this for men.
Dude, are you trying to get simp points from other women or what...
@@Meng776 One of the women said she was getting the BBL right before her wedding. What more do you simps want us men to do?
These people are head cases and are going to do whatever they want.
Great investigative report officers 👮♀️
This is the most important thing to remember, check your doctors. Trust your instincts and if it seems too good to be true it’s because it is
I'm a woman with a VERY imperfect body. 4 kids and I'm not skinny at all. But I'm glad I'm alive and accept my imperfections ❤
Aging gracefully and evolving into a kind and comfortable person to be around when you are older is an incredibly wonderful place to be. People are relieved to be around people who are real. It’s not comfortable being around people who are obviously terrified of getting older and worry constantly about what people think. That’s a really superficial person.
Our imperfections make us individuals why do women all,want to look the same , we are who we are and are all beautiful with our imperfections and individuality
No one wants to be “ skinny”- a word that implies being unhealthy and one I loathed being called as a kid. I was and am SLIM. There is a big difference.
100 %
Ma'am. Being called a skinny queen is literally a massive compliment especially in America. Don't play now.
I went in for a consult to get a tummy tuck. My surgeon outright told me “I don’t do BBLs in case you were wondering, they are dangerous”. Made me trust him 100%. North Carolina here..
I’m sure no matter what u do your always gonna be ugly
So the gym was a no-go for you? 🤔🤨😒😏🙄
@@VoltairesRevenge And what are you gonna do with that excess skin after you lose weight if it's quite a lot of weight? Some people are looking at surgery either way to get their desired body.
I had a tummy tuck done 3 weeks ago. My doctor told me the same. He also mentioned that he refuses to perform surgery when it's not necessary or it's vain. I trusted him because he's a very honest person.
@@BlueHazyDreams unless you are extra obese you don’t really get lose skin flapping around after a weight loss
Being a surgical nurse for 30 years I’ve saw more plastic surgical procedures than I can count.
Make sure your Dr is board certified. Did you know that Breast augmentation only last 10 to 20 years. Please do your homework. If you need reconstructive surgery due to accident or deformity, You still need to investigate the Dr.
There are many web sites you can find about Drs. who have litigation against them.
Call a teaching hospital,they have plastic surgery clinics where there are residents that are learning procedures.
There is always a department professor there watching making sure everything is done correctly.
The students are general surgery Drs. that want to specialize in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The students have at least 4 years of training before they can pass the boards to be a plastic surgeon.
I hope this helps someone who is contemplating getting a procedure done.
These people need to fix what’s in their heads rather than the outward physical appearance…..
TBH, I considered it for a few weeks after learning that a relative had the surgery in Miami for less than $6K. I researched the facility and the surgeon and the other surgeons at the clinic. Then, I researched BBLs in general. All surgeries are risky, but BBL surgeries are highly risky. My cousin told me that she was planning to do it again because she didn't eat healthy nor exercised and ended up ruining what was already done before. I realized that I rather change my eating habits and exercise...I rather work hard for the body I wanted...I rather hire a personal trainer and get a gym membership and discipline myself. It's totally possible to achieve what you want for less than $6K. These surgeons are counting on our laziness, low self-esteem, and desperation and that is NOT worth our lives and the loved ones we leave behind.
The recovery and upkeep aren’t talked about enough. There’s a reason the bbl girlies are always in the gym
@@masseiy see if they're going to end up in a gym maintaining it anyway, why not just go to a gym without the procedure?
.....and get a Nutritionist
@@3naturalBionutrition Absolutely. If someone needs help with their diet and can afford to see one through their insurance, they should take advantage of that too.
@SweetLivingByGrace I will add insurance or not. If you have an iPhone you can afford it.
My sister had a BBL in Australia and ended up getting a blood clot in her brain and she went blind in one eye. Thank god she recovered from it and it was not permanent. She was in so much pain she needed care 24/7 and I wished I could do more to help her but I couldn’t do anything but pray. I was contemplating a BBL until that happened to her and have been scared ever since. I hope all these beautiful women realise it’s not worth all the pain and to love themselves. God made everyone beautiful in their own ways. 🤍 Rip Danea
I'm from Brazil and no, women are not all curvy here. All women have their particularities and beauties. We need to love ourselves more and put less faults. We need to feed better and let go of sedentary lifestyle. I am VERY happy to see a documentary of this type. All women should watch this video.
Why not the men that pay for it and or thirst after these women?
Have you heard that there are things that cannot be fixed with diets and exercise?? Like, androgynous body shape, fat concentration on tissues, thyroid gland disfunction…and so much more!🤦🏻♀️
Doesn’t mean ppl don’t love themselves. We do it for the same reason you go to the gym. Vanity. We are all vain. Maybe surgery is another level but let’s not act like girls who wear makeup and wigs are different in mindset. Vainity! Surgery is a bigger risk but you all are vain! No one be on the gym talking bout yeeeeeessss let’s go low blood sugar or low cholesterol 😂yall be like let’s get summer time fine. We are all vain so stop acting like there’s a huge gap
Yes, you are so right.
So sad, woman are so Hard to themselves.
Beauty comes in so many ways....
Love and best wishes
🙏✨️😊
There’s a documentary on plastic surgery in Brazil as well.
I love myself for the way I look.
Do I look perfect No. Am I the most beautiful No. But my family thinks I am. And for that I'm grateful
Ladies love yourself for how you are and look. Going under the knife isn't worth it
Don't play with Mother Nature
My gym charges 32.00 a month. Take care everyone. 😢
I’m a trained athlete, I ran long distance for almost 18 years. In 2019 I got diagnosed with Adenomyosis and I gained 25kg, I’m 4 sizes bigger and people comment on my weight all the time. One thing that never crosses my mind is liposuction. I look forward to the day I’m well again and I can run again. We need to be happy in our skin! Perfection comes from inside. Be happy with who you are! 🙌🏼
Stay strong!❤ I'm an athletic woman with endometriosis and I can say nearly all my post-pubescent weight gains and losses have been hormone related. Nothing to do with whether I've been "good" or "bad" with my food choices. (And grown women have seriously got to stop using those terms...!)
Wishing you a good health and better day!!
yes!
I’m sorry to hear you’re currently not able to run. I have Adenomyosis as well, it’s a complete nightmare. Blessings ❤
Best of luck on your journey! Thank you for sharing your testimony
This is an industry driven by greed. It's really heartbreaking.
No, this is '''an industry''' driven by insecurity, and superficiality, there is a choice, what they are selling I am not buying. We cannot leave our well being up to others. I have a friend who fell in love with this man, then after becoming intimate after 6 months, she told me ,she likes him very much, but his P.... was not large enough. I asked her , what did you love about him, before you knew what was in his pants? She said his sense of fairness, his personality his good character, I told her go back to the beginning
@@deidradahl2802 100%. When you dont accept who you are, you unfortunately face consequences.
@@darshanathapa99 Your lips never lie. Each one of us is one in eight billion, we are unique, we are not perfect, but at times it's ok to embrace our imperfections.
@@darshanathapa99-- Absolutely, we all are unique, we are one in eight billion, we are each special
And vanity…
She’s a good interviewer! You can tell this was really breaking her heart 😢
She was so beautiful and had lovely parents - I wish I could have such a father.
I wanted a BBL, was quoted and I asked myself if I really wanted to “look better” at 35 or take the vacation of my dreams. I am taking the vacation.
Enjoy your vacation 😊
I don’t understand the obsession with having exaggerated and unnatural crude features like the bbl. Just looks bizarre to me .
I agree! I would much rather have a tiny, petite feminine butt. A big ole butt doesn’t sound attractive to me. I don’t get the attraction
it doesn't even look good. every i've seen always looks like a deformed butt.
Low self esteem and lack character. These women will get all these surgeries to look good on the outside but are horrible people on the inside. The ones who judge people all day and say horrible things all the time.
@@jerrymylove1754 Judge much?
It looks natural on a black women and that is who they are trying to emulate.
The old doctor in Dinea's family is so respectable and knowledgable. If only she had listened to him.
I don't understand. Her friend died due to surgery, but she is still determined to keep getting surgery. Also, I have no idea how an exhausted surgeon can focus during operations. 20 hours? Mistakes were bound to happen.
I can feel her grandpa's anger from the first second he appeared in this video. How very heartbreaking.
A good surgeon does 2-3 cosmetic surgeries a day max 3x per week. That’s more than enough. I can’t imagine these surgeons doing 7-8 a day. So insane
I'm a dental hygienist and I'm exhausted after cleaning 7-8 patients teeth a day, my body hurts, I'm drained! I can't imagine surgery! Unreal.
Not 7-8 a day. There’s doctors that do 14 a day. When I had surgery I was first on the schedule but he had 14 planned for that day!
Ghost doctors! Yep it's a real thing.😢
@@nadadoesnothing4062how many year total in college to became a dental hygienist??
As a mental health therapist, seeing 7-8 people daily is draining, so for a surgeon to see that many people should be unethical
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.. them insta posts are filtered, and celebrities don't even look like in the magazines! :( So sad
I'd be so mad if my mum risked her life for a needless surgery. People who have kids need to be able to provide for them and raise them.
She betrayed her daughter. What is she teaching her to value?
That mom looks so insecure it’s giving narcissism
Loneliness kills too.
Yep. What is she teaching her kids??… That being yourself is not good enough.
My mother recently got botox, im 28 and shes 46. And when she told me i felt a sense of wrongness. Like who are you?? Is aging gracefully not good enough?? Who you trying to impress?? She just said i did it for myself.
Its just so weird people change themselves like that, these people set no good example for their children.And they tell people to embrace who they are, and they talk body positivity, but then they do things like this, change thenselves, clearly they dont love themselves… its just so backwards and weird
let people do what they want with their bodies, why judge someone who can’t help but feel insecure? do you think they want to feel bad about themselves? the procedures come with a risk and they rolled the dice, but it’s still the cosmetic surgeons who are at fault
Yep,RIP Jacky Oh who passed away May 31st after flying to Miami for a mommy makeover! She left 3 young children behind, ages 6,2,and 10 months. The doctor who performed her surgery was Zachary Okhah AKA Dr.Zach.😢
🤦On the woman who confessed to BBL addiction, that must be it. Addiction. How else would you continue doing the same procedure that KILLED your friend. 😠
Let's not forget emphasizing the patient' own 'personal responsibility' when making a decision on surgical enhancement procedures. There's a lot of blame to go around, including to we women making that final, crucial decision. Btw, who in their right mind undergoes a major surgical procedure in strip-mall?!!
You're right. But it doesn't make their situation any better when money hungry untrained doctors play on their vulnerabilities and insecurities either just to make a dollar.
@cartersdaughter2625 Let no woman be duped by imposter surgical charlatan' bargain basement, cut-rate specials ever again...
RIP Jacky Oh and other women who lost their lives. Ladies we must love ourselves more and do it the right way. Limit ourselves on social media. Eat healthy and exercise. Social media is so toxic.
Been off insta for 4 months and haven’t been happier. Shit had me depressed
Soooo incredibly sad
its not just social media if you look different you will be treated differently in real life too
@@BriaBarrowsweak much.
@Rack City not as weak as your comment 😅
This is the age of insecurity, low self esteem, greed, and self centeredness.
So true!😮
narcissism and that comes from a dark place
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,
This is also the time of victim hood and virtue signaling.
sad
Condolences to the family.😪
No one is forcing these women to book appointments with these doctors.. I know a lot of women who want the bbl surgery so bad.. Understand these women are well aware of the high risk but don’t care and still go through with it.. This is almost like suicidal.. 😢😢😢
OMG , I had an appointment with Dr . Sergio Alvarez in November 2018 . Flew from NJ to Miami , they canceled my appt because I wanted to meet the surgeon . Knowing I was flying in for a consult . Albeit not BBL, but Lipo . I left a horrible review based on lack of professionalism . It was a God Intervention not to go near him 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
“Those doctors are a disgrace to medicine.” Very powerful
take it easy
100% agree
They need to work out it's they choice but yes it's sad
And these ladies see what hes done & see what's going on & they still want to go through with the surgery wow these people are sad too
That’s smiley lmao she’s from a reality tv show baddies east
