Brazilian bum's popular buttock augmentation procedure has proven to be life threatening. The Sun edition told about the fate of two women who died as a result of such an intervention.
The first victim - the mother of three children Lea Cambridge (we have already told you this story) - died right during the procedure, which was carried out in Turkey on August 29, notes Rambler. The exact causes of her death have not yet been established. Mom of three children decided on the operation, which has recently become increasingly popular - an increase in the buttocks due to its own fat from the abdomen.
“I was happy a couple of days ago. And now I'm broken, and this is forever. It hurts a lot, and this is just the beginning. My life is over, ”commented Cambridge 31-year-old Scott Franks's husband.
The second victim also died The Sun - 29-year-old Heather Meadows from West Virginia who came to the Encore Plastic Surgery Clinic in Florida for a buttock lift. She died after the Brazilian bum surgery at the clinic in 2016 due to the fact that fatty fragments clogged the girl's arteries and led to the failure of internal organs.
Last year, a survey of 692 surgeons from around the world showed that 32 patients died from a condition called fat embolism - in which fat injected into the buttocks moves to other parts of the body where it should not be, and leads to blockages of vital vessels. If this is not done correctly, things can end very badly.
“Most of these deaths appear to have been the result of the work of unskilled practitioners working in uncertified facilities, including homes and garages. But there are other problems - gangrene and sepsis, which can also be fatal, ”- said Professor-surgeon Jim Frame.
The Brazilian bum procedure is carried out in four stages, each of which costs about 260 dollars. According to the creators, in addition to increasing the buttocks, the procedure helps to increase the elasticity of the skin, eliminates stretch marks and cellulite.
“For everything to go right, the transplanted fat must be nourished, so it is important to inject it into tissues with a good blood supply,” experts say. - Fat is more likely to stay in place if it is injected into the muscles - but this is where the risk factor comes in. Injecting fat into the buttocks can easily lead to serious problems if done incorrectly. This is a fat embolism, when in the lungs a fatty fragment blocks the flow of oxygen, and in the brain it can cause a stroke.
In August, Emma-Jane Woodhams, a member of the British reality TV show Love Island, took advantage of the death of a mother of many children who died during the Brazilian bum procedure in order to advertise a slimming corset in profile. your Instagram.
“So, today I read an article that Brazilian bum operations become really dangerous and fatal in 1 in 3000 cases! As I said before and I will say again - ladies, buy yourself this slimming corset, squat until you sweat, and work with what your mom gave you, enjoy your natural shape. It is safe, it is simple and it gives magical results without such risks. "
According to experts, when it comes to Brazilian buttock lift, the risks exceed the benefits. But in a society obsessed with beauty and the desire to resemble celebrities, the procedure remains popular, even if patients are told about the possible consequences. Therefore, the task of the surgeons is not only to explain the risks, but also to increase their professional qualifications, and the patients themselves should be referred exclusively to licensed institutions to doctors who have the right to engage in such operations.
