A woman is warning cosmetic connoisseurs of the supposedly life-changing fate her friend suffered after she went for a Brazilian butt lift, aka BBL, and left without have kidneys.
The woman traveling with Anita took to YouTube to share the story of her friend who went abroad for BBL surgery and had her kidney stolen in the process.
Life will ‘never be the same’ for friend after kidney was stolen during BBL surgery abroad
She wrote to her friend that “life will never be the same for her”.
Anita writes, “Life will never be the same for her, if you are thinking about achieving a BBL degree, then you need to watch this video. This is one of the most shocking and tragic stories you’ll ever hear, and it’s one of those stories you need to know. By learning about this case, you will be able to help protect other potential victims and ensure that this never happens to anyone else.”
According to Anita, her friend, who has not been named, went to the Dominican Republic for liposuction and a tummy tuck, and paid $3,500 for the surgeries.
However, she quickly began complaining of pain in her kidney area shortly after she returned to the state. After going to the doctor, the doctor discovered that I only had one kidney.
“She went to the doctor and then she just complained of body aches, headaches, you know, feeling very heavy all the time. It shows that she only has one kidney,” the woman says in the video. “So in DR, this botchist took one of her kidneys and she thought her life was being taken away.”
While BBL patients who opt for a bargain overseas don’t always have their organs stolen, there are some cases of fatal complications from sham surgery.
“Significantly higher mortality” with BBL surgery compared with other cosmetic procedures
According to a 2017 reportabout 3% of the 692 surgeons surveyed (about 21 people) admitted that they had experienced the death of a patient after BBL surgery.
The study concluded that there was a “significantly higher mortality rate” with BBL surgery than with any other cosmetic procedure.
Just earlier this year, a woman who traveled to the Dominican Republic for treatment with BBL died of complications following the surgery.
Shacare Terry, a 31-year-old mother of two and owner of a daycare in Indianapolis, died after traveling out of the county to collect ticks and a BBL, Shade room previous report.

Her condition continued to deteriorate following the surgery, with medical staff insisting all she needed was rest.
However, after a few days, Terry was on dialysis and she started having trouble breathing.
Based on WRTV, Terry traveled to the Dominican Republic in April with her childhood friend, Carlesha Williams. Sister Sharae Terry says she knew something was wrong after FaceTime with her sister a few days after the surgery, and she doesn’t look like the older sister she knows.
Shacare’s death devastated her family. Next, her sister plans to get more answers about her unfortunate death.
