A Florida woman has been left fighting for her life after a botched Brazilian butt lift operation from an unqualified surgeon, her husband alleged in a new lawsuit.
Daidys Pena Garces, 50, underwent the procedure, also known as a BBL, at A&E Med Spa in Miami on May 15, 2023.
The operation was performed by Dr. Fermin Morales, who only weeks later caused another BBL patient's death following the procedure, state health officials said.
The operation involves taking fat from the hips, abdomen and other areas via liposuction, before injecting it into the buttocks.
Recipients hope for a bigger, more pert behind, but experts have long warned of the dangers of BBLs, which can prove fatal.
