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.

Nope! Could not pay me to get elective surgery!
Most of the women getting these type of surgeries are immigrants and white women
Bbl look ridiculous. Natural curves are so much better. Just doing squats everyday will give you a nice proportional shape. Just invest in your own health. You have 1 body, don't abuse it 😢
What about these women being less weak and less susceptible de fall for any stupid influence
My thoughts: these women have mental health issues around body image. They don't need BBLs, they need a mental health assessments. Body dismorphic disorder. And it's sad that doctor's are taking advantage of people. It doesn't help either with social media glorifying what a perfect body is. I am more grateful for what I have and what functions how it should after watching this. God sees those doctor's and they will have to answer for that one way or the other.
Where is her perfect body !?!?!
😒 So obviously, Latinx concentrated Miami is a shallow place with Latinx doctors importing low ethical standards from Latin culture. Great! Hope that "surgeon" who caused patients' death gets some serious jail time and sued for every penny he's got.
Doctors are all about money but these women are all about vanity and they don't value their own life . Not better then these doctors
Wow! I’m at a lost for words!
So you just leave out the part where you turned into baby powder??
I thank GOD I'm already shaped like a coke bottle!!!!❤ Nothing wrong with going to the gym!!!! Do it naturally ladies! It's better & safer!
Sending you my love, he was my doctor!! This is mind blowing to me.
More People try to build up and carving their bodies not their MINDS
I have 0 empathy
Newsflash women: 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.
so stupid !!! why ???? why don't they do sports
I lived in Miami for a few years, I hated it and the people so much that I literally moved to Asia. 😂
The whole city and state needs to be jettisoned into space.
what about ruining and exercise? hmmm? like that wasn't an option at all because of what? did she had a disability? kardashian lovers trump supporters need to understand 2+2=4
These poor families, my heart goes out to all of them
seeing that needle make me goosebumps. we women really no need this dangerous procedure, just do squatting, yoga and other exercises daily and, it shape our lower body naturally.
Great video, I think videos like these will help younger women see the real risks behind these surgeries and hopefully turns them away from it altogether.
Im a nurse, and i had two patients in the ICU a few months apart, both with sepsis from BBLs in miami florida.
Low cognitive function.
