Risky butt lift

Why this cosmetic surgery so often ends fatally

More and more young women are opting for the extremely risky "Brazilian butt lift" cosmetic surgery. One in 3400 women dies during this operation. A doctor from Linz explains what makes the procedure so dangerous.

"Before my operation, I thought to myself: at least I'll have a nice butt when I die." This quote comes from the well-known influencer "LenaGlams", who made her experiences after a Brazilian butt lift public in a podcast. Driven by social media, the then 19-year-old allowed herself to be seduced into the most dangerous operation in the world. She now regrets the operation for aesthetic reasons. But that's the least of the surgery's problems.
