US Police Officer, 26, Dies After Undergoing Brazilian Butt-Lift Procedure
A 26-year-old US police office has died after undergoing Brazilian Butt Lift surgery and complaining of "extreme pain" following the risky cosmetic procedure. According to People, Wildelis Rosa, who was also a US Army Reservist, died on March 23, a day after her birthday. First, she had her pre-operative blood work done at Prestige Plastic Surgery Clinic in South Florida on March 19, and then the following day, doctors removed fat from 12 different areas around her body and injected it into the buttocks. Ms Rosa paid $7,495 (approximately Rs 641,000) for the procedure. She was recovering at a short-term rental and told her family about the procedure three days after the surgery, on March 22. However, her sister, Anamin Vazquez, said that they immediately had a feeling "in our guts like something is wrong". So she texted the 26-year-old on March 22, her birthday, but there was "no answer". "I texted her and I said, 'I hope you're doing okay you're enjoying your birthday.' But there was no answer back," Ms Vazquez said. The next morning, on March 23, one of Ms Rosa's friends who was staying with her found the cop unresponsive after she collapsed in the bathroom. They immediately performed CPR on her, but she passed away. The Miami-Dade medical examiner ruled her cause of death as a pulmonary embolism from blood clots associated with cosmetic surgery, per the outlet. Ms Rosa's friend told officials that the 26-year-old went for a follow-up appointment the day after her surgery, where she complained of "extreme pain". They also said that at the rental, she was having difficulty breathing and her blood pressure had been "drastically" dropping. The day before she died, Ms Rosa reportedly also appeared pale, had dilated pupils, her lips appeared purple, and she said she had no feelings in her legs or feet, the friend said. According to People, Ms Rosa had just come back from a deployment to Kuwait as a US Army Reservist. Her sister said that she wanted her death to be a "cautionary tale for those who are thinking of having these surgeries". Notably, Ms Rosa's death marks a string of deaths related to cosmetic surgeries. According to the New York Post, the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner's Office has certified 25 deaths due to complications with cosmetic procedures, involving several different doctors and clinics over the last three and a half years.

Louisiana police officer, 26, dies just days after receiving popular plastic surgery
Wildelis Rosa died mere days after undergoing a Brazilian butt lift, which experts call one of the riskiest procedures a person can have. The police officer and Army reservist had scheduled the operation as a birthday treat for herself. She had just recently returned from deployment in Kuwait when she underwent the procedure in March 2025. Originally from New Orleans, Rosa, 26, went to Miami for the surgery, where prices are more affordable than in other major cities, and there is a wealth of clinics with world-renowned plastic surgeons. For roughly 30,000 American women each year, the BBL is the optimal surgical route to obtain a Kardashian-esque hourglass figure, with a small waist and ample hips and buttocks. Despite their popularity, BBLs carry the highest complication rates of all plastic surgeries, with one in 3,000 patients dying of lung failure as a result of fat accidentally being injected into a vein, infection or sepsis, and blood loss. Rosa's recovery took a turn just days after the surgery. Her blood pressure dropped, and she was having trouble breathing. Three days after the operation, she collapsed in her bathroom and was found unresponsive. CPR attempts failed, and she was pronounced dead the next morning. While Rosa died in March of a severe blood clot that had traveled to her lungs, her death was only reported this week by her family. Rosa, who aspired to work for the FBI, paid roughly $7,500 for the procedure, in which fat is liposuctioned from the abdomen, lower back, or other fatty areas of the body and injected into the buttocks to enlarge and shape them. Doctors removed fat from 12 areas around her body, according to local reporting. The price she paid falls within the standard price range for such a procedure in Miami, where it typically costs between $3,000 and $15,000, depending on the surgeon. One of her four older siblings, Anamin Vazquez, knew she had gone to Miami but only learned about the surgery after it had happened. She said: 'We had just that feeling in our guts, like something was wrong. 'I texted her and said, 'I hope you're doing okay, you're enjoying your birthday.' But there was no answer back.' Rosa's family did not find out about the surgery until three days after the fact, when Rosa collapsed. By the following morning, she was dead. Some estimates suggest that Miami-Dade County surgeons perform between 15,000 and 18,000 BBLs per year, the most in the country. However, complications can still arise, even in procedures performed by the best plastic surgeons. The surgery is technically challenging, involving careful liposuction and strategic fat transfer that avoids injecting the fat into a vein, where it can then travel to other organs. According to her friend, Rosa was discharged from the plastic surgery clinic to her short-term rental about an hour after the procedure on March 18, a Tuesday. When she went for a massage on Friday, Rosa was pale, with dilated pupils, and her lips were purple, according to her friend, who added that Rosa later complained of having no sensation in her legs or feet. At a follow-up appointment the next day, she complained of extreme pain and a loss of sensation in her legs and feet. 'Things took a turn Saturday. That's when she fell,' Vasquez said. 'She went to the bathroom, and she fell down.' The medical examiner ruled Rosa's death the following day an accident and not the result of medical neglect. When South Florida's NBC News affiliate contacted the clinic Rosa went to and a representative said they did not recall her case. They did not answer specific questions, but stated that they follow all protocols for safety before and after procedures. About 63,400 butt augmentations, including fat injections, fillers, and implants, were performed in the US in 2021, up from 45,000 the year prior, according to the Aesthetic Society, a professional organization and advocacy group for board-certified plastic surgeons.
