A Florida plastic surgeon is under investigation after his surgery-obsessed wife suffered a cardiac arrest while on his operating table.
Hillary Brown, 33, went under the knife on November 21 at her husband Dr Ben Brown's clinic, Restore Plastic Surgery, in Gulf Breeze Florida, before suffering a medical emergency in the middle of 'several procedures.'
A mother of three young children from a previous marriage, Brown spent a week in a coma before she passed away, as she was taken off life support when it was determined her brain had been starved of oxygen.
Her husband's clinic is reportedly facing several separate medical malpractice lawsuits, and is being investigated by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office.
Brown passed away seven days after the fateful procedure on November 21, when she was rushed to hospital after Ben alerted 911 from his clinic at around 4:15pm.
Court records seen by USA Today noted that she was 'in the process of several surgical procedures when she was struck by the cardiac arrest, after being potentially overmedicated.
Brown's father, Marty Ellington, told the Pensacola News Journal that he received a frantic phone call from Ben telling them to race to Florida from their home in Texas right away.
While saying her relationship with Ben had been volatile, Ellington said she enjoyed being married to a plastic surgeon as he could perform any number of surgeries on her at a whim.
'She was gorgeous. We kept telling her, ‘Why are you doing this?’ he recalled.
An award-winning surgeon, Ben studied at Georgetown University and graduated top of his medical school class, according to his company profile. His specialties include breast enhancement, facial rejuvenation and body contouring.

Teri Shiavo understands.
Instead of purchasing a blow up doll ... You make one!🤔
BTW: “Gorgeous?”
Not to speak I’ll of the dead but .. that’s a stretch!🥴
So the marriage was a loveless sham from the getgo...
This woman needed a psychiatrist, not a plastic surgeon.
From surgeon to mortician.
So that’ll be an ID episode next year.
follow the money
One comment was made that I found really funny.
“I’d rather look like the back end of a bus and be alive!”🤣
Wonder if the surgical procedures will make her appearance more attractive in her coffin. Not allowing bill clintoon to be at the funeral would be smart.
No such thing as minor elective surgery. The wife was crazy addicted to cosmetic surgery. The husband was crazy for performing surgery on his wife.
This criminally sick. In florida, lots of plastic surgeons and office based unregulated crap. If hours of surgery she was no doubt under TIVA (total IV general) and this sick bastard killed her They ran out of usual meds (no doubt propofol) and didn’t have the right meds. No crash cart. No oxygen. That means no airway equipment. And this criminal surgeon also likely was supervising some CRNA or “sedation nurse” and working away making his wife Barbie while she died in front of him not monitored.
Office based surgeries are largely poorly regulated and not a place to have a procedure more than a mole taken off.
Please, good friends, never have a procedure where there is not an anesthesiologist available. CRNAs will tell you the do just as well as us and it just ain’t true. Care team anesthesia is ok under medical direction which means an anesthesiologist is immediately available and has no more than four rooms to supervise and must be present at the most dangerous times and frequently throughout. Or request MD administered anesthesia only.
As for the surgeon, you NEVER, do anything on your family as you have no clinical impartiality. This surgeon should lose his license, and never be allowed to pick up a scalpel again. Sadly lots of plastic surgeons do freebies on their wives and girlfriends which is an ethical problem.
He before pictures and history suggest she has had at a minimum an abdominoplasty which is a perilous 4-6 hour surgery. She has had a least one breast Augmentation if not a reduction and mastopexy with subsequent augmentation and Body contouring usually involves a lot of liposuction which makes the patient hypothermic and many fluid shifts with electrolyte problems.
Because of the lack of emergency equipment she no doubt arrested and didn’t have immediate airway control or oxygen and suffered brain death. God rest her soul. I hope the florida board of medicine takes this guy and makes sure he never practices medicine again. He is a monster.
Or just maybe she got the clot shot.
He was awful. So was she.
There was a woman in NC who went to a plastic surgeon for some minor surgery. The nurse who assisted the surgeon knew the patient from high school and was still upset, allegedly, that the patient had taken her boyfriend back then. Post op, the nurse ate a biscuit while the patient went into distress and didn’t do anything about it. The patient died and the nurse went on her happy way.
