A young New Orleans police officer has died days after undergoing a Brazilian butt lift and complaining of “extreme pain” following the risky cosmetic procedure...
Rosa — who was also a US Army Reservist who had just come back from deployment in Kuwait — had her pre-operative blood work done at Prestige Plastic Surgery Clinic in South Florida on March 19, and the following day, doctors removed fat from 12 areas around her body and injected it into the buttocks...
The Miami-Dade medical examiner ruled her cause of death as a pulmonary embolism from blood clots associated with cosmetic surgery, NBC6 reported.
Her friend told the medical examiner that Rosa went for a follow-up appointment the day after her surgery, where she complained of “extreme pain,” and while at their rental, she was having difficulty breathing and her blood pressure had been “drastically” dropping.
The day before her death, her friend also noted she appeared pale, had dilated pupils, her lips appeared purple, and she said she had no feeling in her legs or feet...
Brazilian butt lifts have been around since the 1960s but gained significant popularity in the 2010s — largely driven by social media trends and celebrity influence — with a 30% increase in procedures between 2014 and 2015, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
In 2024, nearly 30,000 BBL surgeries were performed in the US, representing 28% of all cosmetic procedures in the US.
However, despite its popularity, the cosmetic surgery has one of the highest mortality rates, with roughly 1 in 15,000 patients dying since safety guidelines were strictly enforced in 2019, according to the National Library of Medicine.

General rule... avoid going under the knife if at all possible.
It’s a Black thing. Flat butts make you look white from the rear
I hear Kim K is very upset that men (ie. Tom Brady) look at younger women whose looks haven’t quite faded, rather than her (Kim’s) buttocks. Wait until she hits her 50’s. She will be soooo depressed then.
That might affect her ability to enter a standard interior doorway.
was it really worth getting a fatter butt?
I just don’t understand all the botox and procedures so many women go thru in the name of vanity, and yes, some men too.
get over yourself, and just make the best of the body you were given.
If you “need” unnecessary cosmetic surgery to feel better, the problem isn’t the surgical area.
Butt lifts are for stupid idiots. I think this one proves that quite well.
Tennis and soccer do the same thing, to some extent.
Yes, it’s mostly a black thing. Women who get undergo this wacky procedure are hoping to attract black men.
Or any man?
Did she intend to wear a camo maternity blouse on backwards for her Army reserve weekends?
The procedure sounds like something you would do to your chicken before grilling.
I thought that was what high heels were for.
Stilletos work for many men.
Doodies?
Spatchcocking? That requires a mallet or bricks.
People are lost and stupid.
“Practitioners” have used “Fix-a-Flat”, but not successfully...

That photo is not of the woman who died.
The teen girls and prostitutes in this area seem to think extra poofy pouty lips are a great investment. They all walk around looking like someone gave them a fat lip in an argument and then had them suck on a lemon.
