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.

Something stinks...
Disgusting ‘BBL smell’ side effect might make people reconsider getting popular surgery
Play stupid games...
Ive seen females with strange looking butt shapes...
The top is too high to be natural...
Vanity kills, should be on her headstone.
How many articles have we read over the years of deaths caused by cosmetic “butt” surgeries? A lot if I recall. I can’t believe women are still doing this. The risk of death is pretty high. 1 in 15,000 is not a chance I would take.
Looks like she has plenty more fat to be re-located.
Exercise and diet? Who’s got time for that?
Depends on what duties you’re talking about.
The top is too high to be natural...
You might have seen women wearing specialized butt-lifting underwear. It's a thing.
Someone needs to sue the Kardashians...jus’ sayin’
Sounds like trying to keep up with the Kardashians.
She could have taken up roller blading. That would have built her booty muscles up naturally. .
I never understood this fat rear end thing going on with women.
In particular these fat rear ended women we see in public wearing skin tight attire showing the butt crack. It’s enough to make a person want to vomit.
It’s so refreshing to see an adult woman with a natural figure, even those that are a little plump.
Most likely these body-morph folks have varying degrees of “personal dysphoria”...maybe an obsessive mania...
Think of all the people who try an alter their bodies to achieve “whatever” image they think they must have...
BBL, sexual organ mutilation, breast implants, facelifts, extreme body building, mega-tattoos, facial metal implants, nose jobs, “hoo-hah” jobs, and finally Anthony Loffredo.
Can’t be a financial depression as long as there is money to pay for this.
That’s just disgusting.
I remember when women were trying to hide a large butt.
The big cliche was "Does this dress make me look fat"?
I don’t know what’s harder to believe:
1. Women who think they are more attractive like that
2. Men who actually find that attractive
