A WOMAN has revealed that she was left fighting for her life after getting an ‘extreme’ Brazilian butt lift (BBL).
The influencer known as @TheeHtxHottiee, 30, says her latest cosmetic surgery journey in Mexico turned into a nightmare, warning others of the hidden dangers of medical tourism.
She told how she was left with multiple problems revolving around infections, which landed her in hospital, and how the result is more than she bargained for.
She says: “I went for a tummy tuck and a BBL.
“My BBL is TOO big – and it nearly killed me.
“I was in surgery double the time that I was supposed to be. I lost so much blood that I had to get six blood transfusions.”;
What was meant to be a routine enhancement turned life-threatening when complications spiralled out of control.
The Texas born influencer described how what began as a bid to perfect her figure with a second BBL, ended in five emergency surgeries, including a painful skin graft.
Photos and clips shared online show the dramatic results of what she now describes as an ‘extreme BBL,’ a much larger result than what she originally hoped for.
Making matters even worse, the language barrier in Mexico left her family in the dark during her hours-long operation.
While her first BBL went smoothly, she claims this second operation nearly cost her her life.
Now, she’s speaking out about the risks she went through to get her eye-catching figure.
She says: “When I got back to the US, I was admitted into the hospital for almost four months due to an infection in my bloodstream and an infection on the skin where my tummy tuck was closed.
“They had to take skin from my thighs and put it on my stomach.
“My mother and twin sister thought I was dead because I had been in surgery so long with no word.
“When I awoke, they were already driving down to Mexico.
“I wanted to be honest about what happened.
“People don’t always see the dangerous side.”;
