A Nigerian lady has shared how a fake surgeon nearly cost her life during a BBL procedure.
She revealed she spent N7 million treating complications after a nurse posed as a doctor.
A Nigerian lady has narrated her near-de@th experience following a botched Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure in Lagos.
According to her, the surgery almost claimed her life after she discovered that the person who operated on her was not a certified plastic surgeon but a nurse posing as one.
Sharing her ordeal via her X handle, @dammiedammie35, she wrote: “I spent N7 million treating BBL complications and almost lost my life after a Nigerian nurse who lied about being a plastic surgeon performed the surgery on me in Lagos.”
In a video accompanying the post, she warned women to be cautious when choosing clinics for cosmetic procedures, saying many rely on social media influencers rather than conducting proper research.
“Please, don’t go to a hospital because of influencers. Do your due diligence. There are good hospitals in Lagos and Nigeria, but first ask, if your doctor a plastic surgeon? Anything can happen and they will leave you on the bed,” she said.
She added that when she reached out to the nurse who carried out the operation after suffering complications, he dismissed her concerns, telling her to be grateful that she was still alive.
The lady urged others considering cosmetic surgery to thoroughly verify the qualifications of their surgeons to avoid life-threatening outcomes.
