A Nigerian lady has gone viral after recounting her near-death experience from a failed Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in Lagos, revealing that the procedure was done by an uncertified nurse.

In a video shared on X by @dammiedammie35, she warned women seeking cosmetic surgery:

“You want to get your body done, BBL or liposuction, but do you know you have to make your own research? I got my body done in April and it was the worst mistake of my life. I used over ₦7 million to treat complications, I’m not exaggerating o.”

She explained that she chose the clinic after seeing influencers promote it online, but things went terribly wrong just days after the surgery.

“Please, don’t go to a hospital because of influencers. Do your due diligence. There are good hospitals in Lagos, but first ask, is your doctor a plastic surgeon? Anything can happen and they will leave you on the bed,” she cautioned.

The woman later found out that the person who operated on her was a nurse, not a certified plastic surgeon.

Her revelation has triggered massive reactions, with many Nigerians warning against the growing trend of unsafe cosmetic procedures promoted on social media.
