Oops! When BBLs Go Wildly Wrong: 15 Shocking Stories

Kayla Jade, a big online star, chased a BBL in Turkey thinking she found the jackpot. Spoiler: it was a trap! The docs said she didn’t have enough fat, but did the surgery anyway. Post-op, things got creepy when a nurse got touchy without permission. She also ended up vomiting blood and in a fog, barely making it through the nightmare. After a fix-up back home, she’s lucky to be here telling the tale.

Natasha Crown spent a fortune on five BBLs, aiming for the world’s biggest butt - mission accomplished! But this size queen ended up tipping the scales with nearly 100 lbs added through surgery alone. Life now means buying two plane seats and constantly bumping into things. Even strangers find her look a little intimidating. The moral? Sometimes, too much is... just too much.

Cardi B spilled the tea on her dodgy silicone injections from 2014, done in a questionable Queens basement for $800. Years later, she’s been fighting surgeries to get that silicone out because it caused serious health headaches. She’s warning everyone to steer clear because this stuff is no joke - it can move around inside you and cause permanent damage. Yikes!

When Paloma turned 14, her mom and her mom’s boyfriend (a surgeon) planned a cosmetic gift package for her - breast implants, liposuction, and a BBL, all behind Dad’s back. Things got spooky when relatives noticed Paloma looked way 'more grown-up' overnight. The family later found out she didn’t die from COVID like they were told, but from complications of those secret surgeries. Mom and surgeon got charged. Drama level: max.

Erica Russell, a mom of five, flew to Miami to get her dream curves but ended up paying a huge price. The surgeon had already done six operations that day (yep, SIX!) and was clocking 14 hours straight. Unfortunately, during her BBL, he accidentally poked holes in her organs. The result? Internal bleeding and a fat embolism that took her life. The family’s fighting to make sure no one else faces this madness.

María Peñaloza decided to ditch her BBL after regretting it and turned to a TikTok guy who claimed he was a plastic surgeon. The catch? He wasn’t licensed, and he did the risky surgery at his house with no hospital backup. He injected her with lidocaine, and minutes later, she went into cardiac arrest and died. Dude got caught trying to flee the country. Lesson: trust real docs, not social media.

Katie Price called her latest BBL “the most painful operation ever.” She hopped over to Turkey for the bargain deal, then showed off the results in Spain, but fans weren’t impressed. Many said her new behind looked kinda… off. Plus, a mystery patch on her butt led to all kinds of wild guesses. She’s still gonna keep hunting for surgery abroad, though. Ouch!

Chloe Ferry, a TV star, poured over £50,000 into BBLs but ended up hating the look and feeling super down. The procedures made her feel like she’d lost herself, and online trolls only made it worse. Finally, she had it removed and said trying on jeans again felt amazing. The BBL drama turned into a serious mental health rollercoaster.

Ahmonique Miller and her sister went to Miami for BBLs, but after the surgery, Ahmonique was sent to a shady recovery home. The next day, her sister found her lifeless. Turns out, the recovery spot gave her meds she shouldn’t have had, mixing Oxycodone with a mystery drug that triggered her death. Talk about a nightmare aftercare story.

Cindyana Santangelo, from CSI: Miami fame, trusted a woman known underground for doing illegal cosmetic injections. The silicone injections went horribly wrong and caused an embolism that killed her. Turns out this 'expert' had a serious criminal past and was warned about the dangers but ignored them anyway. Justice caught up with her, big time.

Demi Agoglia, a UK mum, flew to Istanbul for her BBL dreams but barely made it back. Day one: she said she loved her new curves. Day two: her partner sent the heartbreaking message 'She’s gone.' Fat embolism was the culprit. The coroner called it a “barbaric medical practice” and slammed the poor care all around. Major warning bells here.

Daidys Peña trusted a Florida spa and a doctor who claimed to be a pro but wasn’t board-certified. After her BBL, she got a massive pulmonary embolism and lost the ability to walk, talk, or eat solo. Now her husband is her full-time caregiver. Lawsuit alert: her family wants to make sure no one else gets fooled by fake credentials.

Marilha Menezes wanted a body makeover in Rio but landed in a clinic with expired meds and tired equipment. The surgeon, with a sketchy past, accidentally pierced her kidney during the BBL, causing fatal bleeding. Instead of rushing her to a hospital, he tried to patch her up in his shabby setup. Not surprisingly, she passed away. The surgeon got hauled back to jail. Yikes.

Hayley Dowell flew to Istanbul planning to nip and tuck three spots: tummy, hips, and the famous BBL. But the clinic didn’t tell her the whole truth. The surgeon went MIA halfway through, leaving the anesthetist to finish up in less than two hours. Hours later, she suffered a fatal embolism and died that night. Plus, she thought she was only doing two surgeries, not three. Talk about shock therapy.

Alice Webb, a UK mom, trusted a beautician hyping a 'non-surgical BBL' on social media. But this involved high-volume injections of hyaluronic acid from folks with zero medical training. Shortly after, Alice got super sick and died in hospital. She’s thought to be the UK’s first victim of this unofficial BBL type. Police later arrested two people, including the 'Lip King.' Major caution: fame on TikTok does NOT equal safety!
