Two British Women Died after undergoing Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery

What I read

Kim Kardashian

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPs) said that Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is one of the most dangerous cosmetic surgeries to proceed. There is estimated one death in 3000 according to what BAAPs told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire Programme. Leah Cambridge, a 29-year-old British woman, died while undergoing a BBL procedure in Turkey. Furthermore, a second British woman in her late 20s also died this year. Gareth Lambe, consultant plastic surgeon and BAAPs member explained that BBL has the highest death rate of all cosmetic procedures for the reason that the risk of injecting fat into veins into the butt can travel to the heart or the brain.

My response 

I've seen many American celebrities underwent BBL like Kim Kadashian, Nicki Minaj, Kylie Jenner then appeared in the media. They have huge influences on huge amount of people especially teenagers. When these celebrities did BBL, many viewers see it as a way to be nearer to the ideal of "beauty". Many women would risk their lives to appear more attractive.
According to https://www.medmalfirm.com, not only BBL costs a lot of money but it also causes dangerous heath effects. For example, bruising, stretch marks, blood clots excessive blood loss, cardiac and pulmonary complications, fat embolism, deep vein thrombosis, complications associated with liposuction and anesthesia and necrosis of fat.
In conclusion, celebrities should convince the people to embrace their own natural bodies. Also, the people should develop their own confidence by visiting a therapist if necessary. Finally, primary schools should organize creative activities for the students so that they can heighten their self-esteem and reduce insecurity which make them be secure grown up adults in the future.

My question

If you could ban Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, would you ban it? Why?

  1. Conforming to your question, It probably could not ban the Brazilian Butt Lift surgery or create a campaign “Women should’n have to go that surgery. If you relise to the personal freedoms or human rights, banning BBLs may exactly infringe the women’s rights although something you do can save their life. However, this article is quite weakness in logical appeals as it shows medical data of the BBLs only using chemical agents such a permanant filler-silicone. Surely, the chemical agents are not compatible with human body, they might act as causative agents which affet neurological, cardiac and blood systems. Contrary to stereotype, it has alternative agents for the BBLs by using fats from body. It is safety and do not poison to human system, but women who need to do this way should have lots of fats at the hips. I finally offer an alternative way that better more than inject silicone or fat to the butt. The way is exercise specifically to the butt, it called Brazil Butt Lift even though it uses long time to get the Brazillian Butt. It is very safety and good for health.

  2. I'm the one who have seen many american celebrities underwent the BBL surgery, some of them got the good result but some didn't. I think the main point of this story is attitude, personal taste and how people value themselves and their body. Except the surgery that people, especially women, would get to make them pretty, there're many ways such as exercise, body weight, weightlifting. But the quickest way is surgery, despite it cost a lot of money and be risky but it's worthwhile.

  3. I'm afraid that my first thought on seeing the photograph was: "Do some people like this?" Of course, that's just my personal preference, and unlike other opinions, there is no particular reason why others should feel as I do. I also enjoy reading US Supreme Court opinions, which I realise is not what everyone thinks is fun.

    But I also agree with Kieng and Mon that if that's what people want, it is their decision to make, however risky it might be for themselves. For the same reason, we cannot ban people from jumping out of planes or smoking cigarettes for fun if they are only putting themselves at risk. It's not the government's business to protect people from their own foolishness.
