Dr. Fermin Morales, a board certified surgeon, has been accused by the Florida Department of Health of causing the death of a Brazilian butt lift patient. The patient, referred to as 'S.L., died the day after surgery at Venus Cosmetic Institute. The complaint alleges Morales mistakenly injected fat into the glute muscles instead of the right areas, leading to fatal complications. The incident raises serious safety concerns about practices at the associated surgery center, as it reflects a broader issue of patient safety in cosmetic procedures. Morales is currently linked with New Life Plastic Surgery, which has faced complaints related to surgery complications in the past.
Injecting fat into glute muscles violates Florida Administrative Code. This may have resulted in a patient's death during an unauthorized Brazilian butt lift surgery.
Morales documented using ultrasound guidance when placing the fat, yet he ultimately injected it into the patient's glute muscles, which is a significant deviation from safe practice.
