Crystal Heath wanted to go in for a Brazilian butt-lift but instead received a tummy tuck, and she ended up with a seven-inch hole in her stomach as well as a failing kidney because of the botched surgery that she hadn’t even asked for.

Heath had recently lost 100 pounds, and while she was proud of the weight loss, she had also lost weight from her behind, and she wanted to treat herself to a butt-lift in order to regain what she lost, but after the botched surgery, she said, “I almost lost my life trying to get a butt. And it was definitely not worth it.”

The botched surgery put her in the hospital for 11 days with a failing kidney and an infection, and she still has to see a nurse three times a week.

“I didn’t need a tummy tuck, I paid for a Brazilian butt lift. At the moment when everything went wrong, I felt like I was going to die. I started throwing up instantly, I start throwing up so bad it was like bursting in my stomach.”

Dr. Osakatukei Omulepu, who performed the botched surgery, has had his license partially restricted by Florida’s Department of Health after four other women came out against him with similar claims, though he is still practicing at a surgery clinic.
