The CDC has issued a report warning against seeking cosmetic surgery procedures in the Dominican Republic due to an increase in deaths associated with complications. The report found that 93 Americans have died after undergoing cosmetic surgery in the Dominican Republic since 2009, with recent deaths involving procedures such as the Brazilian butt lift. Health experts have also issued a warning over travel to the Dominican Republic for cheap plastic surgery after the deaths of nearly 100 Americans who had undergone cut-price procedures like liposuction and tummy tucks. The warnings come in the wake of a case where a British woman, 20, died of a perforated small intestine following a weight loss surgery in Turkey, with the surgeon insisting he did nothing wrong. Plastic surgery deaths among Americans who received operations in Caribbean nations have tripled, according to the CDC.
