On Oct. 20, 2021, 26-year-old Jaynisha Williams, a mother of two, walked into a cosmetic surgery clinic called Best U Now in Plantation, Florida. Williams, who was known as "Jayla" among friends, had two procedures scheduled: a breast augmentation and a Brazilian butt lift, or BBL. One of many patients who went through plastic surgery at the Best U Now medical facility that day, Williams tragically died on the operating table, according to news reports. The Broward County's Office of the Medical Examiner in Florida later found "the BBL procedure was completed, but she (Williams) never awoke from the anesthesia."
Sources estimate as many as 25 BBL deaths occurred in south Florida between 2010 and 2022 alone.
