In Venezuela, women left 'mutilated' by butt lifts
Maria Sanchez, a woman in Venezuela, underwent a backside-enhancing procedure involving biopolymers but was left with scars and painful complications. Biopolymers are synthetic fillers that were banned in Venezuela in 2012 due to their toxicity.
The presence of biopolymers triggers the immune system, causing chronic pain, swelling, and fever. Surgical removal of the biopolymers is possible but cannot fully eliminate them. Many people in Venezuela are seeking to have biopolymers removed from their bodies.
