A plastic surgeon, Dr. Rex Dafiewhare, on Tuesday in Abuja, warned that complications arising from the process of buttock and breast enlargement, might lead to the death of the patient.

Dafiewhare, an Abuja-based plastic surgeon, who gave this warning in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), described the process as the transferring of fats from one part of the body to another.

According to him, the procedure is done under general anaesthesia, which can result to complications arising from general anaesthesia itself just like in any other surgery.

"The complications, which has nothing to do with the procedure itself are caused by reactions to drugs used and inadequate oxygen.

"Blood clots may form in the legs especially in overweight people due to long surgery time. If they get dislodged into circulation that may cause severe breathing problems, otherwise called pulmonary embolism or even death," Dafiewhare said.

The surgeon, however, noted improved self-esteem and more desirable look as the cosmetic benefits of such enlargement.
