Every month, we strive to bring you a balanced mix of breaking news (for example, what Nicki Minaj is saying about her recent breast reduction surgery<\/a>) and advice you can always use, like what you need to know before dissolving filler<\/a>. Invariably though, there’s an intriguing headline or viral post that doesn’t make its own stand-alone story yet is still worthy of a share.<\/p>

Which brings us here, to the latest installment of This Month in Aesthetics<\/a>, an ICYMI recap of industry-molding moments that we’d be remiss not to acknowledge—from a breast implant company suddenly shutting down to the Sex and the City <\/em>stars getting candid about cosmetic procedures.<\/p>

Reality star Ms. Jacky Oh! dies after plastic surgery<\/h2>

Former Wild ’N Out <\/em>star Ms. Jacky Oh! (née Jaclyn Smith) died at the age of 32 after reportedly going in for a mommy makeover<\/a> procedure. While the exact cause of death has yet to be confirmed, speculation is running rampant that it was a case of botched plastic surgery. A since-deleted social media post<\/a> showed the mother of three posing with Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Zachary Okhah; she had allegedly traveled to Miami to undergo a mommy makeover and was found unresponsive in a hotel room after the surgery. <\/p>

Dr. Okhah—indirectly—addressed the situation via an Instagram post<\/a> weeks later: “To all my past, current and prospective patients, PH-1 Miami remains devoted to the highest quality medical care. All aesthetic procedures are performed in a hygienically safe environment to universally recognized medical standards. I am relentlessly committed to advancing techniques in the realm of plastic surgery. Most importantly, my staff and I ensure that each patient is vetted, prepped, and treated according to their individual patient history prior to any surgery. Our mission is to help our patients achieve the best possible results in the safest and most medically appropriate way possible.”<\/p>

Ideal Implant suddenly ceases operations<\/h2>

Ideal Implant, a small breast implant manufacturing company that makes one type of saline implant, shut down all operations<\/a> without notice on May 30, citing a lack of financial viability. As Dr. Kelly Killeen<\/a>, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, California, explained in an Instagram video<\/a>, this poses an issue for both doctors and patients. The company will not be honoring any returns of unused implants, nor will it honor warranties for patients who currently have the implants. <\/p>
