Asked By:shirleyvg in Carmel, IN

Hello, Can death be caused due to too much fat injected in breast at once? There was a young healthy girl that died on the operating table in Miami Florida undergoing a Brazilian butt lift with a borad certified surgeon. She died from a pulmonary embolism. What could cause a patient to get a pulmonary embolism during surgery?
