I am very concerned with this risk. The surgeon who did my breast aug ( my sx came out to b excellent) he killed someone bc he punctures the girls aorta during surgery in April 2011, I am scheduled for a butt lift August 2013 and bc I am so paranoid about this happening to me I'm refusing to get my stomach liposuctioned for the butt lift. How often does this happen the videos on YouTube scare me bc of how fast they poke around, I am going with dr Moises salama btw has he ever done that?
