The Lagos State Government has advised residents seeking cosmetic or aesthetic procedures to exercise caution and ensure such services are obtained only from accredited health facilities and qualified medical practitioners.
The advisory comes as the Health Facilities Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA) continues its investigation into the reported death of a Lagos socialite following a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure at a clinic in the state.
Authorities urged the public to conduct due diligence before undergoing cosmetic treatments by confirming that medical facilities are properly licensed and that practitioners possess the necessary training and competence to perform such procedures safely.
The government reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding public health through strengthened regulatory oversight, continuous monitoring of healthcare facilities, and strict enforcement of medical standards across the state.
