Florida doctor banned from performing Brazilian butt-lifts following death at cosmetic surgery center

MIAMI — For the second time in the last five years, the death of a Brazilian butt-lift patient at Coral Gables’ Seduction Cosmetic Surgery has led to the doctor being banned from performing such procedures.

Dr. John Sampson, whose seventh illegal surgery patient died on June 16, 2021, keeps his medical license.

Sampson’s punishment from the Florida Board of Medicine was handed down Friday. Additionally, he was fined $20,000; charged $5,626 for investigation and prosecution costs; ordered to perform five hours of continuing medical education in medical records keeping; must present a one-hour lecture on liposuction and gluteal fat grafting (BBL surgeries are a form of each); and can’t be the Designated Physician at any office surgery center.
