Young mother made terrible mistake after gory plastic surgery procedure that ended up KILLING her
A young mom passed away hours after a Brazilian Butt Lift cosmetic operation after mixing illegal street drugs with her prescriptions. Ahmonique Miller, 28, and her sister, 19-year-old Kiera Barnes, traveled to Miami from Las Vegas to get a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and liposuction at Avana Plastic Surgery in March, as reported by NBC 6 News. However, Ahmonique, the mother of a one-year-old daughter, died just hours later at an unlicensed post-surgical recovery facility operating under the name Keyla's Recovery House. The medical examiner has attributed Miller's death to acute combined drug toxicity - particularly a mix of prescription painkiller oxycodone and unregulated drug bromazolam, according to documents obtained by NBC. According to the medical examiner's report, bromozolam is a 'potent designed drug, commonly found in counterfeit pills or powders'. 'My daughter's supposed to be here with her daughter and unfortunately, she's not,' Wakeelah Miller, Ahmonique's mother, told NBC 6 News. 'I have to remind myself every day that this is real,' she added. 'She's not calling, she's not going to send a text and... Ahmonique is not coming back.' In March, an excited Ahmonique documented her journey from Nevada to Florida on social media to undergo cosmetic surgery alongside her sister. 'Come to Pre Op with me,' she said in one of the videos she posted before surgery. 'I'm super excited... The office staff is super nice, they made me feel super comfortable.. and I know this is gonna be the best. I can't wait to see my results,' Ahmonique added. The surgery on March 6 reportedly went well, and they were discharged to a recovery home to be monitored for complications. Her mother Wakeelah previously told NBC 6 that the sisters each paid $1,500 for a six-night stay at Kayla's Recovery House, which they discovered through social media. But tragedy was to follow, with Ahmonique's social media falling completely quiet after the procedure, which sees fat injected into the buttocks and is notoriously dangerous. The day after the surgery, authorities responded to the home and found Ahmonique dead, showing signs of rigor mortis - an indication she had been dead for hours. Officials said her body was heavily damaged and face down on a bed. Police said the house was 'operating as an illegal post-plastic surgery recovery home'. The grieving mother initially told the outlet that her surviving daughter claimed Ahmonique had been given 'a muscle relaxer and possibly multiple Percocets'. The day after the surgery, authorities responded to the home and found Ahmonique dead, showing signs of rigor mortis - an indication she had been dead for hours. Officials said her body was heavily damaged and face down on a bed (pictured: illegal recovery house) Her sister, Kiera, also told police that Ahmonique was given medication before she went to sleep - but never woke up. Kiera said that both sisters were initially scheduled to be operated on by the same surgeon, but beforehand, Ahmonique reportedly switched to a different surgeon. Now, according to the medical examiner's report obtained by NBC 6, the sudden death of the 28-year-old mother was caused by the combination of of oxycodone and bromazolam. The report states that 'the use of these drugs in the hours following Ahmonique's procedure are responsible for the fatal outcome', adding that no evidence of surgical complications were found. 'From what Kiera is saying that a muscle relaxer was given and possibly multiple Percocet's and muscle relaxers,' Wakeelah told the outlet. Keyla Oliver, the owner of the illegal recovery house, reportedly told investigators that she gave Ahmonique two percocets, despite not being licensed to practice medicine, according to NBC 6. Ahmonique's sister also told investigators that Oliver gave her an unspecified number of muscle relaxers along with two percocets from an 'unlabeled pill bottle' because Ahmonique's 'medication was not ready'. 'As far as we know, her actual prescription was never picked up from the pharmacy,' Wakeelah told NBC. An online petition has since been launched, calling for new legislation to regulate unlicensed recovery homes operating out of South Florida. 'Unlicensed recovery homes operate without oversight, lacking the necessary credentials and safety protocols to ensure a safe recovery environment,' the petition reads. 'Miami's appeal as a destination for cosmetic and other surgical procedures is undeniable. The city must also be a place where patient safety is prioritized and enforced.' 'Legislation mandating stringent licensing requirements for recovery homes will not only save lives but also elevate Miami's status as a safe medical destination,' it added.

An Illegal BBL Operation in Miami Led to This Tragic Result For a Las Vegas Mother, But Now How You Think
All you BBL hopefuls are probably looking for somewhere to recover in comfort instead of withstanding the painful ride home right after you get off the table. Well, a horrifying incident that claimed the life of a Las Vegas mother should serve as a warning to be careful of the facility you recover in. Ahmonique Miller, 28, and her sister Kiera Barnes, 19, traveled from Las Vegas to Miami for cosmetic procedures at Avana Plastic Surgery Clinic earlier this month on March 7. The two documented their trip on social media, sharing their plans to recover together at Keyla's Recovery House, a home marketed as a post-surgery facility owned by Keyla Oliver. Their mother, Wakeelah, told NBC6 South Florida the pair spent $1,500 each to stay at the facility, which is located on SW 4th Street. However, just hours after the women were finished with their procedures and settled into the post-surgery facility, Ahmonique's recovery process went terribly wrong. In a video, Kiera gave the horrifying details of what happened while also debunking claims that her sister's death was due to the surgical procedure. 'My sister was very healthy. She was never denied surgery. She was given medicine that was not prescribed to her, Percocets,' Kiera said in the video, adding that Keyla never picked up her sister's prescribed medication from the pharmacy. 'I just remember my sister going to sleep and my sister never woke up.' Miami-Dade police say they responded to the recovery home where they found Ahmonique already deceased. Authorities said she showed signs of rigor mortis, suggesting she'd been dead hours prior to their arrival. Police said she was lying face down on a bed with heavy bandaging. It's unclear how much time passed between Ahmonique's death and the police being called. Her sister was moved to another center following the discovery. 'At first, the response was, she's fine, nothing is wrong,' said family attorney Jahra McLawrence via NBC. 'But once they realized that she had passed away, then it wasn't that they treated it like an emergency, but panic started to set in.' Ahmonique's cause and manner of death are still being investigated by the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner. However, police have launched an investigation into the recovery house, which they described as 'operating as an illegal post-plastic surgery recovery home.' The Miami Herald reports that the owner has no medical professional license listed in the Florida Department of Health. The report says this is only the latest of a string of pop up recovery facilities targeting women who travel to South Florida for cosmetic surgeries. The woman's mother told NBC6 she wants her daughter's death to become a warning to trigger policies to prevent this from happening to someone else's daughter. Ahmonique leaves behind a 1-year-old daughter. For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
