Russian Blogger Dies After Illegal Buttock Injections by Unlicensed Cosmetologist

Popular blogger Yulia Burtseva, who lived in Italy, died in Moscow after undergoing injectable buttock augmentation at a private clinic. The procedure was performed by a 26-year-old self-taught cosmetologist without medical education. According to investigators, Burtseva developed an anaphylactic shock shortly after the injections and could not be saved. The case has sparked renewed attention to the dangers of illegal cosmetic procedures and unlicensed practitioners in Russia.
