Confusion and Frustration in Recovery: Woman Wakes Up from Surgery Believing She Underwent Brazilian Butt Lift Instead of Tonsillectomy.
A recent viral clip on TikTok has left users in stitches after a woman, Ashley, wakes up from surgery to discover she had not received the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) she was expecting. The 20-second video shows Ashley, still under the effects of anesthesia, crying uncontrollably and insisting that she wanted a BBL, despite being in the recovery room for a tonsillectomy.
The clip has garnered over three million views, with users weighing in on their reactions to the situation, ranging from amusement to frustration. One user joked that the ENT doctor should receive a one-star review on Yelp, while another suggested that they could have taken her tonsils and done her BBL.
The Brazilian butt lift is a procedure that involves removing fat from other parts of the body through liposuction and injecting it into the buttocks for a fuller appearance. It requires general anesthesia and a multi-week recovery involving compression garments, limited mobility, and follow-up monitoring.
While the viral clip has raised some eyebrows, confusion in the aftermath of surgery – even regarding entirely unrelated procedures – is not uncommon. According to a report from Verywell Health, confusion is a normal part of anesthesia recovery for many patients, with disorientation, memory lapses, and emotional outbursts being common symptoms.
It's worth noting that BBLs require strict screening, with candidates needing to be physically healthy, have sufficient fat deposits for transfer, and realistic expectations about results. The Cleveland Clinic emphasizes that while the procedure can enhance confidence, it also comes with risks and complications.
The clip has sparked a conversation about the importance of clear communication between patients and medical professionals, particularly in high-stakes situations like surgery. As one user quipped, "What a waste of anesthesia."

i can imagine how freaking out u must be after waking up from surgery thinking u got a whole different procedure done lol idk about that ENT doc tho, maybe they should just give u a refund and a new set of implants on the house 
. And honestly who hasn't been there where they're like "wait what just happened" after waking up from anesthesia 
?
. I mean, I get it, Ashley's super confused and upset about what went down during her surgery, but crying uncontrollably in the recovery room? That's not really a great look 
. I get that Ashley thought she got a BBL and now she's freaking out about the tonsillectomy, but maybe they could've taken the time to explain it all to her again before she woke up? 
.
And yeah, it is funny when people react to it online... but let's not be too harsh, right? 
The doc probably did everything they could, and Ashley's still getting over surgery. Like, what if she really thought that was what she wanted? 
We don't know the full story. And it's not like she expected them to do her BBL on top of her tonsillectomy! 
Ashley's reaction is just wild! Can you even imagine wakin' up from surgery and thinkin' you got a whole different procedure done? 
I feel bad for her, tho. I would've been so confused too, and the last thing she needs right now is stress about her recovery. 
i mean i know she was under anesthesia but that's wild! i've had my fair share of awkward moments with medication too 
. It's not the end of the world if they wake up thinking it was BBL instead of tonsillectomy... Ashley seems genuinely confused 
. Maybe she should've asked more questions before the procedure? 
what's wrong with these surgeons?!?! they cant even make sure their patients are getting the right procedure?!?! i mean i know recovery can be fuzzy but come on! at least have some basic communication going on 
. and honestly, can you blame her for getting upset and wanting a BBL when that's what she was expecting? 
. On the bright side, at least she made everyone laugh with that clip
