Jennifer Pamplona, a Brazilian influencer who has spent over $1 million on cosmetic surgeries to resemble Kim Kardashian, is now issuing a stark warning about the dangers of cosmetic procedures, particularly butt fillers. Her journey, which started at just 17 years old, has led to serious health complications, including infertility.
Pamplona, who openly refers to herself as a “surgery addict,” revealed that her use of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) in butt lift fillers has had devastating consequences. PMMA, a material commonly used in cosmetic procedures, can migrate from the injection site to other areas of the body. In Pamplona’s case, it allegedly spread to her reproductive organs, leading to fertility issues.

While her infertility cannot be directly linked to PMMA, her complications are believed to be associated with either an improper application or an adverse reaction to the substance. A decade ago, during a bioplasty procedure, Pamplona experienced an adverse reaction when PMMA spread from her buttocks to her pelvic region. “I always dreamed of being a mother. Unfortunately, I now find myself unable to fulfill this dream due to the complications caused by PMMA,” Pamplona shared in an interview with Need To Know.
Dr. Carlos Rios, Pamplona’s surgeon, emphasized the severity of the situation, describing it as a “matter of life or death.” He stated, “The symptoms she exhibited were a direct consequence of this procedure. She was hanging by a thread. The suffering is immense, and the pain of not being able to create life is something I never imagined facing.”
Despite the grim situation, Pamplona’s health has been improving thanks to a holistic approach. Her treatment includes meditation, a balanced diet, targeted supplementation, and medication. This comprehensive plan has helped her regain some stability, though she continues to deal with the long-term effects of her surgeries.
Pamplona’s obsession with altering her appearance began at 17, and since then, she has undergone more than 30 procedures on her body and face. However, after being diagnosed with body dysmorphia in 2022, she decided to stop pursuing further surgeries. While she may consider one final reconstructive surgery to address lingering issues, Pamplona is focused on healing from the adverse effects of her past procedures.
Reflecting on her experiences, Jennifer Pamplona advocates for the importance of emotional health. “I like to say that if everyone paid attention to their emotional health, procedures would be less frequent,” she remarked, urging others to prioritize their mental and emotional well-being over cosmetic alterations.
