Botched Liposuction on TikTok

Jo Piazza
About this episode

Back in July, an Ohio plastic surgeon lost her medical license after the state medical board investigated her for live streaming operations on TikTok and causing harm to patients in the process. TikTok fans may know this doctor by the name Dr. Roxy. She gained millions of views and followers over the past few years by live streaming plastic surgeries from her office. Surgeries like liposuctions, implants, and butt lifts.

You can read Judith Newman's piece on Dr. Roxy on The Cut here.
