SANTA ROSA COUNTY, Fla. (WALA/Gray News) - Plastic surgeon Dr. Benjamin Brown, 41, was arrested Monday and charged with manslaughter by culpable negligence following the death of his wife after a procedure at his clinic.
The charge is also described as second-degree felony homicide, according to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office.
Hillary Brown, 33, died a week after a procedure last November at Restore Plastic Surgery in Gulf Breeze, Florida.
Authorities said she suffered a cardiac arrest and was taken to a hospital to receive medical care, where she was later put on life support. She died Nov. 28, 2023.

After an extensive investigation in conjunction with the District One Medical Examiner’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office, detectives with the sheriff’s office requested a warrant for Brown’s arrest, the sheriff’s office said.
He is currently being held in the county jail pending an initial court appearance where a bond will be determined.

Wow, those lips are already fugged in the left picture.

Fake lips are the worst, and remind me of walleye fishing with a crawler inflator.

How is this a homicide? People die from regular procedures all the time.

Word is, that he waited 45 minutes or so to call for help...and him and one of his assistants were awfully friendly, like touchy feely friendly, and he wasn't like that with the others. It stood out back then

So he did not like his wife?

Can't say that, never saw them together and I could be wrong so who knows...but I saw him and his assistant together 10 plus times, him and his other assistants close to that many. There was a noticeable difference

Isn’t it 5 mg/kg or something like that? I don’t see any way that could be an accident in that setting.
