“Perfection” starts the name of a Sunny Isles Beach plastic surgery center that fell short enough of its name in patient safety violations to get its license suspended for 30 days.
From a suite in the high rise at 16690 Collins Ave., Perfection Plastic Surgery & Med Spa sells Brazilian butt lifts (BBL), breast jobs, mommy makeovers and penis augmentation. But, Perfection got put on hiatus until July 12 for lacking the drugs an office surgery center should have, inadequate BBL patient exams among other violations.
Management refused comment when a Miami Herald reporter dropped by the office. State corporate records say Perfection’s run by president Iris Kogan and Angela Kogan is its registered agent.
Perfection bills itself on its Instagram page as the “#1 Celebrity Plastic Surgery Facility,” but perhaps its most notable interaction with a celebrity was a lawsuit filed by Curtis J. Jackson III aka 50 Cent. The rapper accused Angela Kogan of using a photo taken with him to promote Perfection, which offers penis enhancement. The two sides reached a sealed settlement.
Perfection inspection problems Perfection received office surgery registration license OSR1709 on Sept. 19, 2022 and received a Florida Department of Health inspection visit on Dec. 6, 2022. An administrative complaint was filed Aug. 16, 2024 listing the major problems found.
The crash cart, the cart with the medical emergency equipment, lacked required drugs: Atropine 3 mg, used for dangerously slowing heart rate, according to the University of North Carolina; Epinephrine 1mg in 10ml, which treats increased heart rate and possibly fatal allergic reactions; Dextrose 50%; 50 ml, which treats hypoglycemia, a dangerous drop in glucose. ▪ Perfection didn’t have benzodiazepine, which the Cleveland Clinic defines as “medications that make your nervous system less active.”
▪ Perfection’s risk management program, “on one or more occasions…was noncompliant” or, at the time of inspection, nonexistent.
▪ Before a surgery, surgeons should, in writing, let the patient know of a hospital where the surgeon can perform the same surgery about to be done at Perfection or the hospital where the surgeon or Perfection has a transfer agreement. Perfection’s surgeons — which aren’t listed on the website, unlike most other surgery centers — didn’t do the above, at least once. The Florida Department of Health returned in August 2023 for another inspection in which the violations were detailed in a December 2024 administrative complaint.
▪ The crash cart still didn’t have the Atropine and Dextrose, but now also was bereft of Magnesium sulfate 2 grams, also called “epsom salts” which treats a variety of seizures and heart rate abnormalities; and Lidocaine, 100 mg, which treats “life-threatening arrhythmias,” North Carolina said.
▪ At least one, possibly more, surgeons doing BBLs “failed to conduct an in-person examination of a patient no later than the day before the patient’s procedure.”
