A Florida woman has been accused of running an unlicensed post-op recovery home for those who have received cosmetic surgery, multiple outlets reported.
Daaiyah Alneesha Roundtree, 43, was arrested Tuesday after the Miami-Dade Police Department searched her home in South Miami, according to Local 10.
There were seven post-operative patients and one person awaiting a procedure at the house, according to a report obtained by NBC 6. The patients told police they received help with personal hygiene care, eating and medication at $250-$350 per night.
Local 10 reported the home catered to patients receiving cosmetic surgery.
Roundtree faces the felony charges of operating an assisted living facility without a license, Florida litter law and hazardous waste violations, as well as two related misdemeanors, court records show. Her arraignment is scheduled for May 9. Her attorney information was not immediately available.

Cosmetic surgery's impact on medical tourism
Roundtree is not the only one in recent months to receive criminal charges for allegedly running an illegal post-op recovery center in Miami. Two women were charged in October 2023 in an operation known as "Yeni's House."
Cosmetic surgeries have seen an uptick in recent years and more specifically there appears to be a growing number of people who are traveling to get these procedures.
Traveling after a major surgery can be risky, as sitting for a long time or flying can increase risk of blood-clots. UCLA Health encourages plastic surgery patients to have a caretaker for the first few days after the procedure.
As the Miami Herald reported, a service for this is not widely available, so people coming to Miami from out of town for these elective surgeries must find post-surgery recovery arrangements until their wounds heal.
Florida law does not license for this specific service, the Herald reported, but there is a statute that defines assisted living facility as a facility that provides personal services for more than 24 hours to one more adults who are not adults of the owner of the facility.
