Not directly but prostitution is a major theme and they show pimps including brands on the girls, could be super triggering for trafficking survivors if not warned

Maybe a borderline situation? When the prostitutes start using the super crack they are also all over Jeffrey who doesn't entirely seem to be into it. This is portrayed humorously.

The stitches holding a character's neck together split open from the front, causing her head to dangle behind her with some gore. Later a character is also fully decapitated by a machete.

If smoking crack that makes you explode counts then sure, but generally I'd say no.

Needle is seen being used to sew body parts together. No medical needles are used, but Jeffrey using a drill on his brain multiple times could maybe squick out someone with a fear of injection.

To counter the other comment a bit, there is definitely emphasis put on Elizabeth's weight issues at the beginning of the film. I think the dieting and her being "fat" is discussed enough to count.

A man has his body replaced with a female body and this apparently causes him great discomfort.

No slurs but there is homophobia. Two female characters are shown kissing and another one shouts at them to stop saying "that's not natural!"
