A 51-year-old woman has tragically died following an eight-hour cosmetic surgery that involved six different procedures. The woman, who had saved approximately $118,000 Brazilian Real for the operation, passed away in the days after the surgery on August 12. Her sister has come forward to state that the deceased did not have a pre-procedure consultation in Brazil and that her pre-operative tests were conducted in Spain.
Following the procedure, the woman's tongue began to swell severely. Her sister claims that attempts to reach the medical team were met with delayed responses and inadequate care, leading to her sister's death in her arms after resuscitation efforts. The sister also alleged that the hospital lacked an ICU and an emergency ambulance.
A representative for the hospital stated that the patient received immediate emergency care and that all necessary measures were taken. The doctor involved has declined to comment on clinical details due to medical confidentiality, expressing confidence that the investigation will affirm the appropriateness of the treatment provided.
