A popular social media influencer has died following complications from a buttock
augmentation surgery, (BBL) in Brazil
The incident has sparked concerns over the safety of such procedures in unlicensed clinics.
Aline Ferreira, 33, with over 40,000 social media followers, underwent the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) at the unlicensed Ame-se clinic in Goidnia on June 23.
According to preliminary reports, Ferreira fell into a coma and suffered cardiac arrests last Friday and Sunday, ultimately passing away on Tuesday.
Her husband reported that she initially seemed to recover well and returned home to Brasilia the same day.
However, her condition deteriorated the next day with a fever, followed by abdominal pain and fainting. She was subsequently hospitalized at Asa Norte Regional Hospital before being transferred to a private facility in Asa Sul.
She returned to their home in Brasilia the day of the operation and was doing well.
However, her medical condition began to worsen the next day when she had a fever†he
said.
Ferreira’s family claims that the clinic owner, Grazielly da Silva, injected 30 ml of
polymethylmethacrylate into each buttock.
Da Silva, who was arrested Tuesday, denies
these allegations, stating she only used a biostimulator and suggesting that the
infection could have been due to the influencer’s home environment.
Brazilâs National Health Surveillance Agency advises that polymethyl methacrylate
should be reserved for treating serious conditions like polio, where body deformities
occur.
The Goias Civil Police have shut down Da Silva clinic for lacking proper health
licensing and registration.
Ferreira is a mother of two, she was known for her fashion and travel content on social
media.
Her death has prompted renewed scrutiny of cosmetic procedures performed in unauthorized facilities, especially as it concerns BBL
