Hour Plastic Surgery Procedure
Key Points:
- A 51-year-old Brazilian woman, Andreia Vieira Gaspar, died hours after undergoing an eight-hour plastic surgery procedure involving six facial and neck enhancements costing around $23,000.
- The surgeries included a deep-plane facelift, eyelid lift, forehead lift, neck liposuction, chin reshaping, and nanofat injections to improve skin texture.
- Gaspar's health rapidly declined post-surgery, with severe tongue swelling causing breathing difficulties; her family claimed the hospital lacked an intensive care unit and ambulance.
- The official cause of death was acute thrombosis and pulmonary infarction, and authorities have launched a police investigation into possible involuntary manslaughter.
- The surgeon and hospital maintain that appropriate care and emergency treatment were provided promptly, while the hospital noted Gaspar’s pre-surgery evaluation was conducted externally.
