A woman died from complications after undergoing six plastic surgeries at a medical facility in the northeastern Brazilian city of Sobral.
Viviane Monte, 24, has surgery on August 31 and spent 20 days in the intensive care unit at before she passed away last Thursday, one day before her birthday.
Her boyfriend of six years, Renan Santiago, told Brazilian news outlet G1 that she paid approximately $7,300 for a breast reduction, buttock fat grafting, and liposuctions on her stomach, arms, back and neck.
Santiago said that Monte for a long time had envisioned undergoing breast reduction and as of late wanted to have fat removed from her abdomen because she believed she had put on extra weight.
Viviane Monte underwent six plastic surgeries on August 31 and was discharged the following the day before she fell ill September 2 and died Thursday after spending 20 days hospitalized, her boyfriend told Brazilian news outlet G1. The businesswoman was only 24
Renan Santiago, pictured with his girlfriend Viviane Monte, said she researched a surgeon who agreed to do a breast reduction and liposuction on her stomach. He added that doctor convinced her to have four additional surgeries - buttock fat grafting and liposuctions on her arms, back and neck
He explained that Monte found a doctor who agreed to do both surgeries and persuaded her to undergo the other four surgeries, including the neck liposuction, which he agreed to do free of charge.
Before the surgery, Monte was placed on a weight-loss program and underwent additional testings to show that she was a candidate for all of the surgeries.
Santiago said Monte was discharged the day after she had her procedures and began to experience discomfort on September 2 when she was unable to urinate.
Viviane Monte died last Thursday from complications of undergoing six plastic surgeries at the same time at a hospital in Sobral, a city in the northeastern Brazil state of Ceará
The family of Viviane Monte alleges that the 24-year-old's surgeon is responsible for her death. She had six plastic surgeries at a medical facility in Sobral, Brazil on August 31 and fell very ill two days later, going into cardiac arrest upon arriving at an emergency center unit. He conditioned worsened and she died last Thursday from the postoperative complications
The surgeon, whose name was not shared by Monte's family, advised her to visit the nearest emergency care center, where her went into cardiac arrest and was revived.
Monte's condition worsened as the days passed and developed a bacterial and fungal infection and was given two bags of blood. In addition, her breasts opened up and she had discharge both arms.
Santiago accused the doctor of malpractice 'because he didn't provide assistance ... he didn't advise her to have fewer procedures.'
He said the surgeon was well aware 'about the risk and he simply didn't warn her.'
'She had no idea,' Santiago added. 'She only had a dream of having the surgery. And she went on to live her dream.'
The Ceará State Department of Public Safety is investigating Monte's death.
