Viviane Lira Monte spent 22 days in intensive care before she passed away
Brazilian police are investigating a plastic surgeon whose 24-year-old patient died after she went through six procedures in an eight-hour session of surgery.
Viviane Lira Monte went under the knife on 31 August for a number of surgical procedures, including liposuction, a breast reduction and having the fat that had been extracted pumped back into her backside.
However, she developed a massive infection in her abdomen and spent 22 days in intensive care before dying of heart failure on 26 September.
The 24-year-old had found the plastic surgeon online in the city of Sobral, which is located in the Brazilian state of Ceara, and went in for six cosmetic surgeries in a day.
Police have told local media they’re now investigating her death as ‘suspicious’, while her family said she’d been allowed to leave just 15 hours after her eight-hour surgery session and very quickly started suffering from complications.

Suffering from serious pain, her family took Viviane to an emergency care unit where she was very quickly rushed to hospital and placed in intensive care.
Doctors were able to treat a pulmonary embolism, a life threatening blockage of an artery in the lung, but a massive infection in her abdomen couldn’t be stopped and she died from heart failure.
Her husband Renan Santiago said: “She vomited blood, recovered, but she was never stable.
