“There was a lot of inflammation and infection because of the surgery. She couldn’t breathe, but they still managed to reanimate her, and they got her intubated, but she just couldn’t make it back.
“We saw her die little by little. It was 22 days of suffering without good news.
“Every day, she talked to us with a very weak voice and difficulty breathing. She knew she was dying.”

Her husband has claimed that the cosmetic surgeon who carried out six procedures on Viviane is to blame.
Santiago accused the surgeon of offering his wife a discount if she went in for more procedures, and then insisted on being paid a £42,000 fee in cash.
The widower also alleges that the surgeon said that Viviane being ‘very weak’ was ‘normal’ after the six cosmetic surgeries and his since left town.
“He saw that she was bad but went to Rio de Janeiro. He abandoned her and did not give her support,” Santiago said.
“When I contacted him and said she was serious in the ICU, he said that she was going to be fine, that it was only a matter of time, that it would work out and calmed me down.”
He said that the surgeon only visited her in the ICU a few hours before she died, and her family said it was ‘an injustice that he abandoned her to go travelling‘ when she was unwell.
Local media reached out to the plastic surgeon, but he declined to comment.
