A Brazilian influencer has died after suffering four cardiac arrests during a liposuction procedure.
Luana Andrade, 29, died a day after the procedure on her knee, which was performed by a private doctor and anesthetist hired by her family in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Dr. Diovane Ruaro, a plastic surgeon and president of the Brazilian College of Plastic Surgery told local media that Andrade had appeared to be in good health before the surgery.
The model and fashion designer’s cause of death has been listed as a pulmonary embolism after complications during the surgery.
São Luiz Hospital said: ‘The surgery was interrupted and the patient underwent tests that revealed massive thrombosis.
‘She was transferred to the ICU where she underwent medication and hemodynamic treatment.’
