Boston "Condo Liposuction" Death Part II

Posted by admin in plastic surgery news on November 14, 2011

The Brazilian who performed liposuction in the basement of a Condo in Massachusetts and his associates have been changed with manslaughter. It turns out that the surgeon was licensed to practice medicine in Brazil, but was not a plastic surgeon even in his home country.

The District Attorney said:
“People think this is an extension of getting my nails done, getting my hair done. We stress that there should be a lesson learned from the death of this young woman.”

Liposuction is safe when performed properly in the right facility by trained surgeons. This isn’t a hairdo.

Boston "Condo Liposuction" Death Part III

Posted by admin in plastic surgery news on September 2, 2010

It turns out the Brazilian doctor who performed this liposuction case in a condo in Boston had a booming business in the local Brazilian community.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — Fabiola DePaula’s quest for beauty took her to a condominium basement, where authorities say she paid an unlicensed doctor $3,300 for a nose job and liposuction performed on a massage table. But something went terribly wrong and the 24-year-old nanny died, exposing what investigators say was an underground cosmetic-surgery network used by immigrants from Brazil — a country whose women are world-famous for their beauty and their willingness to go under the knife to achieve it.

To state the obvious, liposuction is not recommended as a home based activity.
