Woman, 24, dies after undergoing SIX different cosmetic surgeries in just eight hours in marathon op
A BUSINESSWOMAN has tragically died after undergoing six different cosmetic surgeries at once in a horror eight-hour operation.
Viviane Lira Monte, 24, had signed up for the range of different treatments through a surgeon she found online with police now investigating her death as “suspicious”.
Viviane underwent the mammoth operation procedure on August 31 in Sobral, in the state of Ceara, Brazil.
The first part of the session saw her go under the knife for breast reduction surgery and liposuction to her tummy, arms, back and chin.
Afterwards the surgeon took the fat from her liposuction and put it back into her bottom for a lip graft.
She was allowed to leave the operating theatre and return home just 15 hours after the marathon op as her health quickly started to deteriorate.
Viviane’s family say she was left in agonising pain as they rushed her to a local hospital.
Doctors noticed her blood pressure collapsing and immediately transferred her to another hospital where she was placed into intensive care.
She tragically died on September 26 after 22 days in the ICU from a massive infection in her abdomen which led to heart failure.
Her death is now being investigated as “suspicious” by Civil Police at the Municipal Police Station in Sobral, reports local media.
We saw her die little by little. It was 22 days of suffering without good news
Renan Santiago
Her heartbroken husband Renan Santiago told reporters in Brazil: “She vomited blood, recovered, but she was never stable.
“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.”
Santiago now blames the surgeon for the fatal complications saying they lured Viviane into getting more surgeries than she originally wanted.
He claims she was offered a discount by the online doctor if she booked in more surgeries.
He told Brazilian media: “She went to the surgeon just to do mammoplasty and lipo on her belly.
“But he persuaded her to do other things, saying she needed to do lipo on her arms and back as well.
“When he returned from the consultation, she said he would do more things because the doctor had made a better price and ensured that everything would work out.”
He saw that she was bad but went to Rio de Janeiro. He abandoned her and did not give her support

Santiago also alleges that the surgeon, who was being paid £42,000 in cash, disappeared once Viviane started to suffer issues.
The distraught husband said: “He saw that she was bad but went to Rio de Janeiro. He abandoned her and did not give her support.
“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.
“The family feels it’s an injustice that he abandoned her to go travelling while she was in that situation.”
The cosmetic surgeon visited the ICU just hours before Viviane’s death, according to Santiago.
The surgeon declined to comment when local media asked him about Viviane’s death.
