Dr. Eduardo Teixeira, of the Brazilian College of Plastic Surgery, told Brazilian news outlet Metropoles that the procedure Andrade had was ‘like any other.’
‘There is no risk-free surgery, nor any medical procedure that does not involve some type of risk, especially when it is a surgical procedure,’ Teixeira explained. ‘This necessarily involves an invasive technique that requires anesthesia, whether local or general.’
Dr. Diovane Ruaro, a plastic surgeon and president of the College of Plastic Surgery, told the outlet that Andrade appeared to in good health.
‘An adequate pre-operative procedure was carried out, however, unfortunately, this fatality occurred, which saddens us,’ Ruaro said. ‘In fact, plastic surgeries, including liposuction, can have uneventful and, occasionally, fatal complications.’
