AN INSTAGRAM influencer and mum tragically died during a “three-in-one” plastic surgery op as she received a fat injection into her bum.
Renowned entrepreneur Natália Cavanellas Thomazella, aged 40, experienced cardiac arrest while undergoing surgery, and her passing is currently labeled as “suspicious”.
Natália experienced complications as she underwent liposuction, buttock enhancement, and breast implant revision.
Her family said she was in good health and had no pre-existing conditions before her tragic death.
And she didn’t experience any complications when she underwent a breast augmentation two years ago.
Natália went into cardiac arrest as she was receiving a fat injection into her bum.
The tragedy unfolded during the final stages of her three-in-one surgery in São Paulo, Brazil.
The police report said: “The medical team reportedly began resuscitation efforts.
“And although the patient initially responded, they were ultimately unsuccessful.”
Natália’s surgeon’s lawyers said: “Unfortunately, the patient developed a serious complication consistent with a pulmonary embolism.
“[This is] a rare, but recognised occurrence in medical literature, even when all preventive measures are taken.”
Doctors suspect the cardiac arrest may have been caused by the injected fat causing a blockage in a blood vessel.
A post-mortem examination will determine her exact cause of death.
Natália was a corporate networking specialist and the founding director of a public relations agency.
In March, she was incredibly recognised by the São Paulo City Council as one of 100 outstanding female entrepreneurs.
She boasted more than 100,000 followers on Instagram.
Natália leaves behind a daughter and a husband, who made a heartfelt tribute to her on Tuesday.
Her mourning husband expressed: “We all recognize what a remarkable person Natália was – stunning, self-reliant, exceptionally skilled, full of life, and possessing countless other admirable attributes.
“Sadly, Natália left us yesterday, but she will live on forever in our hearts and memories.
What are the risks of cosmetic surgery?
A number of medical complications can arise from cosmetic surgery, including:
- Complications related to anesthesia, including pneumonia, blood clots and rarely, death
- Infection where the cuts during surgery, called incisions, were made
- Fluid buildup under the skin
- Mild bleeding
- Heavy bleeding – which may require a blood suffusion from a donor
- Scarring
- Separation of the surgical wound
- Loss of feeling or tingling from nerve damage
“We were married for several years, and from that marriage came the greatest gift of my life – our daughter, Manoella.
“Manoella is so much like Nat, even in her personality.
“She’s very outgoing, just like her mum – I think she takes after her in every way, and today I see what a blessing that is.”
He continued: “I will constantly remind Manoella what a phenomenal person her mother was – someone who was admired and adored by all – and I will ensure that her legacy endures forever.”
