The banker Lilian Calixto, 46, died last Sunday (15) after complications in surgery operated by Denis Cesar Barros Furtado, 45, known in social networks under the name of Dr. Bumbum.
The suspect is that she had suffered from pulmonary embolism due to the application of PMMA substance (polymethylmethacrylate) for aesthetic filling.
It is not nowadays, however, that PMMA carries a bad name. The SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery) does not recommend the use of the product for cosmetic purposes.
The CFM (Federal Medical Council) and the SBCP have already demonstrated in 2006 on the subject, condemning its blind use. In 2007, after long discussions, Anvisa banned the handling of the substance in pharmacies.
"There are several biocompatible and safe products, like hyaluronic acid, which is part of the body.PMMA is cheap, definitive and carries a lot of risk, but people are deceived by the dream, the lie , fantasy, "says Níveo Steffen, president of SBCP
The material is permanent, that is to say that it is not absorbed by the body, and can cause deformations , inflammation, necrosis and even death. "Imagine if you put this substance in bulk in a tissue like gluteal region. You get up, sit, walk, move, and the body reacts to that as a foreign body, triggering an inflammatory reaction. "
The product is approved by Anvisa (National Agency for Health Surveillance), but indicated in small amounts as a remedy for lipodystrophy, ie the redistribution of fats that can cause changes in the face of People with HIV / AIDS According to Steffen, the application helps to correct these deformities and reduce stigma.
"After this spread, we perceive a misrepresentation in the use of the product and a series problems in the most varied parts of the body in large quantities, especially for the volume in the bad. "
In the 2017 SBCP census, the entity included for the first time data on the sequelae of PMMA implants due to the increase in the number of such cases." A study by the Society Brazilian Plastic Surgery – São Paulo Region (SBCP-SP) showed that there were more than 17,000 cases of complications caused by PMMA
PMMA between 2016 and 2017. For most surgeons artists, the product should be banned from the internal market.
