the "Doctor Popotin" on the run after the death of a patient

Denis Furtado, known as "Doctor Popotin", is 46 years old and has been performing surgical operations for fifteen years in the cities of Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia. Since Tuesday, July 17, he is wanted by the Brazilian authorities. On Sunday, one of her patients died after her operation

Lilian Quezia Calixto was 46 years old. A bank employee, she traveled 2,000 kilometers from Cuiaba to Rio and paid 4.500 euros for surgery by Denis Furtado. The latter is particularly known on social networks where he poses with his patients. He has 650,000 subscribers on his Instagram account (now deleted) and post regularly photos before / after the operation of the bad of his patients to promote it.

And for good reason, the "Doctor Popotin" n ' has no training or specialization to be a cosmetic surgeon. According to the Brazilian news site G1, he had already been charged with unlawful practice of medicine and crimes against the consumer.

Without training, Denis Furtado therefore operates his clients at his home, most often in Rio de Janeiro, in the wealthy Barra de Tijuca district, nicknamed the "Miami Beach" of Rio. More seriously, to increase the volume of the bad of his patients, the doctor uses a controversial technique. It injects polymethylmethacrylate, better known as plexiglbad. A product that presents many risks. According to the president of the Brazilian Society of Aesthetic Surgery, he has already caused the death of dozens of women in Latin America. And he is surely the cause of the death of Lilian Quezia Calixto. Shortly after the intervention, the woman is uncomfortable and must be hospitalized in Rio de Janeiro. She will die after four cardiac arrests

Accused of homicide and criminal conspiracy, Denis Furtado was not found. His secretary and girlfriend was incarcerated. His attorney, Naira Baldanza, said that "any finding on Lilian's death and my client's eventual liability is premature."

Gluteal increases are very common in Brazil, the second country to practice the most surgery aesthetic in the world, after the United States.
