A Brazilian plastic surgeon with star status went missing after one of his patients died of a heart attack. The woman had traveled 200 miles to receive an injection from the star doctor, named "Dr. Bumbum" and is known to be able to "do wonders", especially with the buttocks. The doctor has 650,000 followers in social media.

The woman visited the plastic surgeon at his home in Rio de Janeiro and received an injection with a means of interrogation to enlarge her ass. After the procedure, the woman started to feel bad. Her blood pressure rushed and she was taken to the hospital where she died after four heart attacks. Shortly after, the plastic surgeon disappeared and he is now called by the Brazilian police, suspected of droplets.

The news shocked the country where beauty attacks are very common. After the United States, Brazil is the country in the world where most plastic surgeries are performed.

Industry representatives warn against interactions with so-called polymers and the trivialization of cosmetic interventions by non-specialists. .
