Isabel Cristina Oyama Jacinto Gonzaga, aged 59, passed away following an aesthetic procedure in a clinic located in the Setor Marista neighborhood of Goiânia. Her death was officially announced by the city council's profile on Sunday (8), prompting the municipal administration to declare a three-day official mourning period. Gonzaga's family believes that the substance polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) may have been used in the procedure involving her glutes, raising concerns about potential malpractice in cosmetic surgeries.

The investigation into the circumstances surrounding Isabel's death has been confirmed by the Goiás Civil Police, which indicated that all necessary investigative measures, including forensic examinations, have been undertaken to clarify the incident. The police have indicated that it is too early to determine whether the death is linked to the procedure or if any negligence occurred on the part of the clinic. Meanwhile, attempts by g1 to reach the clinic for comments have been unsuccessful at this point.

This tragic incident sheds light on the risks associated with cosmetic surgeries, especially in regions where such procedures are increasingly sought after. With rising cases of health complications arising from aesthetic enhancements, this case may prompt discussions regarding the standards and oversight of cosmetic clinics in Brazil, particularly concerning the use of fillers and materials like PMMA that can pose serious health risks when improperly administered.
