Illegal “Basement” Cosmetic Surgeries in Brazil

Brazil is getting quite a problem with illegally performed cosmetic surgeries, including breast implants, that bait Brazilian women who want anything from Botox, to breast implants, to a nose job, into getting their service dirt cheap, but many times at a price. 

You see, these “doctors” are not even licensed many times to practice medicine, much less perform cosmetic surgery on anyone, and here they are, getting paid (albeit a much lower price than a professional service), to perform illegal surgeries on women. 

The problem came to a head when a young woman recently paid just over $3,000 to get a nose job and liposuction.  She ended up dying of complications related to getting fatty tissue on her lungs, about 3 days after she had the liposuction illegally performed on a massage table in someone’s basement. 

These dirtbags are performing the surgeries without the right facilities and credentials, and especially with high danger operations like liposuction, are putting people in jeopardy by preying on them for a cut rate cost to what they would get from a profession and licensed facility. 

Many complications have arisen from these illegally performed cosmetic surgeries, including deaths, and authorities are trying to warn women against falling for this type of scam.  Talk about paying the ultimate price for beauty….
