Brazil: Influencer Luana Andrade, 29, Dies After Liposuction Surgery

Brazilian influencer and social media sensation Luana Andrade passed away due to complications arising from her knee liposuction surgery. This incident occurred in Sao Paulo, where Luana had opted for what should have been a routine cosmetic procedure. However, the outcome was far from routine, leading to the loss of a young life.

Approximately two and a half hours into the surgical procedure, Luana Andrade's heart ceased to function. The medical team immediately suspended the fat removal process and initiated life-saving efforts, but their attempts were in vain. Luana was subsequently transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU), where her condition remained critical.

The Cause of Death

According to reports by the Daily Mail, the surgery was halted after diagnostic tests revealed the presence of a massive thrombosis in the patient's system. Despite immediate medical attention and hemodynamic treatment in the ICU, the situation took a tragic turn. In the early hours of Tuesday, around 5:30 AM, Luana Andrade was pronounced dead. The hospital officially attributed her death to a pulmonary embolism.

As of now, the identities of the operating doctor and anaesthetist have not been disclosed, and they have refrained from making any statements regarding the shocking turn of events. The circumstances surrounding Luana's surgery and the specifics of the medical care provided during the procedure are subject to ongoing investigations.

Condolences from the Community

The news of Luana Andrade's passing sent shockwaves through the Brazilian social media community. Renowned Brazilian footballer Neymar expressed his condolences on Instagram, paying tribute to the departed influencer. "Sad day with two very bad news," he wrote. "My condolences to the whole family, may God receive Luana with open arms."

Luana's boyfriend, Joao Hadad, also took to Instagram to share his grief, stating, "I'm torn and living my worst nightmare. A piece of me is gone. It is with great regret and a lot of pain in my heart that I say goodbye to my Luana, my princess, my beautiful..."

The tragic death of Luana Andrade serves as a grim reminder of the inherent risks associated with such medical procedures, even when conducted by skilled professionals.
