Model dies after botched illegal Brazilian butt lift procedure used dodgy filler

An owner of an illegal cosmetic clinic has been accused of murder after a mum she injected with a dangerous filler tragically died.

Aline Maria Ferreira passed away at the age of 33

Aline Maria Ferreira da Silva, 33, from Brazil, underwent a bum-enhancement procedure at the Ame-se clinic on June 23. But one day later, she collapsed and was rushed to hospital. Things went from bad to worse when her blood pressure dropped and began to endure a racing heart rate.

The mum of two was transferred to three different hospitals and reportedly died from cardiac arrest on July 2. Grazielly da Silva Barbosa, who owns the clinic in Goiania, in the state of Goias, was arrested the day after she died.

According to reports, medics at the clinic had reportedly injected 30 millilitres of PMMA, a synthetic resin filler often used in cosmetic implants. The filler was injected into each of her bum cheeks, which experts have previously advised against due to the risk of severe complications.

Aline, who was also a beauty influencer with 40,000 Instagram followers, went back to the clinic the day after the op, saying she was suffering agonising stomach pains and a fever. But, her mother previously told local media that she was sent away and told it was a normal reaction to the bum-boosting op. Her mum previously told how Aline trusted clinic boss Barbosa after a series of successful procedures at the clinic.

She earlier said: “Because she had done so many operations there, she completely trusted the clinic owner. My daughter was healthy, she was fine. I want justice, justice has to be done.” On October 3, after a three-month investigation, police chief Debora Melo revealed that the PMMA is what likely caused Aline’s complications. It also emerged that accused Barbosa not only did not have any medical training, but had also been performing cosmetic procedures illegally since 2019.

Instead, she had only taken independent courses on aesthetics, which are not approved by health officials in Brazil. The manufacturer of PMMA, MTC Medical, reported that investigations indicate the product injected into Aline was taken from containers held by Barbosa, and the syringes were then filled with this material.

According to the manufacturer, this handling is completely different from legitimate PMMA, which is sold exclusively to doctors. Another shocking detail is also that Barbosa visited Aline at the hospital after the botched op and took it upon herself to administer an anticoagulant to the patient without the knowledge or authorisation of doctors. Barbosa, who remains under house arrest, was indicted for intentional homicide, illegal practice of medicine, providing highly dangerous services, counterfeiting of pharmaceutical products and misleading consumers.
