  • 6 months ago
Roberta Correa, 44, had booked a fat removal treatment in Cosmópolis, Brazil, but began to feel unwell shortly after receiving anaesthesia. The endolaser procedure was intended to remove fat and reduce sagging by using laser energy to heat the areas.Normally the procedure is minimally invasive and has a quick recovery time - but Roberta suffered a seizure shortly after the treatment began.The social media star was rushed to hospital from the clinic before the procedure could be completed, and was unable to be saved.Now, authorities have said the unnamed clinic Roberta visited was not authorised to carry out the procedure in question. Local health officials closed the facility down after her death on October 13, as they await autopsy results.Roberta’s cousin Paola Eliza Lück de Paula claimed the procedure went forward despite the Roberta complaining of discomfort.Paola told local media: “She started feeling chills, and from what we know, they said it was normal.“The procedure began, and shortly after, presumably in pain or convulsing, she asked them to stop.”
