Cops are investigating a plastic surgeon for manslaughter after this pretty teacher and mum of two suffered a heart attack while undergoing three major cosmetic procedures all at the same time.

Roberta Lopes dos Passos passed away days later in the ICU at the Hospital do Coracao in the city of Balneario Camboriu in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina in the early hours of Friday, 24th December.

She was 35 years old, and she leaves behind a partner and two children aged three and six.

The teacher had been in an induced coma in the ICU after she had been sent home, despite the apparent heart attack, after a tummy tuck, mammoplasty and abdominal liposuction at the Hospital Sao Jose in the nearby town of Tijucas.

Her family filed a police report the day before she died, alleging negligent bodily injury, which her plastic surgeon Sergio Keinet has denied, claiming that the surgery went without a hitch.

The police opened an inquiry on the same day, and they are now investigating the case as manslaughter.

The hospital told the news portal G1 that it “follows strict care protocols and that it monitors its patients before, during and after each procedure”.

According to grieving partner Leandro Luiz Silveira, the procedure took around six hours, after which the woman complained of pain, later diagnosed as a heart attack by emergency medics, only to be told by the medical team that carried out the plastic surgery that it was normal.

Her condition worsened and she was taken to hospital the following morning.

It was there that doctors told the man that his partner had suffered a cardiac arrest during the cosmetic procedures and that her condition was serious.

She spent nine days in hospital before her untimely passing on Christmas Eve.
