When the search for beauty turns into a nightmare
Ah, the miracles of aesthetic medicine: where a little lipo here and a filler there promise to transform you into the filtered version of yourself. But sometimes, the only “before and after” that remains is that of life to death. This is what happened to a woman in Guadalajara, whose dream of a body upgrade ended in the worst possible ending.
According to State Attorney Salvador González de los Santos (yes, the name is longer than the list of risks that no one reads before signing the consent), the autopsy confirmed the obvious: the surgery killed the patient. But, surprise surprise, they still don’t know if the doctors were moreDr. Frankensteinthat Dr. Miami. “We are waiting for the expert opinion,” said the prosecutor, in what sounds like a “don’t run, we still don’t know who to lynch.”
Between the operating room and the court
The case occurred in a clinic in the Colonia Mezquitán Country (because of course, fancy places also have their dramas). The patient arrived for a touch-up and left in a black bag. Hours later, someone at the clinic remembered to tell the husband, because what better time for an uncomfortable call than when there is no turning back.
The most ironic thing is that, so far this year, this is already the fourth death in aesthetic procedures in Jalisco. Should we stop treating operating rooms like beauty salons? But no, we still trust that a doctor with an Instagram title knows what he’s doing.
Meanwhile, the doctors involved remain free, because the prosecution is still “integrating the investigation folder” (translation: gathering enough legal memes to present something coherent). Responsibility? That depends on whether the judge believes it was bad luck or malpractice.
Moral: If you are going to put yourself in the hands of a surgeon, at least make sure his CV has more experience than his followers on TikTok.
