Brazilian model and influencer Lygia Fazio, 40, died of a stroke last week. She used a plastic component and industrial silicone to enlarge her buttocks.
The substance spread throughout her body causing infections and she was hospitalized for 100 days. A plastic surgeon warned that PPMA is indicated in very few cases, where it is used to improve the contour and anatomy of patients who suffered lipodystrophies or alterations caused by drugs for the treatment of the HIV virus.
