Pay attention to your body but above all to your wallet.
A 38-year-old Italian woman yesterday morning escaped from a nursing home in the Montesacro district of Rome where on Tuesday she had undergone a buttock lift operation, which lasted six hours.
A daring escape with drains, prostheses and the sheath in order not to pay what was due.
The medical staff could do little about her when they saw her disappear in a car where, presumably, her partner was waiting for her.
An almost movie scene.
But unfortunately it was the reality that forced the plastic and aesthetic surgeon Maximilian Catenacci to file a complaint with the Fidene police station, confirmed by the agents.
After all, such an operation including the rent of the operating room, anesthesia, prostheses, the doctor's fee and healthcare costs around 20 thousand euros.
While the surgical thief had only paid the deposit of a thousand euros.
From a brief search, the surgeon discovered that the woman was already 'wanted' by another colleague from whom she allegedly stole an aesthetic medicine treatment with hyaluronic acid as a lip filler.
In that case she also disappeared "with the excuse of having to go and get her bag from the car".
"This lady was admitted to a facility in northern Rome for a plastic and aesthetic surgery operation - explains the lawyer Stefania Arduini - it is a very complex operation because it is a gluteoplasty and therefore the insertion of prostheses of obviously greater volume than those that they are inserted into the breast. To this operation the surgeon also added another buttock lift, therefore traction of the skin with external and internal stitches. Many people do not undergo this operation because it has a very heavy and painful post-operative period which must be controlled with analgesics.
The post-operative period is very long, you have to stay in bed, you have to wear a sheath, carry out close checks.
We were all surprised, I who am not a doctor, but above all because this lady got up , she left the clinic and also had the physical resistance to escape the doctors and nurses who were present who were also worried about her physical protection. But she candidly got into the car and took everything away, the drains, the sheath and the prostheses".
A true expert in these 'strokes' according to Doctor Catenacci.
"She contacted me - he explains - through my social profiles. And I learned from a Neapolitan colleague that the woman had also made a passage on a national television network reporting that she had suffered damage from a previous operation and would then have been operated on recommended by a Neapolitan colleague for a torso lift and a thigh lift."
