Young mother dies hours after botched liposuction

A Venezuelan mother tragically died following a liposuction procedure performed at a shopping center.

She had undergone a laser liposuction procedure, also known as lipo laser, in which surgeons use a laser to trim fat, shape the body and sculpt cellulite, Jam Press reported.

The procedure is generally considered less traumatic and invasive than the standard procedure.

Rivero had undergone lipo laser treatment, in which surgeons use a laser to remove fat and shape the body.

However, due to an oxygen shortage at the hospital, they were still waiting for an emergency vehicle at 2:45 a.m

Rivero reportedly felt ill following the procedure.

Following the tragedy, authorities have begun investigating the doctor responsible for the procedure, identified as Alexander Larrochele.

Rivero’s not the first person to die from a liposuction procedure gone awry.

Last January, a mother of two perished following a botched $6,500 fat-trimming procedure in Spain, which reportedly left her with “injuries like she’d been in a knife fight.”
