Andreia Vieira Gaspar, a 51-year-old businesswoman living in Spain, died in Goiânia, Brazil, following a series of six facial aesthetic procedures. The surgeries, which lasted more than eight hours, included procedures such as deep-plane rhytidoplasty, rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, blepharoplasty, neck liposuction, and fat grafting.

Medical reports identified the cause of death as acute thrombosis and pulmonary infarction. Following the operations, the patient reportedly experienced severe swelling of the tongue and difficulty breathing. The victim's family has alleged medical negligence, claiming that medical staff dismissed her symptoms as nervousness and that the hospital lacked an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and advanced support ambulance.

Further concerns were raised regarding whether doctors properly addressed a potential bacterial infection identified in pre-operative exams conducted in Spain. The family also noted that the surgeries were arranged via social media and telephone without a prior in-person consultation. The Public Ministry of Goiás has requested a police inquiry to investigate the death as potential involuntary manslaughter.
