Tragedy struck in Durango, Mexico, when a 14-year-old girl, Paloma Nicole Arellano Escobedo, passed away just days after undergoing cosmetic surgery, including a breast augmentation and a butt lift, unbeknownst to her father. Her mother’s boyfriend, a plastic surgeon, is currently under scrutiny for possible negligent homicide in this heartbreaking case.
Paloma was pronounced dead on Saturday after experiencing severe complications that left her in a coma, including cerebral edema and cardiac issues, just a week following the surgery, as reported by El Siglo de Durango.
In a shocking revelation, Paloma’s father, Carlos Arellano, learned the truth about his daughter’s surgery only during her funeral. Initially, he was informed that her death was due to complications related to Covid-19.
During the funeral, relatives mentioned that Paloma’s breasts appeared larger post-surgery. When Carlos confronted his ex-wife, she denied any knowledge of the surgery. It prompted him to seek privacy, allowing family members to assist in examining his daughter’s body.
“It was true: she had breast implants. We have photos of the implants and the scars. We immediately requested an autopsy,” he revealed to prosecutors, as cited by AZ Central.
Carlos accused his ex-wife and her boyfriend, identified as a 45-year-old doctor named Víctor “N,” of conspiring to deceive him about the procedure, holding them directly responsible for Paloma’s tragic fate.
The Durango Prosecutor’s Office has initiated an investigation against the surgeon for negligence and potential homicide, pending the results of a final autopsy.
A preliminary evaluation indicated that the teen experienced swelling in the brain and damage to her lungs. However, the comprehensive pathological report may take between 10 to 20 days to complete, as the body had already been treated by the funeral home.
The Mexican Association of Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgeons (AMCPER) has announced the provisional suspension of the surgeon involved, amidst ongoing inquiries into this poignant case, as reported by local sources according to local reports.
