The Homicide and Femicide section of the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office awaits an autopsy report from the Institute of Legal Medicine to clarify the death of a 25-year-old woman who suffered complications after undergoing cosmetic surgery in Colombia.

The investigation arose on February 25, after the death of the woman at the Irma De Lourdes Tzanetatos Social Security Fund hospital (December 24), where she had been taken by her family.

It is not the only case of deaths due to alleged malpractice in this type of surgery reports La Prensa.

 On February 24, the body of a lifeless woman was found in a room in a residential complex in Vista Hermosa.

The Panamanian Association of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery had earlier issued a stark warning that many times these procedures, which are generally advertised in cheap promotions, lead to malpractice or inadequate postoperative care, and in the end, patients end up in public or private hospitals.
