The cosmetic surgeon who gave a Brazilian butt lift to a young Australian tourist who died during the procedure lost another patient just a year before her tragic death.
Dr Victor Ramirez, of the Hospital Quirurgico del Valle in Mexicali, the capital city of the Mexican state of Baja California, operated on Roseann Falcon Ornelas in 2014.The 52-year-old American woman was given a tummy tuck by Dr Ramirez, and began complaining of shortness of breath just five hours after her operation, and was in much pain. She died later.
The President of the College of Plastic Surgeons in Mexicali has confirmed that Dr Ramirez’s certification had lapsed, and that he had been suspended until after the investigation into the latest death had been completed.
The Hospital Quirurgico del Valle has also been closed down amid dozens of reports of poor hygiene, outdated facilities and unsafe practices. An inspection also discovered inadequate operating theatres, insufficient post-operative care and outdated medical devices.
Dr Ramirez made headlines in 2012 after he illegally used a photo of reality star Kim Kardashian on a billboard to advertise his services.
