Brazilians are so into cosmetic surgery

    Following the accident that happened in Framingham concerning a young woman who died after having a liposuction surgery which was done at the basement of a condominium by a Brazilian couple, all eyes are set on the Brazilian community and their affinity to cosmetic surgery.

    Brazilians admitted that they are indeed devoted to cosmetic surgery but they don’t approve of the poor woman’s decision to have her body done at somebody’s house. They said that if ever they have surgery, they prefer to go through it in a surgeon’s office-based facility or in a hospital. They also said that they usually go back to Brazil to do it, since the cost is much cheaper there.

    One of the main factors why Brazilians are fond of cosmetic surgery is Brazil’s hot weather. Everybody there goes in a bikini, and since nobody wants to look awful in a bikini, they turn to cosmetic surgery for answers. Women, for instance, go through breast augmentation surgery because big breasts are the rage there. This and more explain why Brazil was the country with the second largest number of cosmetic surgery procedures done in 2002 according to BBC news.

    Brazilian women, despite their known fondness to cosmetic surgery, would never resort to going under the knife in the hands of an unlicensed physician in an inappropriate setup.

    Milford Daily News contains some of the statements from Brazilian women who were shocked to learn about the recent accident.

    "I’ve never heard of someone doing this in a basement. I think it is horrible," she said.

    Janice Barroso agreed.

    The clerk at Compania do Crianca, a store downtown, said Brazilian women usually undergo cosmetic surgery in hospitals. Brazilian surgeons are considered among the best in the world, she said.

    "Not even women without money do this in a home," said Barroso. "It is very normal to fly back to Brazil to do an operation and then come back to the U.S. They do a good job there."
