Paloma Nicole Arellano, a child under 14, died this Saturday in Mexico after complications in cosmetic surgery in a private clinic in the capital of Durango. His father, Carlos Arellano, denounced the death of the young woman before the State Prosecutor’s Office, pointing to the hospital, the mother and the doctor, who are a couple.
According to the complaint made by the father on social networks, on September 12, the doctor Víctor N made a breast implants to the young woman with the consent of her mother, Paloma N, without her father finding out. Arellano says that one day before the mother told her that they would travel to the Sierra de Durango because the child had positively made COVID-19 at school and stay in some cabins where they would not have a telephone signal. Days later, the mother informed her that the teenager was seriously hospitalized. “I thought Covid had complicated on his journey to the Sierra,” said the father in an interview with The Sun of Mexico.
The young woman was hospitalized for a week. According to the father, surgery caused serious complications: a cardiorespiratory arrest and inflammation in the brain, induction to coma and intubation. Finally, he died this Saturday. It was at the funeral where the father knew of the aesthetic procedure to which he had been submitted. “I demand that all those responsible be investigated: the doctor, the mother, the hospital, their administrators and those who participated in this cover -up,” said Arellano.
The case adds to a context of irregular clinics and procedures in the country. In the last three years, the Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks (Cofepris) has closed 97 clandestine clinics: 48 in Mexico City, 29 in the State of Mexico and the rest in entities such as Guadalajara, Hidalgo, Puebla, Oaxaca, Tamaulipas and Michoacán.
