Dr BumBum! Plastic Surgeon Arrested After ‘Going On The Run When Woman Died Following Bum Enlargement’

A Brazilian plastic surgeon who went on the run after his female patient died from bottom injections was arrested yesterday.Cops in Rio detained Dr Denis Furtado, dubbed Dr BumBum, after he allegedly attempted to flee following the death of mum-of-two Lilian Calixto. Furtado was considered a fugitive of justice when officers were unable to locate him after a judge issued an arrest warrant for the surgeon. HSBC bank manager Calixto, 46, travelled to the Brazilian city to undergo the procedure at the home of the surgeon to the stars.Calixto, from Cuiaba, reportedly arrived at Furtado’s apartment in the upmarket Barra da Tijuca district of Rio on Saturday night. It is believed she had booked to have polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)_fillers injected to make her bum bigger and a hormone implant to treat menopause. Soon after receiving the injections at 10pm, she reportedly fell ill and started gasping for air, and her condition quickly deteriorated. Furtado took her to the local Barra D’Or hospital, where she was admitted at 11pm in an “extremely severe condition, unresponsive to manoeuvres”.Police yesterday arrested the nurse who assisted in the procedure, as well as Furtado’s girlfriend after the patient died a few hours later at 1am. Furtado accidentally injected the filler into Ms Calixto’s arteries, causing a fatal clot which ruptured her heart, sources said. Furtado is a common fixture on Brazilian TV and has more than 647,000 followers on Instagram. He claims to have performed more than 8,000 bottom enlargement surgeries and counts the rich and famous among his clients.The shamed physician has posted dozens of “before and after” photos on Instagram showing off the bottoms of his patients. A recent video shows him with Flavia Tamario, a contestant on last year’s popular Miss Bumbum competition. He kisses Flavia and calls her his “most grateful patient” after she proudly says: “I’m here with Dr Bumbum!” On his Facebook page, Furtado boasts: “I have gained my different nicknames and the most recent is Dr BumBum and that makes me very proud.”Photo Credit: Getty
