A plastic surgeon known as ‘Dr Bumbum’ or ‘Dr Butt’ has been charged with murdering a patient who died following buttock enlargement injections.Denis Furtado went on the run for four days following the death of Lilian Calixto, a 46-year-old bank manager, who died in hospital following the procedure. Local media reported that the hospital said Calixto arrived with tachycardia, an abnormally fast heart rate, after having silicone injected into each buttock.Furtado and his mother, who is also a doctor, were arrested last month in an office in a business center in the Barra de Tijuca beachside neighborhood of Rio in connection with the woman’s death. According to his charge sheet, reported in local media, he is accused of using a larger dose of a chemical than what was advisable during the operation. He is said to have used 300ml of PMMA – a synthetic resin known as acrylic glass filler – during the procedure, according to the charge sheet, which said it was recommended to be used “in very small doses”.Photo Credit: Getty
