Holy smokes, have you heard about the latest news on Brazilian model Ana Bárbara Buhr Buldrini? This poor woman tragically passed away just hours after getting three plastic surgeries in Turkey. It’s like something out of a horror movie.
I mean, we all know cosmetic surgery comes with risks, but this is just heartbreaking. Ana was only 31 years old and had her whole life ahead of her. It’s a reminder that you always need to do your research and make sure you’re going to a reputable surgeon.
According to local outlet O Tempo, 31-year-old Ana Bárbara Buhr Buldrini and her husband, Elgar Sueia, 30, travelled from Mozambique to Istanbul, where she underwent liposuction, breast augmentation, and a nose job on Sunday, June 15.
Sueia alleges Buldrini — who had had 797,000 Instagram followers — had an agreement with Tusa Hospital to receive the surgeries in exchange for promoting the hospital on her social media accounts.
However, her husband told O Tempo that Buldrini died just hours after the operations, after going into cardiorespiratory arrest. He also alleged to the outlet that his wife had not been adequately prepared for the procedures.
She wanted to undergo these procedures to improve her aesthetic standards. It was a dream of hers,” he said. “The surgery was scheduled for this Wednesday [June 18], but, due to scheduling issues, the surgeon decided to bring it forward to Sunday [June 15].”
“We went to the clinic on Sunday just to see the place, but the doctor wanted to perform the procedure without Ana being prepared,” he added to the Brazilian newspaper.
According to Turkish outlet Turkiye Today, the grieving husband stated that fasting was a requirement for the surgery, yet his wife had eaten.
According to G1, Buldrini’s surgery was completed by 11 p.m. on June 15. Sueia was told that he could see his wife, and though she was still under anesthetic, she would wake up.
“They told me to go to the room, the assistants were acting strangely,” Sueia said, per G1. “I waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes to receive her. I went down to the ground floor, and a doctor said that her heart was beating slowly, another said that she was already dead.”
Sueia took to Instagram to share his heartbreak at Buldrini’s death.
“I speak today not only as a husband who lost the love of his life — Ana Bárbara Buhr Buldrini — but also as a human being demanding truth, accountability, and justice,” he captioned a post sharing a news report about the case from Turkish TV station, EKOL TV.
“On June 16th, 2025, Ana tragically lost her life at a private clinic in Pendik, Istanbul. She came to this country with hope and trust.”
He added, “That trust was broken by the system that allowed this to happen unchecked.”
Let this be a cautionary tale, folks. Don’t take unnecessary risks when it comes to cosmetic procedures. Your life is too precious to gamble with.
