Mother-of-two, 28, dies after receiving butt implants from Venezuelan 'doctor'

Police have launched an investigation after a woman died receiving butt-enhancement injections from a man who claimed to be a doctor from Venezuela.

Suyima Torres, 28, died in April, and police are treating it as manslaughter connected to the unlicensed practice of medicine.

Suyima reportedly visited Cuerpos Health and Aesthetics for a $1,500 procedure in which an oily yellow substance was injected into each of her butt cheeks, according to court documents.

A few weeks later she had another round of injections and felt dizzy right after. She died ten hours later.
Victim: Suyima Torres, aged 28, died in April after receiving two separate sets of butt implants from a Venezuelan 'doctor' in a Miami clinic

She paid $2,300 in total cash for the injections.

Though her cause of death has not been determined, police are treating it as a homicide. 

Miami Dade Police seized  records, medications, and computers from Cuerpos Health and Aesthetics LLC. 



Tragic: Torres' mother, Coralia Espinosa, told MQB her daughter was rushed to the hospital accompanied by Ruth Planas after the second procedure

No charges have been filed but authorities still have few details for family members and a suspect believed to have left the country.

Ruth Planas, the owner of Cuerpos Health and Aesthetics LLC, is refusing to provide any information on the 'Venezuelan Doctor'.

But she never told the doctors about the procedure.

'Maybe if that woman would've told them early my daughter would still be here,' she told NBCMiami.

The business appears to be closed, locked down and packages are being left on the doorstep.

Torres' death happened just 16 days after 20-year-old Dailen Garcia says she received buttocks injections at the same center and then suffered vision problems and bleeding of the lungs.

She was hospitalized in an intensive care unit, MQB reports.


The most famous butt enhancement case came when the so-called 'toxic tush' nurse allegedly injected patients with Fix-A-Flat and Super Glue.
