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.

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. 

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'.
