Marta Kelly de Oliveira Silva, a 33-year-old influencer and mother of three, has died in Brazil after developing complications following cosmetic surgery.
Details of the Surgery and Hospitalisation
She underwent surgery on August 12 and was discharged the following day. On August 14, she was admitted to a hospital in Volta Redonda, Brazil after becoming unwell, and died in intensive care on Monday.
Reports suggest she underwent a 'three-in-one' combination of procedures including liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck, although her family has not confirmed exactly what surgery she had.
Husband's Tribute
Her husband, Marcus Vinícius, announced her death the following day, writing: “We lost the battle. It is still so difficult to write these words.
“I don’t think any sentence could possibly explain the depth of the pain I am feeling right now. Marta was the love of my life.
“My best friend, my companion, the best wife I could ever have had and an extraordinary mother to our children. She fought until the very last moment. She fought with all the strength she had.
“And anyone who knew Marta knows exactly who she was: a pure-hearted, shy, simple person, with a way all her own of loving and caring for those around her.”
Family and Social Media Presence
Originally from Volta Redonda, Marta was mother to three boys. She had amassed 267,000 followers on Instagram, where she shared glimpses of motherhood, family life and her daily routine. The couple had been together for 15 years.
Marta’s family has not revealed where the plastic surgery was carried out or the nature of the complications she developed. She was laid to rest in Volta Redonda on Tuesday morning.
Paying tribute to his wife and the mother of his children, Marcus wrote: “As a wife, she was my partner in absolutely everything. As a mother, she was love, care, protection and devotion.
“Théo, Ravi and Filippo had the privilege of having a mother who loved them in a way that words will never be able to explain.
“And now the hardest mission of my life begins: moving forward and raising our three boys in the way she would have wanted.
“I will do everything I can to make sure they grow up knowing exactly who their mother was, how much she loved them and how she will be present in every part of their lives.”
