A 26-year-old Brazilian influencer and mother of one has died eight days after undergoing breast enlargement surgery. Derleya Alves, a fitness and lifestyle model with 26,000 Instagram followers, suffered complications following the procedure on February 20.
Shortly after the operation, Alves began experiencing severe pain but continued to post on social media, sharing photos from her hospital bed. Her condition rapidly deteriorated, requiring multiple tests and two additional surgeries, during which surgeons repaired her intestines and removed one of her ovaries.
She died at Marabá Municipal Hospital in northern Brazil. Doctors are investigating whether a pre-existing intestinal issue may have contributed to her death. Authorities are awaiting a full autopsy report before determining the exact cause, and there is currently no suspicion of medical malpractice.
