Influencer Ana Bárbara Buhr Buldrini dead at 31 after botched surgery hours after partying with doctor

A popular influencer went into cardiac arrest and died after undergoing plastic surgery just hours after partying with the surgeon in Turkey.

Ana Bárbara Buhr Buldrini, 31, had traveled to from Mozambique to Istanbul last Friday with her husband, Elgar Miles, to undergo a several cosmetic procedures.

Buldrini signed on to undergo a breast augmentation, liposuction and a nose job in return for promoting Tusa Hospital in Istanbul on social media, according to local news outlet O Tempo.

“She wanted to undergo these procedures to improve her aesthetic standards. It was a dream of hers,” Miles told the outlet, per Daily Mail.

The couple, who wed just last month, had inquired about changing the date of the operation which was originally slated for Wednesday to allow an extra day for recovery.

“Due to scheduling issues, the surgeon decided to bring it forward to Sunday,” Miles said, noting that the surgery took place just hours after they partied with the physician.

“We went to the clinic on Sunday just to see the place, but the doctor wanted to perform the procedure without Ana being prepared.”

And while the duo were out with the doctor the night before, Miles claims that his wife was being persuaded to go ahead with the surgery just hours later.

“The doctor assured me that there were no problems and that everything would be fine,” Miles told local news outlet G1.

As a result, Buldrini — who had boasted 797,000 Instagram followers and often shared singing videos on the platform — went under the knife the following day, and was out of the operating room by 11 p.m. Sunday.

Miles told the outlet that he had received a photo of his wife recovering and was told that she was still under anesthesia.

“They told me to go to the room, the assistants were acting strangely. I waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes to receive her,” he said.

Hours later, doctors told him that she had died.

“I went down to the ground floor and a doctor said that her heart was beating slowly, another said that she was already dead.”

The doctors were detailed at the medical facility, but were later released by police.

Tusa Hospital has since denied any malpractice and said its staff attempted to revive Buldrini following her surgery.

“Despite all efforts by our expert anesthesiology team, the patient could not be resuscitated,” they said in a statement obtained by Turkish outlet Turkiye Today.

The facility added that its staff is cooperating with authorities.
