Overview
- The initial operation on November 20 at Hospital Indianópolis in São Paulo lasted about four and a half hours and used a conservative approach with local anesthesia and sedation to limit risk of skin necrosis.
- Dr. Thiago Marra shared images of hardened mineral oil fragments removed and reported clean, dry sutures, reduced swelling, improved mouth opening, and no signs of infection.
- Juju was discharged and is recovering at home in Passo Fundo under ongoing follow-up, saying she feels well without pain, dizziness, or nausea.
- A second-stage procedure is being scheduled for roughly three to six months to remove additional material, with overall results expected to evolve over six to twelve months.
- The surgery was performed at no cost to the patient, who was disfigured after a 2017 clandestine injection of about 250 ml of mineral oil initially believed to be industrial silicone.
