Juju do Pix Undergoes First Surgery to Remove Mineral Oil From Face

Surgeons opted for a conservative first step because tissue hardened by mineral oil demands staged removal.

Overview

  • Plastic surgeon Thiago Marra released immediate post‑operative photos and a simulated preview of the anticipated final outcome after the procedure at Hospital Indianópolis in São Paulo.
  • The operation completed only the first stage, and a second surgery is planned to remove additional affected tissue and improve aesthetic and functional results once recovery allows.
  • Marra’s team, which includes doctors Alexandre Algarve and Alexandre Rezende, described the case as among the most delicate and complex they have treated.
  • The surgery was performed at no cost to influencer Juju Oliveira, who previously raised R$20,000 in 2021 for treatment and later donated the funds.
  • Juju says the complications began in 2017 after injections at a clandestine clinic that she believed were industrial silicone but later learned were mineral oil, leading to progressive facial deformity.
