Overview

• Paloma Nicole, 14, underwent breast implants and other aesthetic procedures on September 12 at Clínica Santa María in Durango and died on September 20 after severe complications, according to her father’s complaint.
• The Durango prosecutor’s office opened a criminal investigation and ordered a necropsy; the governor said results could take 10–20 days and promised the case would not go unpunished.
• AMCPER imposed a provisional, internal suspension on surgeon Víctor Manuel Rosales Galindo and sent the case to its Ethics Committee, noting the measure does not revoke his government license.
• The father filed complaints naming the stepfather‑surgeon, the mother, and the clinic, alleging deception about a supposed Covid-19 illness and stating the mother assisted in surgery without professional credentials.
• Mexico lacks a legislated minimum age for cosmetic surgery, and in response to the case the Senate Health Commission president proposed banning such procedures for minors when not medically justified.
