PMMA technical and regulatory Aspectos

PMMA is registered with Anvisa, but its authorization is restricted to reparative purposes, such as correcting lipodystrophy or small imperfections. The substance is not recommended for large-scale aesthetic procedures, such as filling the buttocks and legs, according to the regulatory agency’s guidelines. In her statement to the 27th Distrito Policial (Campo Belo), doctor Tábita Nunes stated that she had applied approximately 300 milliliters of PMMA and stated that the patient had normal preoperative exams. The professional, however, admitted that she did not have a residency in dermatology.

Severe Complicações and inflammatory reactions represent documented risks associated with PMMA. Anvisa reinforces that the application must be carried out carefully and only by qualified professionals. The substance has already caused deaths in previous aesthetic procedures.

Doctor’s Posicionamento

In a note, Tábita Nunes’s defense stated that the procedure took place without any complications and that Roseli was discharged without complaints. Segundo the statement, the fainting occurred exclusively during the journey from the hotel to the clinic, inside an Uber. Tábita activated Samu and began cardiac resuscitation maneuvers upon noticing the loss of consciousness in the reception hall. The defense also highlights that the investigation is at an early stage and that there is no report proving a relationship between the procedure and death. The doctor voluntarily presented herself for testimony and remains at the disposal of Polícia Civil for further clarification.
