A 14-year-old girl from Mexico has tragically died after an alleged unauthorized breast enlargement surgery. Paloma Nicole Arellano Escobedo passed away in a Durango hospital, one week after the operation.

Her father, Carlos Arellano, insists the surgery caused fatal complications. “Her death certificate falsely stated illness to cover up the truth,” he claimed. He said he only discovered the implants at her funeral, adding, “I demand that all those responsible be investigated.”

Reports suggest Paloma’s mother consented to the surgery. Doctors initially told her father she had COVID-19 complications, but later, he learned she had suffered cardiac arrest. Authorities have now launched a formal investigation into her death.

This tragedy comes amid growing concern about unsafe cosmetic procedures. Similar cases in Brazil and Turkey have ended in heartbreak, raising urgent questions about medical standards. Should stricter laws be enforced to protect young women from risky cosmetic surgery?
