A Cuban woman and mother of two tragically lost her life following a cosmetic surgical procedure at a Miami clinic. Mayrelis Mirabal, aged 40, passed away this week after undergoing an abdominal operation at a well-known facility.
According to the TikTok account noticias_hoy44, she was the mother of two boys whom she had managed to bring to the United States about a year ago, after a significant struggle. Chanel, a friend, shared on Facebook that upon waking from the procedure, Mayrelis expressed a feeling of nausea and died instantly thereafter. "She was from my hometown, it was a tummy operation," Chanel remarked.
The heartbreaking incident has sparked an outpouring of grief on social media. "Oh my God, I saw her that day, and we had our surgeries on the same day. Truly, I'm so sorry; she was so happy," shared one woman.
Mayrelis's untimely death, leaving behind two orphaned children, has ignited a broader discussion on whether cosmetic surgeries are worth the risks. The clinic has yet to release any statement regarding the incident.
Speculation abounds, with some suggesting a potential medical mishap, while others highlight that all surgeries inherently carry risks, and individual reactions to anesthesia can vary greatly. Some critics argue that spending money on cosmetic procedures is frivolous and unnecessary.
In the midst of the controversy, influencer Flor de Cuba weighed in, emphasizing that surgeries exist largely due to societal pressures to conform to certain beauty ideals. She pointed out the irony in comments encouraging self-love and acceptance, often coming from those who bully others online, without considering the damage such remarks can cause to a person's self-esteem. "What makes me laugh are the comments like 'love yourself as you are,' 'don't pay attention to those things,' 'accept yourself as you are,' and yet they are the first to bully other women on social media," she emphasized.
