One of several unfortunate deaths

The passing of Jaquelin Carrieri comes a few weeks after the world of fashion and beauty was shaken by the death of model and actress Silvina Luna. She also lost her life due to complications caused by poorly performed beauty treatments.

Jacky Oh died from the same causes

The news also comes just days after authorities confirmed that the 'Wild 'N' Out' star Jacky Oh had died from complications of a botched cosmetic surgery, back in May 2023.

Dangerous cosmetic operations

While seemingly safe, cosmetic procedures can come with substantial health risks. Especially the operation to adjust the backside of a person, which happened in the case of Jacky Oh, can be dangerous. As it injects fat into someone's rear end, the procedure can block important blood vessels and cause tissue to die, Dr. Michael Obeng told People magazine.

Kim Kardashian doppelganger had a heart attack

It is uncertain whether Jaquelin Carrieri passed away after this particular operation, but we do know that the famous Kim Kardashian doppelganger Christina Ashten Gourkani died of a heart attack in April 2023 after undergoing a plastic surgery procedure to enlarge her behind.

Charges against the surgeon

Shortly after her death, People magazine reported that a woman was arrested in Florida for charges of involuntary manslaughter and practicing medicine without a license. She had been the one who had operated on Ashten before her death.

Consequences for LA clinic not clear

It is unclear so far, however, whether the Los Angeles clinic that operated on Argentinian actress Jaquelin Carrieri will face any scrutiny for the complications of the operation.

Jaquelin Carrieri: a beauty queen
