A stunning influencer who was left 'deformed' after a clinic injected her with fraudulent fillers has taken a break from trying to fix her face to get a boob job.
In 2017, Brazilian social media star Juliana Oliveira, known online as Juju do Pix, now 32, was injected with what she thought was silicone-based filler into her cheeks - but it turned out to be 21 syringes of mineral oil and laxatives.
The injections were allegedly administered by an illegal clinic without her consent, according to The Sun, and they left her severely disfigured.
She went under the knife in November, the first of many procedures she will have to get to undo the damage done to her face from the cosmetic injections gone wrong.
And now, Oliveira has revealed that she's undergone a second surgery - but this time it wasn't on her face.
Oliveira has now gotten breast implants.
Taking to Instagram late last month, her doctor, Dr Thiago Marra, shared a video showcasing the results following the 'silicone implant surgery.'
'Everything is progressing perfectly - exactly as expected,' he wrote.
Oliveira, who is transgender, previously explained that she got the filler in 2017 because she wanted to look 'more beautiful and feminine.'
But the botched injections left her with immensely swollen cheeks and eyelids.
Oliveira told The Sun that she struggled to find work because of her face and believed that she would look like that for the rest of her life after spending eight years searching for a doctor to help her.
But she finally found someone willing to take on her case: Dr Marra, who performed surgery on the content creator to try to fix the damage in November.
It took more than four hours and was the first reconstructive procedure of many for the influencer.
It was reported that the surgeon removed the mineral oils and 'as much skin as possible' from her face and it was deemed successful.
In a video shared to his social media afterwards, Dr Marra said as he pointed to her swollen cheeks: 'I'll be able to empty these a bit more but we can't do this all at once because otherwise necrosis would set in.'
She claimed that she was injected with what she thought was silicone-based filler - but it turned out to be 21 syringes of mineral oil and laxatives.
She went under the knife in November, during which, the doctor removed the mineral oils and 'as much skin as possible' from her face.
'In a second stage, once the tissue has recovered more and after we see how her body responds, we will be able to remove even more to further improve the result.'
It turns out Oliveira isn't the only one who has had an unfortunate experience with fake injectables.
In April 2024, 22 people from 11 states reported harmful reactions after receiving injections of Botox from unlicensed or untrained providers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
None of the women underwent the procedure in a medical setting - instead, describing getting Botox in spas and at home.
The harmful reactions were reported between November 4, 2023 and March 31, 2024, in a slew of states including California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Texas and Washington.
