Calif. Woman Died, 2 Others Hospitalized After Getting Plastic Surgery from Same Doctor in Tijuana

All three procedures took place on Jan. 29 at Art Siluette Aesthetic Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico, and were performed by Dr. Jesús Manuel Báez López, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune

Keuana Weaver, a 38-year-old mother of two from Long Beach, California, died on the operating table, her mother, Renee Weaver, told the daily newspaper.

Although Keuana did tell her family that she was having some “work done” prior to the trip, her mother believed she was going to Florida. She only learned her daughter had traveled to Mexico after another family member told her of Keuana’s death.  

“I’m heartbroken. I want to know what happened,” Renee, 58, told The San Diego Union-Tribue.

“Keuana was a very independent woman; a good, loving, smart and very intelligent Black woman,” she added. “I’m mostly sad this happened to my daughter because she was already so beautiful to me, inside and out, she just couldn’t see it.”

A health document provided by Keuana’s mother listed her cause of death as “secondary hypoxic encephalopathy,” a kind of brain injury caused by oxygen deprivation.
