Glamorous influencer Bianca Dias has died aged 27, just days after undergoing plastic surgery.
The Brazilian social media star, who has two daughters, is believed to have died of a pulmonary embolism.
Dias was recovering from surgery at her family’s beach house in Guarujá, near São Paulo, when she began suffering from a shortness of breath.
She was taken to hospital but passed away 18 days after her initial procedure.
An investigation into her cause of death has reportedly been launched.
The online star had over 58,000 followers on Instagram, where her bio reads: ‘Living at my own pace, without rushing, and with purpose.’
Pulmonary embolisms are a well-known risk associated with major cosmetic surgeries.
The risk of developing post-operative blood clots is the highest in the first 48 hours following the procedure.
It also remains a critical concern for up to 20 days after surgery.

In January, Nigerian content creator Esther ‘Sunshine’ Thomas, who had nearly half a million followers across Instagram and Facebook, died suddenly after undergoing surgery.
Confirming her passing in a statement shared online, Thomas’s family said: ‘We the family of Esther Thomas (A.K.A. Sunshine) with pain in our heart we regret to announce the sudden demise of our beloved sister and daughter.
‘We are trying to put things in place so we could put her to rest.’
Fellow social media star Chidera Madu shared details of Thomas’s passing in a video posted to his Instagram.
He explained that she started experiencing stomach pain on December 28, which led to a hospital trip on New Year’s Day.
After a series of scans, Madu claimed that doctors determined Thomas had a fibroid that had ‘grown so big.’
Doctors reportedly recommended surgery to remove the fibroid and while they said that the procedure had been a success, Madu believes Sunshine experienced complications.
