Prosecutors in Rio de Janeiro have charged a celebrity plastic surgeon known as “Dr Bumbum” and his mother with homicide for carrying out an aesthetic procedure that caused the death of one of his patients and was conducted in his apartment.

Denis Furtado, 45, was arrested in July in the upmarket, beachside neighbourhood of Barra da Tijuca where he performed a buttock-enhancing treatment on bank manager Lilian Calixto, 46, who died hours later.

Prosecutors charged Furtado, his mother, his girlfriend and secretary Renata Fernandes and domestic employee, Rosilane da Silva with homicide.

In a statement, they said that Furtado, helped by the others, had injected 300ml of Poly (methyl methacrylate), or PMMA, a synthetic resin also known as acrylic glass filler into Calixto’s buttocks – more than the recommended quantity “when the recommendation is for use in small doses and with restrictions”.
