The health of the model and actress Silvina Luna continues in a delicate state, while she remains hospitalized in the Italian Hospital due to the consequences of a mala praxis cosmetic surgeon Hannibal Lotocki.

Although the institution has not yet updated the information in the official report issued on Monday afternoon regarding the current status of the patient, De Brito stated on his Twitter account: “They tried again to take her off the respirator, but they had to back down because has no strength to breathe without mechanical assistance”.
Meanwhile, the model continues to be intubated in intensive care.

What happened to Silvina Luna and why is she hospitalized?
Luna remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Italian Hospital, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Almagro, as a result of the worsening of her state of health as a result of malpractice by the surgeon Lotocki, who was denounced -by Silvina, Gabriela Trenchi, Stephanie Xipolitakis and Pamela Sosa- y sentenced to four years in prison.
The actress has had health problems since 2011, as a result of the intervention carried out by Lotocki, for which he suffered methacrylate poisoning that caused hypercalcemia and kidney failure.
The situation of the model is delicate. As his kidneys don’t work ok for a while should be on dialysis three times a week for four hours. According to Luna herself, weeks ago in a video that she posted on her social networks, will have to undergo a kidney transplant.
However, your admission to the INCUCAI waiting list must wait while a bacteria multiresistant drug called Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) continue to be present in your body.
Days ago, De Brito revealed that doctors believe that it is “a very difficult picture to treat and stabilize”, since “they first have to find the treatment for this bacterium to then be able to do the transplant without any kind of problem”.
What is methacrylate
Polymethacrylate (PMMA) is a synthetic product composed of acrylic microspheres and, in medicine, the resin of this plastic is used to manufacture bone and dental prostheses. In Argentina, the use of methacrylate has been prohibited since 2001 in certain surgeries, such as buttock or calf augmentation, due to the high risk of presenting health complications. It is also used to coat certain tablets to slow the absorption of drugs.
Some of the consequences that the introduction of methacrylate into the body can bring is the migration of the microspheres to certain organs, pulmonary embolisms, kidney or heart failure and general fatigue.
The doctor Aníbal Lotocki has a long history of malpractice complaints and weighs on him a sentence of four years in prison. Some of the public figures who passed through his office and had consequences on his health were Gabriela Trenchi, Stephanie Xipolitakis and Pamela Sosa.
