The Colombian influencer Adriana Manotas Rodríguez died after undergoing a procedure aesthetic in an establishment that, according to authorities, operated without the license or health authorizations required in Bogotá. The woman was 52 years old and was known for sharing lifestyle content on social networks, where she accumulated more than 23 thousand followers on Facebook.
According to Colombian media reports, Manotas went to the clandestine center to undergo liposuction. However, during the process she presented health complications that forced her emergency transfer to a Red Cross headquarters, where she was later declared dead.
After the death, the authorities raided the establishment located in the Muzú neighborhood, in the town of Puente Aranda. The inspection confirmed that the place was not registered as a health service provider, it lacked authorization to perform medical procedures and the person listed as procesal representative was not authorized to practice as a health professional. In addition, surgical supplies and biological waste were found, evidence that suggests that invasive interventions were carried out there illegally.

The maduro of Bogotá, Carlos Fernando Galán, regretted the death of the influencer and pointed out that preliminary information indicates that the procedure was carried out in a completely clandestine establishment. Meanwhile, the District Health Secretariat ordered the closure of the center and the authorities continue investigations to establish the corresponding responsibilities.
The case has revived the debate in Colombia about the risks of undergoing cosmetic procedures in unauthorized establishments and the need to strengthen controls against so-called «clandestine clinics», which continue to operate despite the sanctions imposed by the authorities.
