"The tragic case of MarÃa Paz Peñaloza underscores the dire consequences of undergoing illegal cosmetic procedures, emphasizing the absolute necessity for licensed medical professionals."
"Authorities reported that Peñaloza's death was a result of lidocaine toxicity, an overdose from the unregulated procedure performed by Felipe Hoyos-Foronda."
MarÃa Paz Peñaloza, a 31-year-old mother from Whitestone, died after undergoing an illegal buttock implant removal at an unlicensed clinic in Astoria. The procedure, performed by Felipe Hoyos-Foronda, who is not a licensed medical professional, led to her suffering from lidocaine toxicity, causing cardiac arrest. She remained on life support for two weeks before passing away. Hoyos-Foronda fled the scene but was later arrested while attempting to board a flight to Colombia. He faces charges including second-degree assault and unauthorized practice of a profession, with the potential for more serious charges as the investigation continues.
