The mum-of-two, 34, felt optimistic about her choice to have liposculpture.
The procedure involves moving fat to different areas of the body.
Antonella’s mother was contacted on 20 May – the day of the op – to be told that her daughter was in the intensive care unit.
She was later told Antonella had suffered a cardiac arrest, as reported by Need To Know.
Antonella’s sister, Fiorella Cortéz, rushed to the hospital but there was nothing doctors could do.
Police are currently investigating.
The clinic, near Lima, Peru, has temporarily closed after an inspection by cops allegedly found “irregularities”.
Antonella’s family is demanding answers.
