However, Maria began to experience severe pain and dizziness just hours after the op.
Her health deteriorated over the subsequent days and she was taken to the hospital in Neiva, Colombia, eight days after the surgery.
Maria, who originally came from the coastal city of Ciénaga, went into cardiac arrest and subsequently suffered multiple organ failure, as reported by Need To Know.
Five days later, doctors confirmed that she was brain dead, possibly caused by a lack of oxygen to several vital organs.
Given the severity of her condition, doctors placed her on a life support system, but she showed no signs of improvement.
Her family made the decision to disconnect the medical equipment nine days after the cosmetic procedures and her death was confirmed.
Her father said the clinic failed to provide them with sufficient information before and after the operation.
An investigation has been launched.
