Derleya Alves Dead at Age 26: Brazilian Influencer Dies After Breast Augmentation Complications

Brazilian influencer Derleya Alves has reportedly died after complications from a breast augmentation procedure. She was 26.

Multiple outlets reported that Alves got a breast augmentation on February 20. She then began to experience intense abdominal pain, per Daily Mail and The Sun.

Alves went on to have multiple tests and two additional surgeries, where her intestines were repaired. One of her ovaries was also removed.

The content creator, who had more than 27,000 followers on Instagram, died on Saturday, February 28, at Marabá Municipal Hospital in the Brazilian city of Marabá.

The Daily Mail reported that the Marabá Municipal Hospital medical team “identified a possible congenital intestinal abnormality that may have contributed to the severity of her condition.”

While there is no suspicion of medical malpractice, information on Alves’ condition before the operation and her cause of death is pending. An Instagram post shared by local news outlet Carajás Notícias claimed a biopsy report is expected on March 16.

Portal Carajás Notícias reported that the wake and burial honor was held on Sunday, March 1.

One day later, Alves’ sister shared a tribute alongside a series of photos of the pair through the years.

“My love, what can I say about you? An incredible woman, a beautiful woman, a wonderful woman, with a big and generous heart, kind, charismatic, humble, full of joy, always smiling… oh, there are so many things, princess 😢❤️,” Jessica wrote via Instagram on Monday, March 2, translated to English.

She continued, “I am grateful to God for having been born as your sister 🥺🤍 I will miss you so much … you were and always will be my other half, my favorite person in the world 💔😭 It hurts so much to know that I won’t have your GOOD MORNING anymore … it hurt so much to say goodbye to you, I never thought I would have to do this 💔😭 I love you forever and beyond 💔🥺🤍.”

In the comments section, several users shared their condolences. “It still hasn’t sunk in 😢 that this actually happened ❤️😢,” one user wrote, while another added, “May God bring comfort to your heart and to your whole family, princess 🥺❤️🙏🏻.”

In one of Alves’ final social media posts, uploaded on February 22, she shared a series of clips filmed before the surgery.

“I put everything in the hands of my Father in Heaven because without Him I am nothing. I cried a lot…but I knew everything would be alright because I knew God was with me,” she wrote in Portuguese, per People. She captioned the Instagram post, “Another dream coming true.”

In a separate clip, Alves’ mom was seen helping her after the operation.

“Oh my God, her mother is taking care of her with so much affection and love. May God comfort your heart, dear mother, in this moment of pain. 😢😢😢😢😢,” one user wrote in the comments section, while another added, “May God comfort the heart of this mother and all her family. 🥺.”
