Colombian actress Amada Rosa Pérez has publicly described what she calls a devastating experience with biopolymer injections and subsequent corrective surgeries, alleging she was “mutilated” by the procedures. The actress detailed her ordeal in recent interviews, sparking renewed scrutiny of unregulated cosmetic practices in Colombia and beyond.
Pérez’s case centers on the use of biopolymers – synthetic, non-biodegradable substances often injected to augment body parts. Whereas offering a cheaper alternative to traditional implants, biopolymers carry significant risks, including infection, migration of the substance, and severe disfigurement. According to Pérez, the initial injections led to complications requiring numerous surgeries, which she claims only exacerbated the damage.
“I was mutilated,” Pérez stated, as reported by Infobae. She alleges that the procedures left her with lasting physical and emotional scars. The actress’s public statements have ignited a debate about the accessibility and regulation of cosmetic enhancements, particularly in countries where medical tourism is prevalent.
The specific details of Pérez’s initial procedures and the subsequent corrective surgeries remain largely focused on her personal account. However, her experience highlights a broader concern regarding the potential dangers of seeking cosmetic treatments without thorough vetting of practitioners and the substances used. The case has prompted calls for stricter oversight of the cosmetic surgery industry and increased awareness among individuals considering such procedures.
As of February 12, 2026, Colombian health authorities have not issued a formal statement directly addressing Pérez’s allegations. Further investigation into the specific medical facilities and practitioners involved in her case is ongoing, according to reports.
