Argentinian Actress Silvina Luna Passes Away Following Long Struggle with Complications from Failed Plastic Surgery – Investigation Underway
Argentinian actress and former model Silvina Luna has sadly passed away at the age of 43 after facing the repercussions of a botched plastic surgery nearly a decade ago. Luna’s health complications, which originated from the administration of a toxic substance during a cosmetic procedure, eventually led to kidney problems and the need for dialysis sessions. Tragically, Luna’s condition deteriorated to the point where she required a kidney transplant, and she was admitted to the hospital on June 13. Despite her persistent battles with her health, Luna fought on bravely until her demise on August 31 at the Hospital Italiano.
It was revealed that Luna’s family made the heartbreaking decision to disconnect her from life support upon the doctors’ recommendation to intubate her once again. The news of Luna’s passing was confirmed by her lawyer, Fernando Burlando, who expressed deep sorrow over the loss. Luna’s friend, actor Gustavo Conti, took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute, remembering their shared experiences and the bond they shared. The pain of Luna’s unfortunate ending is truly hard to bear.

The origin of Luna’s health struggles can be traced back to a plastic surgery performed by Dr. Anibal Lotocki, who is now facing prosecution for malpractice. The surgical procedure involved the injection of polymethylmethacrylate, a banned substance in Argentina, which had severe consequences for Luna’s well-being. For years, she endured dialysis treatments multiple times a week in order to stay alive. Despite her ongoing struggles, Luna never lost hope and continued to fight.
In 2016, Luna sought the help of Dr. Cristian Perez, who successfully removed the dangerous substance from her body. However, the damage had already been done and Luna developed an autoimmune disease as a result of the surgeries and medications she had undergone. This led to severe kidney failure and, ultimately, her untimely passing.
Dr. Lotocki, who performed the ill-fated surgery on Luna, is not a stranger to controversy, as he has previously been charged with the death of another patient from a surgery he conducted in 2010. The Buenos Aires Attorney General’s Office has initiated an investigation into Luna’s death and has ordered an autopsy to determine the exact cause and circumstances surrounding her tragedy.
Silvina Luna’s passing serves as a reminder of the risks associated with cosmetic procedures and the importance of thorough research and qualified medical professionals. Her story highlights the need for enhanced regulations and oversight in the field of plastic surgery to protect individuals from experiencing similar suffering. Luna’s tragic journey will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the industry as her family, friends, and fans mourn the loss of a talented and courageous actress.
