14-Year-Old Paloma Nicole Arellano Escobedo Tragically Dies After Unauthorized Breast Augmentation Surgery in Durango, Mexico
Paloma Nicole Arellano Escobedo, a 14-year-old girl, passed away on September 20, 2025, in Durango, Mexico, after allegedly undergoing an unauthorized breast enlargement surgery.
The surgery, which Paloma’s father, Carlos Arellano, claims was performed without his knowledge or consent, has sparked outrage and raised serious ethical and legal concerns.
According to her father, he only discovered the surgery after Paloma's funeral when he noticed surgical scars on her body. The official death certificate cites cerebral edema caused by a respiratory illness as the cause of death. However, Carlos Arellano believes the surgery was the true cause of her passing, and he has filed a formal complaint accusing authorities of issuing a false death certificate to cover up the incident.
An investigation has been launched by the Durango Prosecutor’s Office to examine the circumstances surrounding Paloma’s death and the individuals responsible for the surgery. This case has sparked a conversation about the dangers of unauthorized cosmetic procedures, particularly those involving minors.
The tragic loss of Paloma Nicole Arellano Escobedo has left the community in mourning, and her father is demanding justice and accountability for the events that led to her untimely death.
