Wendy Guevara, Mexico's most beloved influencer, is making headlines again after undergoing a new and controversial cosmetic procedure.

In her constant quest to transform her image, "La Perdida" opted this time for rib remodeling, a highly complex surgery designed to reduce the waistline and achieve a A more streamlined silhouette.

According to information published by Infobae, these types of procedures have a variable cost in the Mexican market, regularly ranging between 45,000 and 180,000 pesos. However, in the specific case of the member of “Team Infierno,” sources close to her, such as Aunt Sandra, assure that the total expense amounted to 250,000 Mexican pesos.

A high-impact procedure

The surgery consists of the modification, resection, or filing of the so-called “floating ribs” (the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth pairs). By altering the projection of these bones, a visual narrowing of the torso is achieved that is not possible to attain through exercise or diet alone. Despite the success of the operation, the influencer's health generated concern among her followers due to the inherent risks of this type of surgery, which include possible lung injuries or complications in the healing process. Wendy's postoperative process has required strict pain management, absolute rest, and the use of specialized compression garments. The procedure revealed a health problem. After the intervention, the influencer revealed that she was diagnosed with high blood pressure, a chronic disease where the force of the blood against the arterial walls is too high and sustained, forcing the heart to work harder, which increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney damage. "After the surgery, I found out I have high blood pressure. So now I have to take a pill for my blood pressure every day," the social media star stated. “My blood pressure went up to 250/240,” she said frankly. Following the diagnosis, Wendy assured everyone that she is doing well and is under strict medical supervision.“The doctor treating me told me, ‘Don’t worry, most people have it. Many don’t know it, and that’s why they have sudden heart attacks. It’s nothing to worry about; with this pill, you can live your normal life,’” he emphasized.
