The social media community is mourning the tragic death of Adair Mendes Dutra Junior, known as Júnior Dutra, who died at the age of 31 due to complications from a cosmetic eye surgery called 'cat eyes' or 'foxy eyes'. Performed in March, the operation initially did not raise any alarms, but the health of the young content creator began to deteriorate over time. After facing swelling and bruises, Dutra shared his ordeal on social media, where he documented his visits to dermatologists and his growing respiratory problems, which culminated in his emergency admission to a hospital in São Paulo on October 3.

The influencer's loss has sparked an outcry among friends and colleagues in the world of fashion and social media, who demand justice. The 'cat eyes' trend has been popular among several international celebrities, including Gigi and Bella Hadid and Kylie and Kendall Jenner, but the tragic story of Dutra raises concerns about safety and the risks associated with these cosmetic modifications.
