Lipolaser is a procedure that uses a laser to remove fat, shape the body and reduce cellulite. The liposuction method is considered less invasive and traumatic than the traditional form, which is a surgical procedure that uses suction to remove fat from areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, hips, arms and neck.

The clinic Rivero visited for the Lipolaser procedure was in Cumaná, in the state of Sucre, Venezuela, where she recently moved.
During the evening hours after her visit to the clinic, Rivero fell ill and had difficulty breathing.

Jam Press reported that a family member, Richard Medina, released a video talking about the circumstances of Rivero’s death.
He said they expected an ambulance to take him to hospital at 2:45 a.m.
“I’m shooting in Cumaná, and we can’t get an ambulance,” Medina said. “Ven911 has no oxygen so we can’t get out of here.”
By 4 a.m., Rivero, mother of two young children, had died.
Alexander Larrochele, the doctor who performed the Lipolaser on Rivero at the Marina Plaza shopping center, is under investigation.
