A BRAZILIAN butt surgeon has been abducted, tied up and shot in the face in a horrific murder suspected to have been revenge for a botched implant operation.

Marcilene Soares Gama was kidnapped from her apartment in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday morning, according to police sources quoted by local media.

The killer entered the apartment before overpowering the 49-year-old Gama, tying her up and forcing her into a car, according to Correio.

She was then shot in the face at point blank range before her body was found dumped on a nearby street hours later.

Cops investigating the cold-blooded killing have said they believe it was carried out by a vengeful former client.

Chief investigator Fabio Cardoso told O Globo newspaper: “Forensic experts concluded that she was shot in the face at close range, which is usually a sign of anger and hatred.”

The mum-of-two had been accused by a string of clients of botching buttock surgeries by using industrial silicone for the ops.

At least ten women are known to have come forward to say their bodies had been ruined by procedures carried out by Gama.

She was twice arrested after complaints were made to police about her pretending to be a doctor, according to the BBC.

But she reportedly continued to practice even after being released by cops.

Gama’s family, however, deny she ever lied about her background, insisting her clients were always warned of the dangers.

Her brother-in-law Daniel Mofacto said: “She never said she was a surgeon. People knew the risks but they went ahead anyway.”

Brazil is one of the world’s biggest markets for plastic surgery, with butt lifts being one of the most popular ops — partially fuelled by the Miss BumBum phenomenon.

The huge rise in demand over recent years has led to a spread in backstreet clinics carrying out unregulated procedures for knockdown prices.
