Brazilians are devoted to plastic surgery, but they prefer to go under the doctor’s knife in a hospital, and they usually go back to Brazil to do it, many said yesterday in Framingham.

That is why the majority of local Brazilians were surprised to find out about a Brazilian couple performing illegal plastic surgery in the basement of their Framingham condominium, possibly resulting in the death of one patient Sunday night. Maiany Borges, for example, who works at Brazilian Minimarket on Concord Street, said she is saving money to have breast implants and reduce her stomach.
