Gabriel Medina, a surfer and friend of Andrade shared her thoughts on cosmetic surgeries as she said, “Today I lost a friend to ‘simple’ cosmetic procedures. The world is surreal, people.

I can’t understand it.”

She added, “We are young, we have many other ways of feeling good, healthy, beautiful… If I can give you one piece of advice, we need to go back to showing reality in everything. That’s who we are, period. This fake world is going to end up killing more and more young people.”
