Naomi Campbell is clearly a fan of the Brazilian...health care system.
The British supermodel was hospitalized in São Paulo, Brazil, Monday night, when she underwent a minor operation to have a small cyst removed, according to her publicist.
"Following the successful procedure, she is now resting and is looking forward to getting back to work," her London-based rep said. "She would like to thank the doctors who have kindly looked after her."
The city's Sirio Libanes hospital, where the 37-year-old catwalker received treatment, issued a statement of its own Tuesday, confirming that Campbell was at the facility, but little more.
"The patient and her advisers have determined that the hospital's medical staff will not issue any formal or informal information on her medical condition," the hospital's statement read.
While the nature of the cyst was not disclosed, the hospital perhaps revealed more than they wished in declaring that the supermodel's physicians were David Uip, one of the nation's top specialists in infectious diseases, and Jose Aristodemo Pinotti, a gynecologist.
While Campbell herself has declined to elaborate whether she was originally in the country for business or pleasure, Uip was quoted by São Paulo's Folha newspaper as saying her trip was purely for medical purposes.
"She came to Brazil for treatment," he told the paper, per the BBC. "She's been here since Sunday."
As it is, the British strutter is no stranger to Brazil, frequently paying visits both on and off the clock to the South American nation. Earlier this month, she touched down in the northeastern city of Salvador to celebrate the infamous Carnival festival.
