Beauty Queen Dies After Cosmetic Surgery on Her Buttocks

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

I found this article on Foxnews And it is a pretty short story, but really pretty sad because it is about the death of an Argentina woman who underwent elective surgery to increase the firmness of her buttocks and suffered a complication as a result of the needless surgery.


I get so troubled when I hear of a death of a perfectly healthy person taking the risk of surgery so lightly that they would rather take a chance at death in order to improve their looks. Any elective surgery is dangerous and people should think long and hard if the procedure is worth risking death for. This woman probably had previously undergone other surgeries and did not think a thing about this latest procedure. I bet the last thing on her mind going to surgery was that she would never wake up.


I can not imagine why such a beautiful woman would think that her buttocks would need an improvement. She was either very vain or very insecure or very desperate to maybe keep a job that required keeping perfect bodily proportions. Even a close friend of hers said, "A woman who had everything lost her life to have a slightly firmer behind" This woman was a former beauty queen of Argentina in 1994 and was also a mother of twins so I can’t imagine why she would put herself at risk. Maybe it was because she was getting older as the article said she was 38 years old and she did not like the changes her body was going through. It seems like after 30 the body does not cooperate as well and tends to start losing shape. She was getting close to 40 and no matter how hard she might try to keep up with plastic surgery her body was going to continue to change and all the plastic surgery in the world is not going to stop time. I occasionally watch plastic surgery shows on TV and most of the results I think looks very unnatural. Particularly the tummy tucks. I don’t care how good the plastic surgeon is, they can not recreate the belly button position or the natural curves that women were born with. The other thing reported in this article was that the woman arrived in a hospital which makes me wonder if she was in one of those outpatient surgery centers where they are not equipped to handle extreme medical conditions that might develop during surgery. I think it is crazy to have surgery anywhere except a hospital where immediate emergency care can be provided. This woman had respiratory complications and was in intensive care for 3 days before she finally died of a pulmonary embolism which is one of the risks of having any surgery. The same close friend was reported as saying, “the procedure involved injections and the liquid "went to her lungs and brain." which also makes me wonder if she went to a reputable surgeon who knew what they were doing.


I know this may sound harsh but I am glad that she was famous enough to have her funeral publicized on Argentine TV because I hope it serves as a warning to other women who might take the risks of having elective surgery too lightly. It is just such a waste and I really do not think too much of Miss Argentine for her decision. I feel sad for her family.
