The result is sometimes a tragedy, like the death of Solance Magnano, a former Miss Argentina.
From a news story.
38-year-old former Miss Argentina Solange Magnano died after complications arising from plastic surgery on her buttocks.
Solange Magnano, the 1994 winner and a mother of 8-year-old twins, died of pulmonary embolism Sunday three days after having a gluteoplasty, a procedure that involves placing implants to enhance firmness. News of her death shocked her fans. The cause of her death was under investigation, the authorities said. Officials said the injected liquid went into her lungs and brain.
In the past half decade, the number of people seeking plastic surgery in Argentina has soared by 60 percent, to around 50,000. Estimates say that 1 in 30 Argentines has gone under the knife, making plastic surgeons in Argentina some of the most experienced on the globe, attracting large number of medical tourists.
Medical tourism in Argentina has seen a huge jump over the past decade, and is projected to be a 100 billion dollar global industry by 2010, according to the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, a U.S. research center focused on trends in the health care system.
What a tremendous waste. Perhaps the worst quote of the story is that the 'injected liquid went into her lungs and brain'.
