How much is a better-looking butt worth? Former Miss Argentina Solange Magnano ended up paying with her life. According to The Huffington Post, the 38 year-old mother of twins died of a pulmonary embolism Sunday after three days in critical condition following a gluteoplasty in Buenos Aires.

Dr. Gonzalo Cortes y Tristan said that Solange arrived at his hospital with an acute respiratory deficiency. Her condition deteriorated until she suffered the embolism. If she had a respiratory problem, why did they proceed with the surgery??

A close friend of Solange’s, Roberto Piazza, said the procedure involved injections and the liquid “went to her lungs and brain.” He also said what we’re all thinking: “A woman who had everything lost her life to have a slightly firmer behind.”Normally I’m not against plastic surgery, except for when older women have multiple procedures because they’re trying to fight the inevitable aging process. I think that it’s really easy for naturally thin, perfectly proportioned people to get up on a soapbox and talk about how plastic surgery is morally wrong. Don’t use it to fix your marriage or your life, but if you’d be much happier with a tummy tuck, I say go for it. However, plastic surgery has become so mainstream that I think sometimes we forget that there are risks involved with any surgery. Before going under the knife, remember that something like what happened to Solange could happen to anyone.
