Ex beauty queen dies after cosmetic surgery

A 38-year-old former Miss Argentina has died from complications after undergoing cosmetic surgery on her buttocks.

Solange Magnano, a mother of twins who won the crown in 1994, died of a pulmonary embolism on Sunday after three days in critical condition following a gluteoplasty in Buenos Aires.

Close friend Roberto Piazza said the procedure involved injections and the liquid "went to her lungs and brain."

"A woman who had everything lost her life to have a slightly firmer behind," he said.

Solange's burial on Monday was shown on Argentine television.

Dr Gondola Courts y Triton said she arrived at his hospital with an acute respiratory deficiency. Her condition deteriorated until she suffered the embolism.

More and more people are becoming fond of plastic surgery. You see a wrinkle, even a tiny one, and that means a facelift is due. People are getting far too obsessed with how they're going to look in their coffins, because they want the worms to think they're gorgeous, which leads to cash advances for what amounts to polishing the brass on the Titanic.

Solange Magnano, for instance, is a perfect example. She basically gave up her life, leaving behind a husband and 7-year-old twins, just to have a firmer behind. I feel really sad for the twins because I know the feeling of a child being left by the mother.
