Solange Magnano really did have a butt to die for, it seems. The former Miss Argentina, model, and modeling agency owner died this week after a freak medical complication involving a cosmetic surgery procedure to improve her -- for lack of a more descriptive term -- ass. Was it asinine for the already gorgeous celebrity to put herself at risk of death simply to look younger, smoother, and more aesthetically proportioned? Expressing a sad cry of outrage, it seems her family and fans think yes.
ARGENTINIAN CELEBRITY DIES AFTER FAILED BUTT LIFT SURGERY
The 37 year old mother of seven year old twins was seeking to have her backside enhanced. In a surgical procedure that involved fluid injections to firm up the rear, somehow the fluids used to augment tushy tissue made their way into the South American celebrity's bloodstream.
The Huffington Post reports, "Solange Magnano, a [former Miss Argentina] who won the crown in 1994, died of a pulmonary embolism Sunday after three days in critical condition following a gluteoplasty in Buenos Aires."
As any medical professional knows, injecting any sort of toxic material directly into the bloodstream will cause it to travel fairly quickly into the brain, heart, and lungs. In the truly tragic case of the lovely Magnano, that's exactly what happened.
Friend Robert Piazza says, "A woman who had everything lost her life to have a slightly firmer behind." He went on to explain that the supermodel died after the butt firming injections inadvertently entered her bloodstream, causing a flooding of her vital organs, their eventual shutdown, and her untimely death.
MORE ABOUT PLASTIC SURGERY PROCEDURES IN ARGENTINA
Whether or not there was any malpractice involved in the death of Solange Magnano is currently under investigation by Argentinian authorities.
In recent years, Argentina has become a plastic surgery hot spot for celebrities and the world's international vain. The reasons the South American country has become a mecca for those seeking beauty enhancements is not because the quality of the medical treatments are better -- it is because (oddly enough) procedure costs there have been cut.
CNN writes,
Argentina has become an international destination for plastic surgery. The costs of such procedures there are much lower than in other countries.
Estimates say that 1 in 30 Argentines has gone under the knife, making surgeons here some of the most experienced on the globe.
Medical tourism has seen a huge jump over the past decade, and is projected to be a $100 billion global industry by 2010, according to the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions.
Shocked fans have flooded the Internet with photo requests to see pics of the recently deceased celeb. They have even started a tribute facebook page to commemorate the star and leave condolences to the fallen beauty's family members and close personal friends.

What a very vain thing to do. My daughter has a terrible problem with the appearance of her backside but she has children to think about. If she did have this surgery that she wants to have to make herself more attractive to the men she dates, what would happen to her children if she died? The family would not know what to do, and I am too old to help raise so many young grandchildren as my own kids. I'm advising her not to have plastic surgery and sharing this article with her and my daughters fiends. -- concerned mom
