Loralee Reach 245 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 UK woman dies after 'buttocks enhancement' at American hotel A British woman has died after undergoing a 'buttocks injection' procedure in America. Claudia Adusei, 20, died in a Pennsylvanian hospital after receiving the injection of silicone. Police are now investigating her death and say that the procedure, which may have been arranged over the internet, took place in a hotel near Philadelphia International Airport. They are questioning a woman thought to have helped arrange the appointment and are looking for a man who carried out the procedure. Buttocks enhancing treatment involves injected liquid silicone into the body to create a more rounded shape - something which is banned for cosmetic purposes is the UK, America and a number of other countries The treatment is growing in popularity in the US and there have been reports of black market 'pum-up parties' where women (and some transgender men) inject themselves at home using DIY kits bought over the internet. Paul Harris, plastic surgery consultant at the Royal Marsden hospital in London, told the BBC: "Bottom augmentation is becoming more popular and originated in South America, in places like Brazil." "Despite recent changes in regulation, there are still patients who take part in medical tourism and go outside the UK," he added. He explained that the body may attempt to ward off silicone when it is injected in small amounts, causing damage to surrounding tissue. "Elsewhere in the world it has been reported to cause problems with pulmonary embolism - a blood clot to the lungs - which may have happened in this most recent case," he added.

Luscious Laurel 205 Report post Posted February 13, 2011 What a shame! So young to have died for something seemingly trivial. Her parents must be heartbroken! Injection of silicon directly into the body was discovered to be a problem in the 60s already! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kubrickfan 12836 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 Apparently, according to the media here in the United States, the silicone used was the same sort sold at hardware stores as silicone caulking sealant for bathrooms, etc.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
