BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — 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 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.
Magnano's burial Monday was shown on Argentine television.
Dr. Gonzalo Cortes y Tristan said she arrived at his hospital with
an acute respiratory deficiency. Her condition deteriorated until
she suffered the embolism.
