Woman dies after injecting Vaseline into breasts

[Hum]

Many women, at one time or another, express the desire for a bigger derri?re, while others desire to have a full bust line, or sometimes both. While breast implants and butt implants can cost anywhere from $3,500 to $5,000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, several women succumb to more unconventional and dangerous black market procedures to attain their desired physique. Thirty-nine-year-old Argentine athlete and mother Sonia Perez Llanzon paid a hefty price for beauty when she injected Vaseline into her breasts during a do-it-yourself (DIY) boob job that cost her life.

Llanzon was rushed to the Lucio Molas hospital in Santa Rosa, Argentina, just 350 miles southwest of Buenos Aires, after she experienced difficulty breathing, La Capital reported. The athlete was found to have several lesions on both of her breasts as a result of the Vaseline injections. Initially, Llanzon denied any knowledge of what she did but later confessed to the doctors she injected the solution in hopes of making her breasts bigger.

Several weeks after carrying out the dangerous procedure, the amateur runner suffered a fatal blood clot in her lung. The blood clots occurred as a result of the Vaseline entering the woman?s blood stream, which eventually affected her lungs, the doctors said. Llanzon?s death diagnosis was a pulmonary embolism, a sudden blockage in a lung artery.

"In all my medical career, I've never seen a case like this. The human body has antibodies to remove bacteria and viruses, but it hasn't got any mechanisms against this type of product," Julio Pla Cardenas, chief of surgery at Lucio Molas told La Capital. Pla Cardenas mentioned other people are using Vaseline in unconventional forms that is putting their lives in danger. There has also been an increasing number of men injecting themselves with Vaseline to increase their penis size.

Petroleum jelly, the main ingredient in Vaseline, is regarded as safe when used topically to cure dehydrated, flaky skin and diaper rashes. However, petroleum jelly can be found in ?different grades of purity,? Dr. Alan Dattner, founder of Holistic Dermatology.com told The Huffington Post, so users aren?t always aware of how non-toxic their petroleum jelly-based products are. Also, if Vaseline gets into the lungs, it can cause lipid pneumonia, or lung inflammation caused by lipids entering the bronchial tree.

Darwin takes another...but this is what society has become.  You need to have big breasts or chizled abs to be accepted.  Sad really and I tend to steer clear of those kind of people.

I don't really understand the obsession over breast size.

I don't really understand the obsession over breast size.

Agreed. Honestly, over a certain size I'm extremely disinterested...

[Arachno 1D]

Im more attracted to a woman's complete body shape rather than a surgeons art work project

[The Evil Overlord]

I wish there was a way to explain to women, true beauty is what you project, not how you appear (without digging myself a hole)

Not quite as good as the story about the lady who died after someone put caulk in her butt.

Me neither, why women feel the need to look utter ridiculous with big boobs is beyond me  :s  Same goes with the huge bums, why?

[DocM]

Naturally big boobs and buns are fine, I am a T&A guy, but todays plastic pricesses don't cut it. As for DIY mods, suicidal.

[FloatingFatMan]

Eh, more than a handful and you're risking a sprained thumb. ;)

She should have gone with an all in one solution like the Corsair H100i.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

If its more than a mouth full, its a waste. What a shame.

[Arachno 1D]

This always seems to work for most American women

 

[Xerino]

At 6 foot 4 inches, I got pretty big hands ;)

Vaseline are a company, was it petroleum jelly she injected into her ######?

 

It's like when people say Hoover instead of what it is, a vacuum cleaner.

 

Another example, a durex rather than a condom or rubber Johnny.

 

Anyway, if she injected petroleum jelly into her ######, what did she expect.

[Arachno 1D]

Or free speech and America :rolleyes: :laugh:

Yes, Vaseline the petroleum jelly. 

 

This is just bizzare...

[Buttus]

crazy how an athlete, and someone who i assume would be ultra healthy, would do something that stupid...

Probably the same reason men are obsessed with how big their junk is.

 

Society as a whole has created the "perfect body" image that would be socially acceptable for maximum benefit.    The advertisers started this mostly to create jaw dropping advertisements with women that would grab the attention of men.   Fast forward through various trends and expectations, the desirable body image for women is pretty much the same as it was decades ago.  

 

I think this combined with the now extremely easy access to porn, makes any average person be it male or female, desire to have the same qualities as some of the performers as it can subconsciously be perceived as the ideal body to be as desirable as possible to get some action.

Vaseline is a company, that produce petroleum jelly.

 

Me I get the same volume for 99p from the 99 pence shop.

 

Makes my ###### look firm and huge.

My penis is long enough and fat enough, as for ######, more than you can get into ones mouth is merely a waste.
