A West Virginia woman died after suffering a “fat embolism” while undergoing plastic surgery to increase the size of her gluteal region.
Heather Meadows, a 29-year-old mother of two, was killed by fat particles that entered her bloodstream through a vein during a lipid transfer procedure. The fat particles clogged arteries in her heart and lungs, causing cascading organ failure and death.
She was taken to an emergency room after going into cardiac arrest during the cosmetic surgery and was pronounced dead on arrival.
This fat transfer procedure is common in what is called a “Brazilian butt lift,” where liposuction is performed on the torso and reallocated into the buttocks.
NBC 6 spoke with Meadows’ mother over the phone, who said she is distraught by the death of her daughter and is caring for her two young children.
Meadows’ mother has also hired an attorney to investigate the incident and take legal action if the clinic is found to be at fault.
Though, according to NBC 6, Meadows had a heart defect and her death has been ruled as accidental. Meadows’ mother said she was unaware of the birth defect.
This skirts the edge of farce ... but a young woman is dead, and her two children apparently have no fathers worth mentioning. They will be reared, for now, by the grandmother who reared the mother who died for a fatter butt.
This is, if not the majority situation in our country, very close to it.
I feel bad for this woman. She senselessly died trying to be a part of the large ass fad that swept the nation after the First Wookie occupied the Oval Office with her idiot husband.
These plastic surgeons are going to make a killing performing liposuction on all of those obese asses they installed these past few years. That’ll be on top of the billions they make removing tattoos (I have nothing against tattoos personally ... I just think the whole thing has gone a bit overboard in recent times).
#4 for a chuckle
She has the heart of an ass....
I hate when I’m all excited about getting my new big butt and then I die of a fat embolism.
Death don’t you come knocking during my Brazilian Butt Lift.
She died of ass-fix-iation.
Another sad case of trying to fix what is not broken
LOL, well she was in-fat-uated with having a big butt.
I see what you did there!
Wow, go through the posters on that thread.
Notice how many have been banned or suspended since they commented on that post!

Dumb way to die.

Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round
Sad that so many people feel compelled to risk invasive surgery for pure vanity
Soon, Encore will be no more.
