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.

I just had to post this. Dying for stupid vanity. The best from the comments section in the paper: "Someone needs to get to the bottom of this tragic story."

Let the comments begin!

“...after undergoing cosmetic surgery on her buttocks...”

Brain surgery can indeed be very tricky.

Sadly, she will be the butt of many jokes...

Just sayin’...

I'll pass on the opportunity to make a pun on someone's death, but this does bring up the question of where she went to have the work done. I kind of wonder if she went to a fly by night type cheap clinic or an Argentinian equivalent of a board certified plastic surgeon. I'm guessing the former. One of the people where I work admitted to going to south america for plastic surgery because it was so much cheaper than surgery here. (and no I don't think she looks great. She has what appear to be 38 double Ds that make her look like she's going to fall over any minute.)

Saving money is a good thing, but cutting corners where surgery is involved is not the smartest thing in the world.

Somebody dying in early death. Hilarious. Go to Hell.

So this is her picture? I don’t even find her that beautiful. I mean, she’s pretty, but not so beautiful to be a pageant winner IMO.

We have some real comedians here, don’t we?

[Larry Lucido]

Very sad.

But none funnier than you and your tagline. lol

When did we start making fun of a person's death at FR??...guess I must have missed that memo...

Prayers for Solange Magnano and family.
