Former Miss Argentina Solange Magnano has died after cosmetic surgery. The 38 year old beauty has been having cosmetic surgery to make her buttocks firmer and was rushed to hospital with severe breathing difficulties after the operation.

Magnano died from a blocked lung artery having spent three days in intensive care.

Friends had said that she was obsessed with trying to retain her good looks as her modelling career started to come to an end. The buttock implants were not her first cosmetic surgery – Solange had had cosmetic surgery on her breasts after the birth of her twins.

After having had the gluteoplasty, she was rushed from the private clinic who carried out the operation to a nearby hospital soon after surgery. It was discovered that she had suffered a pulmonary embolism, a complication which subsequently claimed her life.

Around 50,000 cosmetic surgery operations were carried out in Argentina last year, a rise of over 60 percent over the last five years. the massive increase in operations is down to medical tourism where foreigners come to the country for their cosmetic surgery, attracted by the cheap prices on offer.
