Woman Tried Her Own Breast Augmentation

Many women, at one point or another, express the wish for a bigger derrière, while others desire to have a full bust line, or sometimes both. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the cost of breast and butt implants can range from $3,500 to $5,000, but some women choose riskier and more unusual black market operations to achieve their ideal body types. Sonia Perez Llanzon, an Argentine mother and athlete who was 39 years old, paid a high price for beauty when she performed a do-it-yourself (DIY) boob procedure on herself that resulted in her death.

There's probably never a good moment to do surgery on yourself. Sometimes it was done simply because a surgeon had the necessary competence, other times it was done obviously out of need. However, when a regular person tries to do surgery, it may indicate a much more serious mental health problem or a serious lack of awareness of the possible outcomes.

An Argentinian woman attempted a breast augmentation on herself in 2014. Vaseline was injected into her own chest to do this. She started having breathing issues shortly after the operation ran into difficulty. She initially denied knowing anything about what had occurred and kept her actions from the doctors. Later, she came clean about it, but it was already too late. She got a blood clot that killed her.
