Rheumatoid Arthritis

Following the death of a former Miss Argentina after complications arising from plastic surgery, questions are being raised about the risks of cosmetic surgery.
Solange Magnano, 37, died in hospital, after being transferred from a clinic where she underwent an elective surgery on her buttocks last Wednesday.
Nigel Mercer, president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, last month described the cosmetic surgery industry an “unregulated mess” in the journal Clinical Risk.
Following revelations of Magnano’s death, he told CNN, “Unfortunately, the things we’re saying about this type of surgery keep being proven right by people having major disasters.”
Magnano is reported to have died from a pulmonary embolism, a blockage of the blood supply to lungs.
It is currently not known if Magnano’s death was a result of her surgery and there is no suggestion that it came about through surgical error, but there are risks associated with buttock-enhancement surgery.
