Former Miss Argentina Dies after Plastic Surgery

Solange Magnano, crowned Miss Argentina in 1994, died over the weekend after receiving surgery for a gluteoplasty, or, in layman's terms, "butt implants." The cosmetic procedure went horribly wrong the day after the surgery, when the liquid injected into Magnano's buttocks "went to her lungs and brain," causing a pulmonary embolism - a blocked artery in the lung. She died after spending three days in critical condition. The former beauty queen was only 38, and the mother of 7-year-old twins. The official cause of death is currently still under investigation.

Magnano's close friend Roberto Piazza stated about the tragedy: "A woman who had everything lost her life to have a slightly firmer behind." Her untimely death is sure to serve as a warning about the risks that come with surgery of any kind, let alone elective procedures.

Self Image Issues Effect Everyone, Even Kathy Griffin

In People magazine, actress and comedian Kathy Griffin opens up about a career long struggle with her self image and weight issues. According to Griffin, she has been advised throughout her entire career to get her nose fixed and maintain a sleek, slender figure.

"I was told repeatedly, 'You would be pretty if it weren't for that nose. You'd work more if it weren't for that nose.' You would think I had a nose the size of Texas. I was young and impressionable and started to believe it, so I got a nose job," Griffin tells People.
In recent months, Kathy Griffin's freshly toned body has been plastered on magazine covers. She even began making television appearances touring her house in a bikini to show off all the work she has done (or that she's had done, either way.)

What mixed message is Kathy Griffin sending to women today? Griffin admits, even brags, about the Joan Rivers-esque amount of plastic surgery she has endured. Even with several procedures under her belt (no pun intended) she says that it's a daily struggle to maintain her workout regime and strict diet.

If more celebrities would work to stop the misconception that being malnourished, underweight, and overexercised is acceptable in society, poor self esteem issues wouldn't affect women to the extreme that it does today. Kathy Griffin takes an honest standpoint about her past experiences with beauty issues and discusses them candidly with People magazine.
