They do so without considering the severe side effects of their actions.
Over the years, many local and international celebrities have managed to enjoy their youthful days with body surgeries but later lived to regret their past decision.
A previous report by Mail Online revealed that at least 150 women have died from buttocks implants between 2011 and 2015.
A 45-year-old Venezuelan woman who also underwent the surgery said testified to its horror nature by saying: “It hurts so much I can’t sit down for even five minutes.”
The inability to sit for long is one of the severe side effect of the ass surgery.
The synthetic substance injected into the buttocks during the process has been found to be unstable and could move to any part of the body, which could result in deformity or even death.
It sometimes finds it way to the lungs hence blocking blood flow to and from the lungs which is one of the most important organs that keeps us breathing and alive.
A consultant endocrinologist, Dr. Michael Olamoyegun on this particular topic said:
“The major complications associated with it include haemorrhage (bleeding) during surgery, there can be infections, the implant being inserted into the body is a foreign material to the body, so it can cause allergy as well as attract infection. So, some people can react to the implant; it’s usually a synthetic material which if not matching with your body blood stereo will eventually lead to cancer that’s not curable.
“There can be rejection of the implant by the body, but the most feared complication is the rupture of that implant. Once it ruptures, it causes ulceration, which can lead to necrosis, in which case the blood supply to that region could be cut off.”
Necrosis occurs when the cells in an organ or tissue dies in the body due to disease, injury, or failure of blood supply.
He further adds that after along period of time approximately 5 and above years the victim has higher chances of developing an incurable cancer that is associated with lots of pain and suffering for the rest of her life.
Dr. Michael Olamoyegun said the complications apply to both breasts and butt implant
“but the ulceration could be more for butt implant, because the size of the implant put in the butt is bigger than the one in the breasts. So, the failure is higher in the butt than in the breasts. The same thing with the ulceration and necrosis.”
