An unfortunate announcement has been made for Argentina. The former Miss Argentina has recently passed away. She died from complications of plastic surgery. There is report that it was announced on Facebook and many of her fans were shocked and hurt from the News. Any of the quotes talk about how she was already so beautiful why did she think she needed surgery. Her name is Solange Magnano she was 37 years old and the mother of 7 year old twins. Prior to being Miss Argentina she was also a model. There is still an investigation going on about her death. Plastic surgery in Argentina is very common. 1 in every 30 Argentines undergo surgery.
This is very unfortunate. Even though people are not sure how this surgery went wrong. I am still sad that this was not a surgery she did not even need in the first place and it took her life. I am curious to know if she was warned about any possible risk. Medical tourism according to the article is growing exponentially. It is 100 billion dollar global industry. I think it is horrible that a woman who is suppose to be a model to other young women went to undergo plastic surgery in the first place. It makes the idea of beauty so fake. I think this is a sad story but I think it is something people should discuss because no matter how sad we get over this situation it was still an avoidable death. With Globalization I think this universal beauty is becoming a problem on self esteems of women around the world.

I think media focusing on these kinds of things instead of real global issues like disease, war, etc is sad and unfortunate. It is absurd how much people care about the lives of these celebrities so much and don't even know them.
But yes, it does certainly say something about the standards for beauty in our society.
I agree with Alexa, about the media coverage. Although it is sad, there are far more important things going on in the world.
i agree as well. there are better things that we should be worrying about than celebrities
I agree that this is really sad. I am not a huge supporter of cosmetic plastic surgery, but i am very grateful for plastic surgery. I've had 3 plastic surgeries since I had a bike accident when I was 8. It is not something I would have chosen for myself and it makes me sad that people actually do go under the knife when they don't have to. The fact that she died from it is so depressing. Why would anyone so naturally beautiful do something like that?
I agree. It is sad that plastic surgery has become such an obsession with people these days. The media now does put all its focus into less important issues like this but it is something people need to be aware of since more and more people are doing it. Maybe Miss Argentina's story will make people think twice before going under the knife.
