VietNamNet Bridge – Being disparaged by his friends for having flat buttocks, Tri, 21, bought 500 cc of liquid silicon to inject into his buttock. The man died at a HCM City’s hospital last weekend.

 
Doctors of the Trung Vuong Hospital said the young man was brought to hospital with a swollen buttock and he was in a coma.

 

“We immediately performed a surgery to remove the silicon but a large volume of silicon had absorbed into his blood vessels and adipose tissues so the treatment was helpless. The patient got weaker due to respiratory failure and died,” a doctor said.

 

Doctors said that the large volume of silicon injected into the patient’s body caused lung failure.

 

They warned people to not self “upgrade” their faces, lips, busts or buttocks by silicon because the risk of fatality is up to 50 percent.

 

“Making a body part bigger is not simple as someone thought that they only need to inject silicon into it,” a doctor said.
