A woman has died in a hospital in Argentina after she reportedly injected Vaseline into her breasts to make them bigger.

39-year-old Sonia Perez Llanzon, an amateur suffered a fatal blood clot in her lung a month after being admitted to the hospital when she has breathing problems following the procedure.

Llanzon’s 20-year-old son , Kevin Berazategui  was very distraught over his mother’s death. He wrote on his Facebook page

“I will love you for ever.

“The 20 years I spent by your side were beautiful.”

Julio Pla, Head of Surgery at Lucio Molas Hospital where  Llanzon was admitted to said :

“The dead woman arrived at hospital with injuries to her breasts.

“She denied everything at first but then confessed she had injected Vaseline into them.

“I’ve never seen a case like this. The human body has antibodies to remove bacteria and viruses but it hasn’t got any mechanisms against this type of product.

“Other people using vaseline like this are putting themselves in danger.”
