Woman dies after injecting her breasts with vaseline.

The cost of vanity! 

A 39-year-old Argentinian woman has died after injecting vaseline into her chest in a bid to increase her breast size.

Sonia Perez Llanzon died several weeks later from a blood clot caused by the Vaseline entering her bloodstream. She was taken to hospital with breathing difficulties and it was discovered that the blood clot had reached her lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.

Julio Pla, Head of Surgery at Lucio Molas Hospital in Santa Rosa, Buenos Aires, 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."

Sonia's 20-year-old son Kevin Berazategui left a touching tribute on her Facebook page, saying: "I will love you for ever. The 20 years I spent by your side were beautiful."

**The cost of vanity! May her soul rest in peace.
