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.
