The Things We Do For Beauty – Woman Dies After Injecting Beef Fat As Botox Substitute
Many of us long for tight, beautiful skin ... and some of us choose the frugal, do-it-yourself option to get those results. But sometimes vanity and frugality can be a deadly combination.
An Illinois woman died after injecting hot beef fat into her face, hoping that it would mimic the effects of Botox. But instead, she quickly complained of a burning sensation all over her face and then died of a bacterial infection shortly after her arrival at the hospital.
Oddly enough, doctors say her death wasn't related to the injections.
Even though she had infections and scarring of her mouth and lips as a result of the do-it-yourself procedure, an autopsy found her death was actually a result of peritonitis, an inflammation of the abdomen's inner wall, and unrelated to the beef fat injections.
But I still think it's still safe to say that you should keep the beef fat in the winter stew ... and out of the syringe!
