Former Miss Argentina Solange Magnano died earlier this month following a buttock augmentation using injections of a substance known as PMMA. Her tragic loss highlights the need to research any aesthetic procedure thoroughly before going through with it. While all cosmetic surgery carries risks, it is important to know your physician and the methods used and ensure they are safe.

This month saw the "Botax" removed from the proposed health care bill and the "Tantax" added in its place. There was to be a 5% tax placed on all elective cosmetic procedures to help fund the hefty price tag of the bill but there was an uprising of support to stop the Botax. It was called discriminatory and invasive and was replaced by a 10% tax on indoor tanning.
