The J Lo Tree

In spite of the misspelled caption, it does look like her, don't you think?

The Quest for the Look

The J.Lo look, that is. A woman died recently after undergoing illegal buttock-enhancement surgery. She and a friend had traveled from London to Philadelphia, and were injected with silicone by a "surgeon" in a hotel room near the airport. The woman developed chest pains and later died in hospital; her friend survived.

The past president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons said: "There was a craze for the [Jennifer Lopez] look for a time, where women wanted more voluminous buttocks and a bit more of a curve."

The alternatives to silicone injections are buttock implants or complex protein injections; both methods are legal but expensive and time-consuming. The silicone substance used in the illegal, unregulated procedure is not approved for use in the US, and is banned in some countries.

The woman in question had undergone a similar procedure a few months ago. How big did she want them to be?
