Two good media pieces on silicone “pumping” |
|
Gracie from Queez of Media notes:
We were very lucky and blessed to have Dr. Samir Shureih who probably does more silicone removal on transgendered women than anyone in the states. Anyhoo, it was a wonderful and fact filled show that i thought you may want to make available to your readers who may be considering silicone injections or who wish to have them removed. Here is the episode link.

The New York Times also had a good piece on the practice:
A Cheap, Fast and Possibly Deadly Route to Beauty

It profiles Fiordaliza Pichardo, who died a day after receiving a silicone injection. She had received several earlier ones without dying. The cosmetologist who performed it paid her condolences to the family before fleeing the country.
