sadly, the truth is that this woman was declined the procedure by another Beverly Hills plastic surgeon a few months back due to a pre-existing condition.
The surgeon who did perform the prcedure has not commented as to whether or not he was made aware of the pre-existing condition.

It horrifies me that someone as educated and successful as Ms. West would feel so desperate and obsessed that she would put her life in danger.
She very much wanted something else for her son and convinced him to get a college degree before attempting a music career. It's as though everything she feared for him, came true for her.
Breaks my heart because so many women who have so much going for them intellectually are still as susceptible to the pressure as an 18-year-old wannabe starlet.

I had a boss a few years back who died while undergoing cosmetic surgery.Then,as now,I took it as a lesson in vanity.

When will Americans realize that we all can't look like super models and movie stars? If men can't handle a women with curves and wrinkles, they are usually too damn stuck on themselves to be worth a minute of your time anyway. And it's usually other women who you are trying to impress because most men that I've talked to don't like a "phoney" looking woman all painted up and looking frozen in the face. I mean really, is it worth dying for?

Mr. West, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Hmmm... that will now be the -fourth- person I have known about who died as a result of liposuction.

It ISN'T the "vacuum the stuff out" procedure that it is made-out to be. It's an extremely dangerous procedure.
