Claudia Aderotimi

This is my very first article for NOLLYWOODGOSSIP.

I’m happy to be  a member of this fast growing news organization.

It’s so sad that my first article has to be bad news or rather news about death but I have to report what’s happening now.

Here is the article. Enjoy!

My heart hurts as yet another human being paid her way to death.  By now you must have heard about the Nigerian student that died of a heart attack after an operation in USA to give her more shapely buttocks. For those that haven’t heard, below is the sad tale.

Claudia Aderotimi, 20, developed chest pains and struggled for breath 12 hours after she had the illegal ‘butt enhancement’ silicone injections at a budget hotel.

She was taken to hospital but died later.

A preliminary examination found the silicone filler had leaked into her bloodstream, leading to heart failure.

American detectives are investigating whether she was treated with cheap ‘industrial’ silicone, normally used as a sealant, rather than medical-grade material used in breast implant surgery.

So fort

It was not the first time Miss Aderotimi had had the procedure.

She is believed to have been treated in November and the latest injection on Monday may have been a ‘top-up’ procedure.

She travelled from London to Philadelphia for the treatment,
accompanied by three friends. According to her friends, she wanted to do the surgery as a present to herself for her 21th birthday, which was due this month.
But she was pronounced dead a day after the surgery.

The aspiring dancer and actress, who was a student at Thames Valley University, checked in to the Hampton Inn motel near Philadelphia International Airport on Monday, where she received the £1,000 injections.

Ms Aderotimi complained of chest pains 12 hours after the procedure and died in hospital from heart failure.
Buttock enhancement surgery is becoming popular in the U.S., among women who aspire to the shapely curves of Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce.

It is only legal when the silicone gel is contained and sealed within an implant. But illegal injections of the material are also widely available from unlicensed back-room medics.

Last night one expert said having a direct injection of silicone gel – long outlawed in the U.S. and Britain, even for breast surgery – is ‘like playing Russian roulette’.

One of Miss Aderotimi’s friends is said to have had the same procedure but survived. Experts warned the silicone could still prove lethal for her in the future if not removed.

Police have searched the homes of the two women ‘doctors’ who injected the silicone and are investigating whether they are part of an organised gang who lure the unwary over the internet.

Miss Aderotimi’s mother, a healthcare assistant at Homerton Hospital in East London, said she was too upset to speak about her daughter’s death.
A neighbour said: ‘We are struggling to cope with what happened. One girl died and one girl lived.’

Miss Aderotimi and her friends flew out to the U.S. on Saturday.

She and another woman checked into room 425 at the Hampton Inn hotel, Philadelphia, a mile from the city’s airport, while her two other friends went to a party in New York. They paid around £100 for the room.

Miss Aderotimi had the buttock injections on Monday – thought to have cost around £1,300 – while her friend had the same procedure along with a hip enhancement treatment.

The ‘doctor’ who injected the silicone left soon after and was not there when Miss Aderotimi began complaining of chest pains.

Paramedics were called to the hotel and she was taken to Mercy Fitzgerald hospital where she died 90 minutes after being admitted on Tuesday.

Miss Aderotimi was born in London of Nigerian parents. Yesterday detectives raided the home of the woman they believed set up the illegal operation.

Computer files, emails and telephone records were seized from the house in Bergen County, New Jersey.

Emails from Miss Aderotimi arranging the procedure were among the material seized, but police said no formal arrests had yet been made.

Dr Rajiv Grover, president-elect of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, said: ‘Buttock augmentation isn’t a very commonly done procedure here, which is probably why these girls have resorted to going abroad.

‘If correctly done, it involves implanting solid silicone implants into the buttock just like breast implants.

‘The correct procedure would be done in a fully equipped, sterile surgical theatre in a hospital and the patient would be fully anaesthetised

Police have searched the homes of the two women ‘doctors’ who injected the silicone and are investigating whether they are part of an organised gang who lure the unwary over the internet.

The Delaware County Medical Examiner is trying to determine if she suffered a heart attack because silicone was injected into her veins.

Talent scout Tee Ali said Ms Aderotimi had sought buttock enhancements to increase her chances of becoming a dancer in hip-hop music videos.

He said: “she went to audition for one video shoot wearing fake booty pants and she got all the attention. But when they found out it was fake she didn’t get asked back.

“It’s such a shame. She thought if she had a big booty she would have been in better videos and been more famous like Nicki Minaj pictured below
