Woman Injects Beef Fat Into Wrinkles - Dies

You Want Fries With That?

Obviously She Wasn't Counting Her Cowlories.

Plastic surgery is expensive. And unless you're loaded with cash, you can pretty much forget ever having that freshly swollen and bloated look that's so popular with the kids today. But whatever you do, don't play doctor yourself, like one woman in Illinois who died after trying to mimic botox by injecting her face full of hot beef fat.

63-year-old Janet Hardt of Homewood, Illinois, died after injecting her own face with beef fat. Hardt understandably had a cow, and was taken to the hospital after complaining that her "face felt like it was burning." She died shortly after.

But here's the twist: the injections may not be what killed her.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office performed an autopsy which later revealed that Hardt died of peritonitis, a severe abdominal inflammation brought on by a bacterial infection.

Seems that the hot beef fat she had been routinely putting in her face (Hardt had multiple scars and infections around her lips and mouth) may not have been the source of the infection.

How desperate to look young do you have to be to fry up some ground chuck and pump a syringe full of the greasy drippings into your face?
