As women age, they start worrying about sagging skin and things not being as perky as when they were in their 20’s. Alejandra Guzmán turns 48 today and she underwent butt surgery back in 2009, which went horribly wrong. Due to complications from the botched surgery, she suffers from chemical panniculitis, which is the inflammation of fatty tissue. The singer had polymers infected in her buttocks, which spread to other parts of her body causing a major infection.

Guzmán underwent about 20 surgeries in her hips and buttocks and has a suffered a great deal of pain just because she wanted to look good for her then boyfriend. “Sometimes you have to learn to say no to many things and make sacrifices,” she said in an interview with Estilo DF. La Guzmán is such a beautiful woman who is constantly hitting the gym hard, which is why many people ask why she did it? Every woman has moments when they feel like they’re not as beautiful as they used to be, but it’s important to embrace their bodies as they’re aging because that’s a beautiful thing.
“I’m a person that is sensible, but strong. I describe myself as someone who is looking for happiness, that loves to create art, to produce ideas and touch people’s fibers in their hearts; that’s what I was born to do, to transmit these sensations,” she says. La Guzmán says that she always tells people to do what they love.
Her number one love is her daughter Frida, which is what makes her the happiest because she makes her feel good. “Sometimes we don’t appreciate things until you lose them, and now my health is my priority because without it you can’t do anything,” says Guzmán. She had a prosthesis implanted in the affected area and she had to relearn to walk and even had to use a cane. Now that she’s regained her health, she thinks about the mistake she did and how she learned a very difficult lesson. She never hid it from her fans, in part because she wanted them to learn from her mistake, which was a very painful one, that to this day, she’s still undergoing treatment.
Guzmán continues to look amazing at almost 50 years old and she continues to hit her workouts hard. She does 40 minutes in the elliptical machine; she does ab workouts, strength-training and Pilates. “I don’t think you’re going to get rid of me that easy, as long as I have my health, the energy to do shows, the creativity and continue to reinvent myself, that’s enough,” she says.
She certainly looks amazing and part of getting older is learning from your mistakes, something that everyone can learn from and learn to embrace the natural aging process. There are so many things that can keep you looking younger, such as eating right, moisturizing, drinking water and hitting your workout hard like she does.
