Alejandra Guzman is celebrating almost 30 years in the music industry. The singer has had a very successful career, but the one thing that put her life on hold was the butt-enhancing cosmetic surgery which sent her to the hospital and almost ended her life.
“I told the doctor, if you have to cut out my butt cheeks, then cut them off, what I want is to stay alive,” says Alejandra Guzman. She received butt injections to plump her butt, but the chemicals they injected contained dangerous chemicals that were eating away her insides.
“I’ve been suffering 7 years from this, I’ve had 23 surgeries already,” she says. She’s had 2 titanium hip replacements and was on the verge of dying many times. She has a doctor that checks up on her progress periodically because the infection could come back at any time.
“You lose the fear of losing something when the only thing you have left is your life,” she adds. Guzman explains this experience as going through hell. A plastic surgeon injected biopolymers into her buttocks which caused all the damage that she’s sustained. The industrial substance that they injected into her body is used to make glass, plastic, and seals for machinery, it should’ve never been used for that procedure. “Dr. López Infante did a lot of damage and I say that to free my soul because I didn’t know how to help myself,” she says.
She remembers being hospitalized for about 6 months, and by that time she was ready to throw in the towel because she couldn’t take this anymore. “I called my dad and he was at the Mexican National Auditorium and he put my call on speaker and I heard the crowd cheering for me and it felt like they injected life into my body,” she recalls. That’s when she realized how important it was for her to continue to fight for her life. Her passion for music and a supportive audience was what kept her going during that very difficult time.
