SA Woman Dies During Liposuction ... Get liposuction done in reputed hospitals in Nagpur!

SAN ANTONIO -- Lisa Marie Martinez, a 32-year-old mother of three young boys, went in to have liposuction April 14 and didn't survive.

Martinez went to Dr. Robert Young, with Aesthetic Enhancement of San Antonio.

According to the medical examiner's report, Martinez died as a result of the procedure.

The medical examiner listed the cause of death as, "Intra-abdominal hemorrhaging due to a perforated aorta, due to a liposuction procedure."

KSAT-12's attempts to reach Young for comment were unsuccessful.

According to Dr. Michael Decherd, president of the San Antonio International Society of Plastic Surgeons, liposuction is generally considered a very safe procedure, but those considering it should do their homework.

"Ask was the doctor a reputable doctor? Were normal safety protocols employed? If somebody went to a good doctor and something bad happened, well, sometimes bad things happen," Decherd said.

Young has been a practicing plastic surgeon since 1983 and is board-certified.

The Martinez family has hired attorney Joe Gonzales.

Gonzales said they are currently considering their legal options.

See the full gallery on Posterous That’s the message of today’s article, which could be headlined Joint Economics. If you are one of the more than 400,000 people a year who have already had one or more hips or knees replaced — or someone who already has no choice but to consider joining their ranks — we offer our sympathies or encouragement or even congratulations, depending on how you are faring. But this column is for people who are not yet destined to necessarily become part of those statistics. Although the human body has an amazing capacity to repair itself, our joints are surprisingly fragile. When the cartilage that cushions bones wears away, it does not grow back. Thinning cartilage contributes to osteoarthritis , also known as degenerative arthritis , a painful and often debilitating condition. Over time, arthritic joints can become so sore and inflamed that they need to be replaced with mechanical substitutes. A result: more pain, at least in the short
