PokeHer Face

 
I know economic times are tough, but if you want a cosmetic procedure, I recommend you go to a professional instead of taking matters into your own hands. 63 year old Janet Hardt was trying to save a little money by formulating a homemade version of Botox. She took fat she extracted from boiled beef, and injected it into her face. Hardt became obsessed with her wrinkle smoothing concoction. Even though she had done this several times before, Thursday, Sept 8th was her last time. Later that day, she went to the hospital complaining her face was burning and died hours later. Actually, she didn't die from her DIY cosmetic procedure, she died from a bacterial infection caused by weakened walls in her colon. Although the melted animal fat injections smoothed her skin, those who knew her claim she traded wrinkles for grotesque scars. Even though she didn't actually die from the self injections, her death raises awareness to the extremes people are going to for beauty.
