The Appeal of Buttock Enhancement Surgery

Newshour

Available for over a year

A woman has been convicted of murder in the US after illegally injecting silicone into a London dancer three years ago. Padge-Victoria Windslowe travelled to hotel rooms and "pumping parties" to inject women's buttocks using syringes and instant glue. Why do women take these risks? The singer Annastasia Baker is familiar with the demands of the music business and the pressure to look a particular way. Annastasia talked to Newshour about why people risk infection, and even death, to have a fuller-looking backside. (Photo: Thinkstock)
