- Yered Licona says polymers injected into her butt solidified on a plane
A female comedian and influencer was forced to have parts of her buttocks amputated after fillers injected into her butt leaked.
Mexican artist Yered Licona, known to her two million Instagram followers as Wanders Lover, says polymers injected into her butt without her knowledge suddenly solidified on a plane to Canada.
Yered had been visiting her daughter when she realized her backside felt strange.
She told local media: ‘I was flying to Canada and got the feeling something was wrong on the plane.
‘It started to hurt and I went to the bathroom and I felt my butt and it was really hard. I thought to myself, ‘What’s going on?'”

She said she was told she was suffering from a rare condition known as ASIA syndrome, which stands for autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome caused by adjuvants.
Doctors later discovered that polymers injected into Yered’s backside during a cosmetic procedure had leaked and infected her tissue.
She said she was told she was suffering from a rare condition known as ASIA syndrome, which stands for autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome caused by adjuvants.
It was first identified by Israeli immunologist Yehuda Shoenfeld, who said it was caused by an overreaction of the autoimmune system to substances including silicone.
Victims can suffer from acute pain, fatigue, cognitive problems, neurological problems and a range of other conditions. This can happen anytime from two days to 23 years after exposure to substances that cause this, such as silicone.
Tragically, Yered cannot see those responsible being punished because she is unsure at what stage the silicone was injected into her butt during a number of cosmetic procedures.
She said the only thing she knew for sure was that she had never agreed to such an operation, and was surprised that during one of the beauty procedures the drug was injected, causing the disastrous amputation of most of her buttocks.
She said: ‘I trusted a doctor to tune my body, and without warning they injected polymers into my buttocks, a substance that gave me Asia Syndrome, which I will have to deal with for the rest of my existence. ‘
Yered is seen in the footage at a hospital in Mexico City, where surgeons had to cut out almost three-quarters of the tissue from her buttocks.

Social media footage shows the artist smiling bravely as she is wheeled away on a stretcher.
She said: ‘They only amputated the top part, which was about four fingers wide from both buttocks.
‘That’s why I’m devastated, it was an amputation, it was a piece of flesh taken from me.
‘But I can’t point to someone as responsible, because I don’t know. But at no point did anyone say to me, “We’re going to inject this into your body.”
‘Imagine my surprise, I went for a dream body and ended up in a medical nightmare.’
