A female comedian and influencer was forced to have her buttocks amputated after fillers injected into her rear leaked.
Mexican performer Yered Licona, known to her two million Instagram followers as Wanders Lover, says polymers injected into her rear end without her knowledge had suddenly solidified on a plane to Canada.
Yered had been on a visit to her daughter when she realised her backside was feeling odd.
She told local media: 'I was flying to Canada and started feeling something was wrong on the plane.
'It started to hurt and I went to the bathroom and I felt my bum and it was really hard. I thought to myself "What's going on?"'

Medics later discovered that polymers injected into Yered's backside during a cosmetic procedure had leaked, infecting her tissue.
She said she had been told she was suffering from a rare condition known as ASIA syndrome, which stands for autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants.
It was first identified by the Israeli immunologist Yehuda Shoenfeld who said it was caused by an autoimmune overreaction to substances including silicone.
Victims can suffer from acute pain, fatigue, cognitive problems, neurological issues and a range of other ailments and it can happen anytime from two days to 23 years after exposure to substances that triggers it, such as silicone.
Tragically Yered is unable to see those responsible punished because she is unsure of which stage the silicone was injected into her butt during a number of cosmetic procedures.
She said that the only thing she knew for sure was that she had never agreed to such an operation, and was amazed that during one of the beauty procedures, the substance was injected, causing the disastrous amputation of most of her bottom.
She said: 'I trusted a doctor to tune my body, and without warning they injected polymers into my buttocks, a substance that gave me the Asia Syndrome, which I will have to deal with for the rest of my existence.'
Yered is seen in the footage in hospital in Mexico City where surgeons had to cut out nearly three-quarters of the tissue from her buttocks.

She said: 'They amputated just the upper part, which was around four fingers width from both buttocks.
'That's why I'm devastated, it was an amputation, it was a piece of flesh that was taken from me.
'But I can't point to someone as responsible because I don't know. But at no stage 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.'
