Prior to her travels to the South American country, more known for its drug trade than corrective surgeries, Quintero said she had tried four times to have the contents injected into her posterior to give its voluptuous shape removed. 

“It is crazy because I remember paying $1500 per section to get these freakin’ silicone injections right? And honestly, four unsuccessful surgeries in the U.S. was almost $80,000 through the years. And now I am here paying more money, but I know that this it,” said Quintero.

Opening up and documenting it all on camera and in the public domain of Instagram and Youtube, according to Estelita it is to spread awareness about the dangers associated with butt implants. 

“The purpose of me filming this video is to hopefully … show all the girls that it is not worth it -don’t freakin’ do it. I had this poison in my body for over eight years I am lucky to be alive right now,” said Qunitero. who then instructed the nurse to showcase a red bag, which was labeled with a radioactive hazard sign, noting that it contained the material that was taken out of her buttocks.

On Monday (June 24) Quintero revealed that her condition had been improving steadily revealing that she no longer had any “drains” associated with the procedure.
