BA Province Bans Free “Boob-Job” Raffles
The Buenos Aires Province Health Ministry this week banned discos from offering free breast augmentation operations to patrons. Local discos had been raffling the operations as a way to get more girls into the clubs.
Last weekend Sunset, a popular club in the northern suburb Olivos, attracted more than 600 girls to such a raffle, according to this article posted on the Ministry’s site.
“Everything that is not prohibited by law is permitted,” Sunset spokesman Fernando Maldonado was quoted as saying here by the daily Crítica. “If this is law, of course we will obey it, and we will have a raffle that gives cash to the winner so that she can decide herself to have an operation if she wants.”
Dance clubs in the provinces of Cordoba, La Rioja and San Juan have also been raffling free boob jobs, says Crítica. The raffles, which had been marketed under the slogan, “I want my boobs,” are increasingly popular. Rodrigo Herrera, a PR agent for such raffles in La Rioja, was quoted this way: “People are tried of car and motorcycle raffles, and they’re looking for something new.”
Popularity: 2% [?]
I believe they weren’t offering the surgery, as I understand you are saying, but the implants only.
Hey Anonymous,
It depends on the club. Some have been offering silicon alone, others the whole package.

CHICAS….
como no saben uds que solo los implantes significa cortar y abrir debajo de los senos, lo cual requiere una intervencion.
Todo aquello que sea una intervencion dentro del cuerpo humano es eso, una intervencion.
Y es esto mismo una cirujia. Menor o mayor.
Muchas veces se hace en forma inexperta, inapropiada, sin tener examenes basicos de laboratorios, sin chequear el tiempo de cohagulacion sanguinea, y sin tener en cuenta factores tales como ser diabetico, o estar bajo quimioterapia, etc…etc…
Muchas han sido las mujeres que han quedado muertas en la mesa de operaciones o que han muerto mas tarde con hemorragias internas….
Me parece muy bien que el ministerio de salud haya prohibido semejante animalada.
Solo un medico capacitado en esa especialidad puede realizar ese tipo de operaciones.
No un masajista, no una peluquera, no un entrenador de gimnasia, no un dentista…..solo un experto, matriculado y especializado en lamateria, que sea medico.

Hola! the health ministry is opposing to this because they are offering the surgery (probably they have some arrangement with a clinic or doctor), not only the implants, and since they have health risks associated they are forbidding them.
