March 7) -- At least six women in New Jersey who hoped to plump up their backsides have ended up hospitalized with infections, after a bogus doctor injected their derrieres with a mixture of silicone, petroleum jelly and, perhaps most hazardous, household caulk.
New Jersey health officials said the dangerous mixture had seriously damaging effects.
"What we've been hearing from the hospitals is that these women are presented with deep tissue infections and skin infections," New Jersey Health Department epidemiologist Dr. Tina Tan told the New York Post. "Abscesses form in some cases."
According to the Post report, health officials in New Jersey have warned New York authorities about the phony doctor, who could face criminal charges of practicing medicine without a license. The person reportedly "treated" women from hospitals in New Jersey.
Not only did the women suffer health setbacks in their attempt to gain shapely bottoms, the botched butt enhancements allegedly left them disfigured. A hospital source told the Post their backsides are so cratered and lumpy, they resemble "moonscapes."
