Madrid – A Spanish man has been arrested and accused of using veterinary equipment to perform cosmetic surgery.
Catalonian regional police say they arrested the 63-year-old Barcelona native for allegedly practicing medicine without a license in filthy conditions at his home. The police statement says the illegitimate doctor worked in the company of his three dogs, a cat and a parrot.
The police say in a statement released this past Wednesday that the man charged his human patients between €250 and €500 ($330 and $660, USD) to perform breast augmentation and buttock implants, using veterinary tools normally used to inject animals.
It is also believed the man was administering direct injections of liquid silicone, without the benefit of using actual implants.
Police arrested the man on Friday after authorities received a complaint about a defective breast implant.
