Officials in Florida say as many as 30 people have come forward alleging that they are victims of an unlicensed woman who performed various plastic surgeries on them.

In addition, the Miami Herald reports that Oneal Ron Morris, the transgendered woman who is being charged in the cases, may have performed these fake plastic surgeries throughout the country.

Morris, who is known as “The Duchess,” is accused of injecting patients with potentially deadly concoctions consisting of items including cement and tire sealant in an effort to transform their bodies.

So far, Morris and an accomplice, Corey Eubanks, face charges in two cases.

The original victim in the case, who has not been identified by police, went to an emergency room more than a year ago after suffering from complications caused by injections she received to enhance her buttocks including severe abdominal pain, infected sores and flu-like symptoms. Although she initially didn’t tell authorities what happened, they investigated and discovered that she underwent an illegal buttock augmentation procedure that involved injecting her with cement, mineral oil and flat-tire sealant.  MSNBC reports that police say the amateur incision was then sealed with super glue.

The second victim, 48-year-old Rajee Narinesingh, underwent several procedures at Morris’ hands beginning in 2005.

Narinesingh, who is also transgendered, had injections in her face, breasts, buttocks and hips in order to achieve a more feminine appearance, according to the Miami Herald. She said that she couldn’t afford to have the procedures done by a legitimate plastic surgeon and believed that she was being injected with silicone, a substance that is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as an injectable.

“It becomes so dire that you want to match your outside with your inside that you’re willing to roll the dice and take your chances,” Narinesingh told CBS Miami. “As a transgender person, you’re thinking, ‘Oh, my God, I can start to look like I want to look like and I don’t have to spend a lot of money.’”

Narinesingh says she has come forward in hopes of encouraging others to do the same. She also says that she suffered painful reactions to the procedures done by Morris, including the development of lumpy cheeks, a deformed chin and a bloated upper lip.

She has since undergone a four-hour surgery by a licensed plastic surgeon to remove the cement from her face.

“The doctor pulled pieces of cement out of the side of my face,” she told the Miami Herald.

Many of the new alleged victims have suffered similar side effects, but no fatalities have been reported.

Experts say those considering a cosmetic procedure should enlist the services of a licensed and board-certified physician to ensure their safety and desired outcome.

Contamination in Smooth Gel Breast Implant Placement: Testing a Funnel Versus Digital Insertion Technique in a Cadaver Model.

Aesthet Surg J. 2012 Jan 18;

Authors: Moyer HR, Ghazi B, Saunders N, Losken A

Abstract
Background: Overt infection and biofilm formation resulting from breast augmentation are rare but serious problems that can lead to contracture and a need for revision surgery. The Keller Funnel is a medical device composed of a rip-stop nylon sleeve with a hydrophilic inner coating. One claim of the funnel is that it facilitates a “no touch” technique, thereby limiting contamination. To date, there are no data to support this claim.Objectives: The authors evaluate skin and breast parenchyma contamination with standard implantation techniques and the Keller funnel.Methods: Insertion techniques were tested in two fresh cadavers. Smooth, round, moderate-plus silicone gel implants were placed for each experiment. To quantify the amount of skin contamination, a 2% w/v fluorescein paste was painted onto the cadaver thorax. After implantation, the implants were soaked in 250 mL of sterile water, and the fluorescence emission of the resulting solution was measured with an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. To qualify the potential contamination from breast parenchyma, the cadaver breast tissue was swabbed with methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, and the implant surfaces were cultured postimplantation.Results: The funnel resulted in a 27-fold decrease in skin contact for all smooth gel implants (P = .00059). The amount of skin contact and potential contamination increased incrementally with increasing implant volume when either the funnel or digital implantation techniques were used. Bacterial contamination from breast parenchyma was two times more likely with the standard digital insertion technique (P = .06).Conclusions: The Keller funnel appears to significantly reduce the amount of skin contact and potential parenchyma contamination.

Officials in Florida say a new state law would make liposuction safer for patients, and but some are wondering if it goes far enough.

The bill that’s been introduced in Tallahassee would require most liposuction procedures to be done in a hospital or surgery center that has been inspected by the state, rather than in a doctor’s office.

According to TheHealthLawFirmBlog.com, current regulations do not require physicians in the state who perform liposuction procedures using local sedatives such as lidocaine to have their offices inspected.
“The way liposuction is being done at some of these surgery offices is simply not safe,” a Florida plastic surgeon told the Orlando Sentinel. “Making these places get certified and inspected is a great idea.”

Ensuring offices are regulated would mean that doctors would have basic life-support training and certain life-saving equipment, which have been absent in some fatal cases, according to the newspaper.

The bill was introduced following the deaths of several Florida women in their 30s who underwent liposuction.
The current version of the bill has received little opposition so far, and some are even saying that it could do more to protect the public. Bills that were previously rejected would have required med-spas to be regulated and doctors to use an anesthetist for all liposuction procedures.

Some have even proposed that in-office liposuctions should be banned altogether.

Still, many say the current version of the legislation would help to weed out physicians who are not properly trained to perform these procedures.

“Liposuction is a great tool, and done on the right patient, it leads to great results,” a Florida-based plastic surgeon told WTSP.com. “I think this bill will help weed out the real plastic surgeons from what I consider to be the fake plastic surgeons.”

Liposuction remains one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries available. According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, more than 289,000 individuals underwent the procedure in 2010, making it the second most common surgical procedure performed by plastic surgeons.

Individuals can help ensure their safety during liposuction and other cosmetic procedures by checking that their doctor is licensed and board-certified and that their procedure is done in an accredited hospital, surgical center or office-based surgical facility.
