A botched faces Texas mother and daughter duo were arrested this week for allegedly running a cross-country illegal b**t and Botox operation.
Consuelo Dal Bo, 56, and her daughter Isabella Dal Bo, 18, were arrested by Houston police on Wednesday during a sting operation.
According to police, the two women were charging customers $6,000 for the procedure using illegal injectables.
Police conducted a sting, whereby an undercover officer posed as a client to meet the two women at a temporary residence. Officers say that the mother and daughter came straight from the airport after conducting business in California.
And the moms were offering more than just injections. Police said the women tried to give the undercover cop Xanax to relax before the injections.
Authorities collected bottles of illegal injectables and medical equipment from their bags at the scene.
The women allegedly told police they were ‘not even sure what was in the bottles.’
Both are charged with unlawfully practicing medicine and the mother will face an additional drug charge. Consuelo and Isabella were released on bond and have a court date scheduled for April 10, reported Click2Houston.
According to public records, Consuelo is a licensed cosmetologist in Texas.
The FDA issued several warnings against injectable silicone for body contouring and said they can lead to long-term pain, infections and serious injuries including death.
‘The injectable silicone oil (breaks) off into smaller particles throughout the body, possibly causing permanent damage and life-threatening complications such as stroke, embolism and even death,’ Lisa Vasquez, a board-certified aesthetic nurse practitioner at Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, told USA Today.
In California, a mother and daughter duo were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for deadly butt-lift last month.
Libby Adame, 53, and her daughter Alicia Galaz were charged with causing the death of their client, Karissa Rajpaul, 26, in October 2019.
The mother and daughter ran an illegal Brazilian butt lift surgery ring using ‘toxic’ compounds in their silicone injections.
