Man operating cosmetic surgeries after taking 4-day training arrested
Online Edition
A 40-year-old unlicensed plastic surgeon has been arrested for selling fake medicines, prosecutors in Minhang District said on Wednesday.
The man, surnamed Nie, told prosecutors he only received a four-day-long training on plastic surgery at a hotel in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, in December 2014. Though he claimed the medicines that he injected into his “patients” were bought from South Korea, the court treated it as fake medicines as he did not have the license to buy or sell the drugs.
Nie was caught by police when he was about to give BOTULAX -- a kind of botulinum – injections to two young women in their 20s for losing fat in their legs in January this year. Several other fake medicines were also seized from his clinic. He insisted the medicines were imported from South Korea and charged 2,700 yuan for each injection.
The cost of the medicines was later found to be only 380 yuan. According to prosecutors, Nie opened his unlicensed clinic in May last year and promoted his medical service online like WeChat groups. He also employed an assistant to work for him for some whitening products which require an intravenous injection.
He also resold some fake medicine to others for higher prices. A kind of whitening medicine he bought for 8 yuan for each injection was resold for 240 yuan.
The Minhang District People's Procuratorate is probing another case of an unlicensed plastic surgeon. The 46-year-old woman, surnamed Yang, a nail salon owner, started offering plastic surgery service in 2013 causing sequela among her “patients.” One of her victims, who paid Yang 77,000 yuan for 13 surgeries between 2013 and 2015, said she often felt dizzy, or had blurred vision and facial tic after the surgeries.
