A mother and her 18-year-old daughter are accused of traveling across the country to give illegal butt injections for $6,000, according to Texas authorities.
Police said 56-year-old Consuelo Maria Dal Bo and her 18-year-old daughter, Isabella Dal Bo were planning on injecting an unlabeled brown liquid into the butt of a customer on Wednesday, KHOU 11 reported.
However, what they didn’t know was that the customer was an undercover officer. Consuelo then gave a Xanax to the officer to relax before the injections. She was paid $6,000 in cash to do the procedure.
The mother-daughter duo was arrested during the sting operation conducted by the FDA and the Houston Police Department.
Officers seized bags of illegal injectables and medical supplies.
Both have been charged with unlawfully practicing medicine without a license. Consuelo was also charged with delivering a controlled substance called Alprazolam.
While out on bond, Consuelo told KHOU 11 that while she isn’t a licensed doctor in the U.S., she did attend medical school in Mexico for three years.
“Believe me, everything I do, I do it with my heart, and everybody who knows me, they know me,” Consuelo Maria said. “I do it because they really need it, and not just because they pay me.”
Prosecutors said the FDA is now in the process of testing the substances.
Counsuelo’s charges could be upgraded depending on the outcome of the ongoing investigation.
