A mother and daughter were arrested in Texas for allegedly trying to inject butt implants despite not having a medical license.
Consuelo Dal Bo, 56, and her daughter Isabella Dal Bo, 18, were arrested March 28. Consuelo is facing a delivering a controlled substance charge while Isabella is facing a charge of practicing medicine without a license, records show.
According to a criminal complaint, the Dal Bos showed up to a home in Houston with the intent on charging $6,000 to inject a person with butt implants. But the “customers” were actually with Houston police and the Food and Drug Administration. The suspects were using bottles of an “unlabeled brown liquid.”
“This defendant was not even sure what was in the bottles and this fundamentally demonstrates how remarkably dangerous these acts were,” the complaint said. “The defendants do not have licenses to perform this kind of activity. This defendant provided a Xanax to the prospective customer – an undercover peace officer – for the purpose of relaxing her before the injections began.”
Consuelo Dal Bo has allegedly been doing this for years and the results have not been pretty. ABC affiliate KTRK talked to four women who underwent the procedure and they all had horror stories. One woman said the elder Dal Bo showed her pictures of prior procedures on other people, saying she previously worked on “strippers and lawyers.” The woman told the TV station she went to Consuelo Dal Bo’s home where she was injected with the implants.
She regretted it soon thereafter.
“The side of my butt would get really, really red and sore to the touch. I’m pretty sure it was infected,” said the woman who wished to remain anonymous. “Right now, it feels like marbles all over my butt.”
Another woman told KTRK she’s been suffering for 15 years. She reportedly got calf implants and ever since has had to battle constant infections.
Consuelo Dal Bo sounded defiant in an interview with CBS affiliate KHOU before her court hearing Friday.
“Believe me, everything I do, I do it with my heart, and everybody who knows me, they know me,” she told the TV station. “I do it because they really need it, and not just because they pay me.”
She admitted to not having a medical license but said she went to medical school for three years in Mexico.
But prosecutors aren’t messing around.
“My biggest concern is for the people who don’t do their research before hiring someone like her, or paying someone like her, to put a chemical that they don’t know what is inside of them,” Harris County Assistant District Attorney Sheila Hansel said.
Both women are out on bond.
