Authorities say a mother and daughter have been arrested in Southern California on suspicion of performing “outlaw” buttocks augmentation procedures on women, including one who diedLOS ANGELES -- A mother and daughter have been arrested in Southern California on suspicion of performing “outlaw” buttocks augmentation procedures on women, including one who died, police said Wednesday. “Neither are a licensed medical provider in California and their clients were recruited through Instagram,” the statement said. It wasn't immediately known what charges they might face or whether they have attorneys who could speak on their behalf. An arrest warrant was issued after a woman who underwent “an outlaw buttocks augmentation” died at a hospital emergency room in October 2019, police said. “This cosmetic procedure involved injecting an uncontained, liquid silicone substance directly into the buttocks to make the buttocks look fuller,” the police statement said.
