Priscilla Presley and "Dr. Jiffy Lube"

From Natalie Kita, About.com GuideMarch 25, 2008

Follow me on:

Almost everyone I know who has seen Priscilla Presley recently has had the same reaction---Yikes!!! It seems clear the star has had more than a little bit of work done, but her most recent date with the needle was the stuff of Hollywood nightmares. She was one of the most recent victims of an unlicensed doctor named Daniel Serrano, who has apparently been injecting the faces of many of the Hollywood elite with an industrial grade silicone which is used to lubricate auto parts in his native Argentina.

Dr. Serrano's victims have reported persistent and severe swelling, unsightly "holes" in the face, lumps, and paralysis as a result of being injected with the substance which he touted as "better than Botox". The fake doc has now been convicted on several counts having to do with drug smuggling and the use of unapproved drugs.

How many more innocent faces have to suffer before we all learn to start looking out for the red flags?
