Florida Woman Accused of Illegally Enhancing Butts

(Hialeah, Florida) A 53-year-old local woman, Samela Hernandez, has been accused of illegally performing butt-enhancement injections.

Hernandez and her husband, Pedro Hernandez, were arrested this week on charges of practicing healthcare without a license and possession of blank prescription forms.

Hialeah detectives this week raided the couple’s Hialeah home and seized a slew of medical equipment including syringes and Lidocaine, plus a list of clients and procedures. Two more victims were at the house at the time, and told police they had undergone procedures for months; one said she believed Hernandez was a nurse.

The first victim told police that after the first injection, she returned to the Hernandez house and they administered “more solution into the void area of her buttocks to ‘fill in’ the gaps between the welts.”

She sustained “permanent deformity” as a result -- and soon learned that the substance used in her buttocks was banned in Colombia “because of its tendency to cause cancer,” the report said.

Details on booking are unavailable.
