A young mother of two children’s attempt to upgrade her butt has led to her death after a quack doctor performed an operation on her in New York City.
The surgery was performed on Maria Penaloza Cabrera March 28, but she died on April 11
28. The “doctor” Felipe Hoyos-Foronda, 38, allegedly performed the procedure at the woman’s home in Queens, New York, and administered lidocaine to Cabrera through a syringe, which prompted her to go into cardiac arrest.
She was transferred to a hospital, where doctors determined she had no brain activity and was “not likely to survive” the ordeal, according to USA Today.
Hoyos-Foronda was taken into custody the day of the attempted procedure as he tried to flee the country to Colombia. He was arrested at John F Kennedy International Airport. Police charged him with practicing medicine without a license and second-degree assault.
Authorities said Hoyos-Foronda advertised his unlicensed medical practice on TikTok, with prices for procedures, including Botox. Several of his posts included videos and photos of people undergoing procedures.
