A man reportedly said he underwent a $2,000 surgery and his nose was left disfigured. He then learned the Florida "doctor" who performed it wasn't licensed, according to NBC Miami.
Doral Police said they arrested 56-year-old Alcalira Jimenez De Rodriguez of Doral on a charge of practicing medicine without a license.
Officers said a man reached out to them in February, reporting that he had Rhinoplasty surgery at a surgical center in Doral. Vincenzo Zurlo, the alleged victim, said he's been going to Jimenez De Rodriguez for Botox for a few months. Then he asked her about a nose job.
"Zurlo said he was in extreme pain and unhappy with the initial Rhinoplasty, and said Jimenez De Rodriguez offered to perform a second procedure, with similar disappointing results," reporters said. What made Zurlo suspicious were the prescriptions Jimenez De Rodriguez gave him -- they were under another doctor's name.
"She cannot do my nose right, she prescribed me the medication from another doctor, she cannot find a solution to my pain so something is wrong, something has to be wrong," he said. "She was the one that with that surgery that day, she ruined my life."
Police said they sent an undercover agent to meet with the Doral woman for a consultation. Officers confirmed with the Florida Department of Health that Jimenez De Rodriguez was not licensed.
Jimenez De Rodriguez remains in custody on a $6,000 bond as of Thursday (March 11).
