Her name is Kimberly Smedley, she's a 45 year old unlicensed cosmetic surgeon and faces up to five years in prison for operating her illegal practice out of hotel rooms in Baltimore, Washington, Detroit, Philadelphia and New York.
Prosecutors said a forensic accountant's review of Smedley's bank accounts found $1.513 million in receipts related to the practice.
She kept the silicone in a water jug
for the procedures - and used 'super glue with cotton balls to prevent
silicone leaking out' of the women's flesh.
She charged '$500
and $1,600, always in cash, for each session where she typically
injected silicone in nine places on each side of the buttocks',
according to court papers.
Smedley, from Atlanta, Georgia, told
clients that the silicone was medical grade. However it was actually
intended for metal or plastic lubrication, as an additive for paint and
coatings, and furniture or automotive polishes, according to Baltimore
district court.
The therapist offered to inject the
chemical 'into the buttocks of customers for larger and fuller buttocks
in exchange for money' according to The Smoking Gun.
She had
used her earnings to fund a lavish lifestyle, driving a luxury SUV and
living in an exclusive Altanta neighbourhood where homes are worth
around $500,000.
Smedley was investigated last year
after one woman fell seriously ill from receiving silicone injections.
She was arrested at a hotel in Washington D.C. as she was preparing to
see customers.
