The officer was moments away from having a “strange brown liquid” injected into her body. She was expected to pay $6,000 for the procedure.
Injections Were Both Illegal and Not Real
In the report, government officials state that no type of gel, liquid, or substance used had been approved by the FDA for the treatment.

The service the women were offering allegedly does not currently exist on the market.
The Service Was too Good to Be True

Unfortunately, the expensive injections don’t seem to truly exist on the market. So, the women were deceiving their clients, as well as putting their health at risk.
Unconfirmed Medical Training
When speaking to news organizations, Consuelo stated she went to medical school in Mexico for three years.

However, this information has yet to be confirmed and verified.
A Real Doctor Weighs In
When speaking to Fox 26, Dr. Sara Adrabi, an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine, gave her impression of the mother daughter duo.

She notes that the substances are most likely unregulated since an unlicensed person cannot get their hands on the real stuff.
Concerns Over Injectors Using Cement
In the past, illegal injectors have used everything from mineral oil to industrial grade silicone or awful ingredients like cement.

When a practitioner is unlicensed, this means they are unlikely to know or care about the repercussions.
Mother and Daughter Are Currently Out on Bond
Consuelo and Isabella are currently released from prison on bond and their next court date is set for April 10th.

Since people have died in the past at the hands of illegal beauty injections, it’s assumed that the women will be sentenced harshly for their illegal practice.
