A man accused of injecting a woman's buttocks with a mixture of cement and tyre inflater has been arrested.
Oneal Ron Morris, 30, was detained in Florida on Friday and charged with practising medicine without a licence and causing serious bodily injury.
The woman, who paid $700 (£446), later suffered with abdominal pain, infected sores and flu-like symptoms.
Police photographs suggest that Oneal Morris may have had a similar procedure done on himself.
Detectives describe Oneal Morris as a transgender man who dresses as a woman and claim he used a tube to inject a woman in several places on her buttocks.
The victim's body was filled with a mixture that included cement, mineral oil and flat-tire sealant and the incisions were apparently sealed with superglue.
Sergeant Bill Bamford, from Miami Gardens Police, said that when the pain had become too much Oneal Morris had told the woman: "Oh don't worry, you'll be fine.
"We just keep injecting you with the stuff and it all works itself out."
MRSA infection
The procedure originally took place in May 2010 and investigators have been looking for the suspect for more than a year.
Police said the woman - who was referred to Oneal Morris by a friend - ended up at Tampa General Hospital with life-threatening symptoms, including pneumonia and a MRSA infection.
"That cocktail had serious complications and serious effects on this young lady," said Sergeant Bamford.
Police believe that other people may also have paid money to Oneal Morris but are too embarrassed to come forward.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has recently warned about the dangers of 'pumping parties', where people gather for cheap silicone injections in body parts like the buttocks, breast or chin.
It says that often those carrying out the procedures are not qualified and the conditions not sterile.

“Flawed” is an impressive personal 12-min. stop-motion animated story told in gorgeous drawings done in black ink and watercolor by Canadian filmmaker Andrea Dorfman. The film has been acclaimed on the festival circuit for a couple of years, winning at the Palm Springs Film Festival, and playing at HotDocs and SilverDocs. It has been one of the jewels of the National Film Board‘s impressive animation catalog, but only now has become available on the web.
“Flawed” tells a story that is serious, heart-warming yet also heart-breaking, in which Dorfman examines the conflicted feelings that arise when she strikes up a romance with a plastic surgeon. Through an intensely confessional narrative, she discovers that the secret to getting the man to accept her is to learn how to accept herself. The drawings help to keep the story light and visually compelling, while presenting Dorfman’s philosophical take on self-esteem, growing-up, relationships, personal identity and even cosmetic surgery.
This piece includes colorful illustrations and the acclaimed animated short film.

Surgery saves girl's face from rare disorder
By Amanda Gardner, Health.com
February 25, 2011 12:00 p.m. EST
When Christine Honeycutt was five years old, one side of her face seemed to mysteriously stop growing.
(Health.com) -- The line in the middle of Christine Honeycutt's forehead was barely noticeable at first. It was a faint gray smudge, just a half-inch long from top to bottom.
"It looked like she ran into a doorjamb, which kids do," says Christine's mother, Vicki. But the five-year-old swore she'd done no such thing.
When she looked closer, Vicki also noticed what appeared to be a small bruise or birthmark on the left side of her daughter's neck. That, too, seemed like nothing, but when the marks didn't go away after a couple of weeks, Vicki took Christine to the doctor.
"It's just a discoloration," the pediatrician said, giving Vicki a cream. "Keep her out of the sun and put this on it."
The cream didn't work. Five months later, the gray line was still there -- and it now extended halfway down Christine's forehead.
The Honeycutts consulted a second doctor -- this time in southern California, where the family had recently moved from Charlotte, North Carolina -- and received the same advice. Vicki wasn't reassured, but she wasn't unduly worried, either. Christine was otherwise healthy, and she seemed to be enjoying kindergarten at her new school.
Then, in first grade, Christine started inexplicably gaining weight and suffered a violent seizure at home one evening, losing consciousness and convulsing. The ER doctors who treated her concluded that the seizure had been brought on by the 102-degree fever she'd been running, but Vicki suspected it wasn't that simple.
A surprising diagnosis
Within a few months of the seizure, the line on Christine's forehead stretched down to her eyebrow and looked more like an indentation than a shadow. People were noticing. One of Christine's teachers told her to wipe the ink off her forehead. "I can't," she replied. "It's always there."
There were other troubling signs: One side of Christine's forehead was normal, but the other was "meaty," Vicki recalls. And her ears looked out of proportion to one another -- an asymmetry that seemed to extend over her entire face.
"One side of her face looked like a baby," Vicki says. "It looked like one side of her face was growing and the other was not."
As it turns out, that's exactly what was happening.
In 2008, two and a half years after the line first appeared on Christine's face, a geneticist who specializes in facial deformities finally diagnosed her with Parry-Romberg syndrome, an extremely rare autoimmune disorder that affects roughly one in a million people. Christine's own immune system had turned against her so that one side of her face was developing normally while the other side was slowly but surely deteriorating.
Parry-Romberg syndrome, also known as progressive facial hemiatrophy, was first identified in the early 1800s. It usually starts in childhood and gets worse with time, and it seems to be more common in girls. (Although Christine was diagnosed by a geneticist, the condition does not appear to be inherited.) In addition to the distinctive atrophy that occurs on one side of a patient's face, it can also cause seizures and other neurological problems.
The indented line in Christine's forehead -- a feature found in about one-quarter of people with facial hemiatrophy -- is known as coup de sabre, a French phrase that translates as "cut of a saber" and evokes a scar that someone who has sustained a gash in a sword fight might be left with.
After Christine was diagnosed, Vicki went home and looked up Parry-Romberg on the Internet. What she saw was not comforting. "There were horrifying pictures," she says. "One side [of a patient's face] was a skeleton and the other side wasn't."
A bleak prognosis
There is no cure for Parry-Romberg syndrome. Nor are there any proven treatments, although drugs that suppress the immune system have been shown to be beneficial in some cases.
For two years after Christine's diagnosis, the Honeycutts consulted expert after expert, and all of them told the family that not only was there no cure, but Christine could not have her face reconstructed until the disease stopped progressing, which could take years. By that time, the underlying facial bones might also be affected.
"This was mind-blowing," Vicki says. "She's going to go through adolescence with her face destroyed then they're going to reconstruct it?" That wasn't good enough for Vicki. Christine was now 11 years old, on the brink of a stage in life that can be tumultuous for even the healthiest and most ordinary kids.
So Vicki contacted Dr. John Siebert, M.D., a plastic surgeon whose name she'd come across during her online research. A professor of surgery at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison, Siebert specializes in microsurgery and has operated on about 400 patients with facial asymmetry over the past two decades, 140 of them with Parry-Romberg.
He looked at photos of Christine and agreed to operate in November 2010. The Honeycutts made plans to travel to Wisconsin.
"Like building a teddy bear"
The surgery took about seven hours. Siebert and his team transplanted tissue -- complete with functioning blood vessels -- from under Christine's left arm and inserted it under her face via an incision in front of her ear.
"It's like building a teddy bear," Siebert says. "The skin and the fur is all there. My job is to give the stuffing to bring out its natural form or shape." His goal in these surgeries, he adds, is to "sculpt" the transplanted tissue and integrate it with the healthy tissue on the other side of a patient's face "smoothly and gradually, so it looks like it was there all along."
The relocated tissue will grow along with Christine as she matures, Siebert says -- although he can't explain how. It could be that the transplanted tissue and blood vessels restore normal blood supply to the damaged side of the face and allow the cells of different tissues to "talk to each other" in ways that prevent further atrophy, he says.
Some Parry-Romberg experts are skeptical that the procedure can actually reverse the course of the disease and prevent damage to the underlying bone and muscle. But Siebert says he has rarely had to perform a second surgery, which, he says, would probably be needed if the disease continued to progress.
Back to school
Christine will undergo a brief procedure to fine-tune the tissue in her jaw this summer, and she'll have to visit Dr. Siebert's office every five or six months after that.
She has a scar that stretches from her underarm to her shoulder, an incision mark on her neck, and, three months after the surgery, her face is still a bit swollen. But she's going to school again and is starting to feel like she's returning to normal.
"I like my nose better now," she says.CNN and Health Magazine...

The Demoiselles talks a lot about body image: what we look like, how society and the media want us to feel about it, and why we should all ignore that crap and choose to love every curve, angle, blemish and hair on our bodies anyway.
However, because our brains process every small detail, especially when we’re judging those details by the harsh light of fashion magazines ruled by a Photoshop Autocracy, we often get stuck on our body image, and even subsets of our body image. We pick apart our faces – our symmetry, our noses, our jawlines and skin tone – and wonder at the sharpness of our collarbones, the lift of our breasts, even the proportion of our calf muscles.
And, especially as teenagers, we wonder about our vaginas.
Ladies, you know what I mean. Is my mound too hairy? Are my inner labia the right color; are they too big? Is my clitoris normal-looking; do I get wet enough; does it…smell okay?
I don’t know a single girl that, after watching standard pornography for the first time (Playboy, Spice, etc.), didn’t ask herself these questions (along with a hundred more about her breasts, body hair and how the hell one person can stay in that position for so long). I’m surprised I haven’t heard the phrase "pussy image" before.
Being a curious, anatomy-lovin’ lady with a penchant for sexual freedom and LGBT support, I know a bit about gender reassignment and, therefore, a fair amount about genital plastic surgery. That knowledge led me to learn about labioplasty, vaginaplasty, and a whole host of other genital plastic surgery sometimes performed after childbirth but more often for aesthetic and/or sexual reasons…but I can always learn more.
With that in mind, I went searching...
