Six women hospitalised after buttock injections

Six women have been hospitalised in New Jersey after they had their buttocks injected with a non-medical-grade silicone commonly used to waterproof bathtubs.

The Newark women had apparently been injected with the silicone by unlicensed beauticians, the Newark Star-Ledger reported.

The non-medical silicone caused severe infections in the women, who had agreed to be injected with the intention of enhancing their rear ends.

"What we've been hearing from the hospitals is that these women are presenting with deep tissue infections and skin infections," New Jersey Health Department epidemiologist Tina Tan said.

"Abscesses form in some cases."

Although only six cases have been reported so far, officials fear more cases could emerge and have issued an alert to hospitals and doctors.

The New York Post reported that the injection mixture included silicone, petroleum jelly and hardware-grade caulk.

"[It's] the same stuff you use to put caulk around the bathtub," New Jersey Poison Information director Steven Marcus said.

The six women are reportedly all from the Dominican Republic and the injections occurred in hotels in the Newark area.

Investigators have reportedly not yet determined whether the cases are related.

“The Newark women had apparently been injected with the silicone by unlicensed beauticians, the Newark Star-Ledger reported. “

Were the ‘beauticians’ from the Dominican republic as well?
These cons usually prey on their own kind.

Obviously another pressing reason we MUST PASS Husseincare....so blacks from the Dominican Republic can have safely enlarged rear ends.

They could’ve just asked for a butt-fat transfusion from Zero’s wife, Aunt Esther.

Clearly we need national healthcare to stop the rising epidemic of back-alley butt injections...
