Ladies it isn’t worth it.
It isn’t worth your life just to have a bigger butt.
Vinnie Taylor would meet his clients inside hotel rooms throughout the East Coast, equipped with gallons of silicone, super glue and cotton balls, according to federal prosecutors. He told some of the women who came to him seeking fuller figures, according to court documents, that he knew what he was doing was illegal but assured them that they would be safe.
But after seven years of administering the cosmetic injections to women in more than 3,000 sessions, at least one of those instances proved deadly, revealing Taylor’s operation to law enforcement and landing him in jail.
Taylor was not a doctor and did not have a medical license. He purchased 152 gallons of silicone for his business and made about $1.59 million in revenue, federal prosecutors said.
Taylor, 44, of Wilmington, N.C., pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges for administering the illegal injections Thursday, agreeing to serve 12 to 15 years in prison as part of an agreement with prosecutors.
Taylor injected food-grade silicone — designed for processing and packaging — into the women seeing him, but told them it was medical-grade silicone, court documents said.
In the case of injections Taylor administered in Maryland, at a Prince George’s County hotel room in March 2014, the woman began having problems breathing after she left. She was taken to a local hospital, where she later died.
The medical examiner determined the woman’s cause of death “to be acute and chronic respiratory failure due to a foreign substance,” court records state.
I repeat, it isn’t worth it.
