A US transgender woman has been charged with practising cosmetic surgery without a licence after she injected a patient's buttocks with a cocktail of substances including cement and tyre sealant, police say.
Oneal Ron Morris, 30, was arrested last Friday for conducting a botched butt implant at a Miami home last May, ABC reports.
Police said Morris shot a mixture of cement, glue, mineral oil and "Fix-A-Flat" tyre mender into the woman's buttocks and then sealed the amateur incision with super glue.
Morris, who appears to have an "enhanced" rear end herself from police photos, first met her victim to discuss the procedure in May 2010.
"They agreed on the price of $1000 for the procedure, which was intended for cosmetic purposes," Sgt William Bamford told ABC.
But the patient soon complained of serious pains in her abdomen and throughout her body, and was hospitalised.
She was treated in Tampa General Hospital for infection and pneumonia, but refused to divulge Morris' name.
The hospital referred the matter to the Department of Health but it took police investigators months to track down Morris.
Police believe there may be other victims and are urging them to come forward.
