LOS ANGELES — In recent years, medical experts have sounded the alarm on the dangers of illegal butt injections following a surge in demand for unlicensed procedures.

The warning comes as a mother and daughter were arrested in Texas after having traveled to California to perform illegal butt injections.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, there were more than 61,000 butt enhancement surgeries done by certified doctors in 2021.

They have been the fastest growing aesthetic surgical procedure over the past decade, costing between $10,000 and $20,000.
