Fake plastic surgery clinic owners to be deported

Arab and European women were yesterday sentenced by the Lower Criminal Court to be deported along with a fine of BD1,000 each for running an unauthorized plastic surgery clinic in Juffair. According to court files, the police arrested the accused after receiving a tip-off.

“The Arab woman would frequently visit beauty salons to promote a European doctor, the second defendant, who was claimed to be the best plastic surgeon running a clinic in Juffair for reasonable charges.”

A woman undercover officer contacted the first defendant and expressed her willingness to undergo a Botox surgery, prosecutors said. “As planned, the first defendant took the woman to the clinic, which was later discovered to be a residential apartment that had no signs indicating that it is an authorized medical facility.
