Fake Doctor's 'Perfection' Leaves Patient Scarred
5 Feb
Summary
- Woman impersonated doctor, performed eyelid surgery.
- Victim suffered permanent scarring and extreme pain.
- Accused faces multiple felony charges including kidnapping.
In January 2020, a woman seeking cosmetic perfection experienced a harrowing ordeal when Dingrui Wang allegedly impersonated a doctor. Wang, 34, from Newton, Massachusetts, purportedly conducted a double eyelid blepharoplasty on a 22-year-old woman in Allston. Authorities report that Wang was not licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts.
During the procedure, Wang allegedly injected a local anesthetic and unapproved dermal fillers into the patient's eyelids, resulting in permanent scarring. The victim reportedly experienced extreme pain after the first eyelid was operated on and tried to leave, but Wang allegedly restrained her.
Further investigations revealed that Wang had also misrepresented her credentials on a loan application. She has been charged with multiple offenses, including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious injury, kidnapping, larceny, and practicing medicine without authorization. District Attorney Kevin R. Hayden emphasized the importance of licensed physicians for patient safety, noting the devastating consequences of such misrepresentations.
