Mother, daughter allegedly gave illegal injections
A Houston area mother and daughter duo are behind bars after being accused of giving people illegal butt injections. FOX 26's Jade Flury has more on the arrest made in Cypress.
HOUSTON - A mother and daughter duo are facing charges for giving people illegal butt injections. On Wednesday, 56-year-old Consuelo Dal Bo and her daughter, 18-year-old Isabella Dal Bo, were arrested during an undercover sting in Cypress.
Court records show the mother and daughter went to a short-term rental on Eastern Meadowlark Way hoping to charge $6,000 for illegal butt injections. Instead, they were met by undercover officers.

Both have been charged with unlawfully practicing medicine without a license. Consuelo Dal Bo is facing another drug charge for knowingly delivering a controlled substance called Alprazolam.
Court documents show the women were planning to inject an unlabeled brown liquid into the posterior - or butt - of a customer. That customer ended up being an officer in an undercover sting. The documents also show Consuelo Dal Bo gave a Xanax to the undercover officer for the purpose of relaxing before the injections.
Health experts urge caution about getting injections outside a licensed professional.
"First things first, these are unregulated, right? Especially if they are administered by non-licensed providers. They might be using unregulated or illegal substances for these injections. Examples include industrial grade silicon, mineral oil, even things like cement and sealant I've heard of being used, and they're not meant for injections into the body," said Dr. Sara Andrabi, an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine.
