Celebrity Justice
Priscilla's Doc BS'd Star after Star

The phony doc who injected Priscilla Presley with industrial-grade silicone used to lubricate auto parts had a scam that proved irresistible to Hollywood's elite.

Someone who got injected by Daniel Serrano spoke with TMZ about getting lured in. Serrano, who was a doctor in Argentina but unlicensed in the U.S., told patients the serum, which he claimed would remove wrinkles, was much better than Botox -- an all-natural drug he said was used by all the top models in Paris. Serrano told his victims they could not get the drug in the U.S. The patient we spoke with said that made all the women go crazy, thinking they were getting something special, and they were -- a lube job.

Serrano was a major name dropper. We're not sure if he really injected all the women he claims, but trust us, there were a lot. The patient we spoke with says she was injected with a needle that was just sitting on a table, unprotected. He didn't clean the needle or clean her face before injecting it.

The injections were "extremely painful." Serrano said there would be no swelling. The patient we spoke with says she blew up like a balloon, and when the swelling finally went down, the drug didn't eliminate lines.

With Shawn King, Larry's wife, Diane Richie, Lionel's wife at the time, and other famous women, you would think this would be a sign -- he only accepted cash. One woman had to go to the bank because he wouldn't take her personal check. Trust us, that woman had enough in her account to cover it.

17. This goes for "pimp" whoever you are, I am from Argentina, and you shouldn't be talking about us if you are not from there... let me guess are you from Bolivia? That's fine, we understand how far away you are to be a decent country. Don't hate Argentineans for what they have, beautiful country, beautif woman, And I have to tell you, dude read more about history before you talk or even mention the Nazis. I'm very proud to be from Argentina.

20. To Pimp, I am from Argentina and your comments have nothing to do with 1)what was discussed in the articles, does it matter whether he was from Argentina or USA? May I remind you that the doctor who operated on Kayne West's mother was as american as Uncle Sam? and 2) We don't say that, grab any tourism brochure and THEY promote Argentina like that. And what does this have to do with the nazis? Please be a little more constructive on your comments. And, as a fellow south american, since you are going to badmouth Argentina, where are you from?

21. Here's what I don't understand and maybe Harvey Levin can explain it the legalities.

So here's a man who comes to the USA, doesn't have a medical license to practice medicine and proceeds to inject patients who think he's a doctor with industrial strength silicone and when he's busted and convicted, all he serves is 18 months in jail?

WTF?

If you rob a bank you never serve less than 7 years -- sometimes more. If you deal heavy-duty illegal drugs like cocaine or crack, you can serve 15 years. But a man who physically harms a number of innocent people only serves 18 months? I don't get it. The bastard should be in prison for at least a decade and then deported.

22. UMM just goes to show you $$ doesn't make you smart...or else these people just don't care in their "quest" for youth. An unprotected/uncleaned needle? And the person doesn't stop him? Won't take a check?

Maybe all the botox is killing their brain cells!

23. Personality disorders that drive people to inject their faces for the sake of vanity is the real issue here. These people who cannot face reality with aging need help with self esteem. Otherwise you wind up with "I Look Like A Duck" syndrome.

24. Stupid people- they SEE an unprotected needle, the guy doesn't clean the injection site first and they LET him inject their faces???
Money doesn't buy class is a common phrase. It's apparent money doesn't buy smarts or common sense either.
I wish these 'celebreities' would call me. I have a bridge I'd like to sell them

25. It's simple. You can not fix stupid. These women/men saw the signs no MD degree, no office, dirty needles etc...... but, they thought they were getting an "IN" on a secret. You know how the saying goes "If it's to good to be true"......,

26. I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for these stupid celebrities. This is what they get for not doing proper research. idiots.

27. NOW WAIT A SECOND!!!

THIS IS OLD NEWS!!! THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN 2004!!!

Being from Argentina, I was determined to find out more about this guy. He was discovered in 2004 and has been in jail ever since.

In fact, here is the link:

http://archivo.elcomercial.com.ar/archivo-on-line/2004/noviembre/22-11-04/secciones/nacionales/notas/n5.asp

The link is in spanish but you can stillcatch some words and dates in there that are easy to read.

So here is my question to TMZ, were the damages in Priscilla's face recent??? In that case, it wasn't this doctor. Better start investigating a little more

28. I hate to say this but that's really what they get for trying to play GOD! U can't turn back time. Grow old gracefully!

29. He "told his victims they could not get the drug in the U.S." Duh! That is a big red flag. But rather than cause the women to take heed, it "made all the women go crazy, thinking they were getting something special." What is wrong with people? The main purpose of the FDA is to protect people from unsafe products and from claims that have not been scientifically tested and substantiated. I could have pity and sympathy for ignorant people who do not know that, but I don't have sympathy for intelligent people who do know but whose vanity is so great that they ignore it.

30. The saying "If it sounds too good to be true there's usually something wrong ..." has been around a long time .... none of these people were listening?
