Unlicensed Liposuction in Somerville Home Leads to Medical Crisis, Police Probe Rogue Cosmetic Surgery
A rogue fat-zapping procedure turned potentially deadly for one Massachusetts resident on Thursday night. Somerville police, investigating an unlicensed liposuction performed at a private residence, are now piecing together how a quest for a slimmer figure led to a medical emergency. Cops were called to an Everett home where, after undergoing the unsanctioned surgery, a person became unresponsive and needed urgent care at a Cambridge Health Alliance facility, NBC10 Boston reports.
In a bloody scene that could pass out of a horror flick, gauze soaked in blood were uncovered in a trash bin outside the Somerville property. Neighbors described the chaotic atmosphere as paramedics responded to the distress call at the Everett home, with one recounting to WCVB, "It was quite loud, big confusion, and then we heard 'patient unresponsive.'" The Middlesex District Attorney's Office took over the investigation, and authorities are delving into what occurred within those walls where health and legality intersected at a dangerous crossroad.
The person, whose identity and current condition remain under wraps, sought out this surgical shortcut for body sculpting only to wind up in a potentially life-threatening situation. Neighbors expressed their disbelief and fear as the quiet suburb became the focal point of a macabre medical procedure turned sour. "It's awful," Sabrina Cavileri, a neighbor living close to the victim, told NBC10 Boston. "I don't know who would trust someone doing it from a house, but either way, it's just a sad situation."
As law enforcement officers rummaged through the Somerville home, residents remained in the dark, grappling with unanswered questions about the safety and sanity of nook-and-cranny nip-tucks. "It’s awful. It’s sad," reiterated Cavileri, in a somber echo to WCVB, daring to ponder the desperation or naivety that might lead one to entrust their flesh to a stranger's scalpel in such an informal setting.
