Dr. Mayoral sees serious side effects from black market beauty treatments.
She photographs the most egregious cases and categorizes them by appearance.
She classified one woman whose face looked hollow after she had illicit
injections as a "cadaver." The terms "chipmunks" and "blowfish" cover
women who have been injected with so much material that their faces
are severely bloated. "Parrots" are patients whose injections by amateurs
cause their lips to resemble snouts. "Some say they were injected with
shark cartilage or with sheep collagen," Dr. Mayoral said. "But most
of them have no idea what they've got in their faces, which makes them
hard to treat."
