Verdict False plastic surgeon must be imprisoned for four years

Charlatan undergoes beauty surgeries in more than 50 patients
A 31-year-old treated dozens of patients with Botox and silicone even though he is not a doctor at all. He is said to have blamed several tens of thousands of euros for the wrong cosmetic surgery, but the fraud exploded. Now the Regensburg district court sentenced him to four years and three months in prison. The relatively mild punishment was mainly due to the "extensive confession" of the man, said the judge in its verdict.

Cosmetic surgeon "earns" more than 60,000 € with improper surgery
A lucrative business that went well for a long time: over a period of several months, a 31-year-old from Regensburg falsely pretended to be a cosmetic surgeon and treated more than 50 men and women. His alleged medical career, the man had been using forged documents and documents. He also advertised successful treatments on the Internet and quickly made a name for himself in social networks. "All patients were treated only because they thought they were dealing with a doctor," the news agency "dpa" quotes the judge. The list of customers was long, during the interventions he splashed primarily silicone and Botox in the cheeks, lips and forehead of his "patients" and received according to the prosecutor between early 2013 and summer 2014, a total of more than 63,000 euros in cash.

Mother of an Austrian victim turns on authorities
A very risky procedure, because many affected suffered from painful swelling and numbness after the improperly performed surgery, in some cases it had even come to a fainting and racing heart after the anesthesia. The worried mother of a victim from Austria got the case started by doubting the man's license to practice and turning on the authorities. Finally, the mask of the fake plastic surgeon fell, who had to answer for the dangerous assault, fraud and abuse of titles in 110 cases before the Regional Court of Regensburg.

Now the man was sentenced to four years and three months imprisonment. A relatively lenient verdict, which, according to the judge, he owes above all to his extensive confession, according to the "dpa". "He has repeatedly expressed his remorse," said the judge on Monday in its verdict. The prosecution had even demanded five years in prison, the lawyers of the defendant pleaded, however, on the basis of the confession confessed to four years.

Man apparently affected by dysmorphophobia
"It is fortunate that I was flown," said the defendant, and he was glad that he had done no worse consequences. As the "dpa" reports, an opinion in the man had a narcissistic personality disorder and a so-called "dysmorphophobia" found, which is a disturbed perception of his own body. As a result, the 31-year-old assumed to be ugly and disfigured, which also led to a milder sentence, according to the judge. (No)
