A 36-year-old man posing as a medical practitioner, Kittikorn Songsri, has been arrested after performing p3nis enlargement treatment for 20 years with no qualification.
Songsri, from Bangkok, Thailand, had reportedly carried out implant surgery and filler injections on hundreds of patients, charging up to £450 each.
The suspect who had no medical license admitted he left education after secondary school and began teaching himself how to do implants at age 14.
He was arrested after one client told Police that he suffered a ‘severe infection’ following silicone injections, and reported him.
Clinics specialising in such procedures often offer a menu of treatments for men seeking a larger package to choose from.
One option is a silicone structure surgically inserted into the p3nis, similar to some br3ast implants.
Other treatments involve cutting an internal ligament in the groin area to make the penis appear longer, while others inject substances like filler to thicken their p3nis.
According to local media, Thai police from the Consumer Protection Division arranged for an undercover officer to contact Mr Songsri posing as a prospective client.
Officers then raided the address to arrest him.
Here, they found beds and equipment at the property which failed to meet the required hygiene standards for medical procedures, the Bangkok Post claimed.
During questioning, Mr Kittikorn reportedly admitted he was not a doctor and had no medical practitioner’s licence.
He also said he had two to three customers a month and charged between 5,000 to 20,000 baht (£110 and £450) each.
The arrest followed a complaint from a man who said he was still suffering pain and could not get an er3ction after developing a ‘severe infection’ from treatment.
Police were told Mr Kittikorn was reportedly advertising his treatments via a Facebook page.
It comes amid a growing trend of men getting cosmetic surgery, including Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs), liposuction and ab implants.
