Massachusetts woman accused of impersonating doctor, performing illegal cosmetic surgery
A Massachusetts woman is accused of impersonating a doctor and performing an illegal cosmetic surgery on a victim, leaving her permanently scarred.Dingrui Wang, 34, is charged with four counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, one count of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious injury, one count of kidnapping and two counts of larceny over $1,200 by false pretense. She is also charged with unauthorized practice of medicine and improper use of the title of physician and receiving payment for a surgical procedure based on that misrepresentation. Officials allege that in January 2020, Wang, while not holding a Massachusetts physician registration, represented herself as a licensed physician and performed double eyelid blepharoplasty surgery on a 22-year-old victim at an unlicensed clinic in Boston’s Allston neighborhood. During the surgery, Wang injected local anesthetic into the patient’s eyelids, as well as non-Food and Drug Administration-approved dermal fillers, resulting in permanent scarring. After Wang completed surgery on the first eyelid, the victim, in extreme pain, attempted to leave the facility, but Wang pushed her back onto the table and prevented her from leaving until the surgery was completed, officials said.Wang also misrepresented herself as holding current aesthetician, massage therapist and hair salon licenses on a loan application to the American Lending Center. Wang received a $37,379 loan while the licenses were suspended, officials said. Wang is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday.
