Priscilla Presley's rep confirms she fell 'victim' to a bogus doctor

March 26 2008

Priscilla PresleyPriscilla Presley's rep has confirmed reports the Dancing With The Stars contestant had once fallen victim to an unqualified plastic surgeon identified as Dr. Daniel Serrano.

In a statement released on Tuesday, a rep for 62-year-old Presley said, "Priscilla Presley was one of many documented victims of Dr. Serrano.

"An investigation which uncovered his misconduct ultimately lead to his imprisonment. Ms. Presley dealt with this matter years ago and everything is well."

In 2006, Serrano pleaded guilty in a Los Angeles federal court to conspiracy, smuggling and use of unapproved drugs," the Los Angeles Times reported. He was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison.

Serrano -- who was unlicensed to perform cosmetic surgery -- claimed his injections worked better than Botox, but the non-approved drug he allegedly smuggled into America from Argentina left some clients with holes in their faces and paralysis.
