It is believed he injected the 62-year-old with industrial low-grade silicone similar to that used by mechanics to grease car parts.
Argentinian born Dr. Daniel Serrano, who also reportedly treated Lionel Richie's ex wife Diane, was only licensed as a nurse when he performed the cosmetic procedure in 2003.

I was shocked to see Priscilla Presley's face on dancing with the stars. Whatever did that unqualified plastic surgeon (nurse) do to make her lips so unattractive. She can barely smile and it looks as though she has no teeth. I don't know what can be done to repair her face but she should get a new hairdresser.

I am in admiration of her beauty and it is said to see her this way.
At the same time I admirer her for going public and showing the world what not to do.
We all want to stay young and beautiful but there is a limit.
Injecting filler is the worst anyone can do.
There is such wonderful technology of lasers and radio frequency available.

This pretty woman has ruined her face, perhaps forever, in the interest of saving a few dollars. And she is one of the richest women in America.
Well, well, well.
It is quite unbelievable that someone so desperate to keep her looks would fall victim to a criminal plastic surgeon. The usual procedure is to ask friends who have had successful surgery "Who did it?" and use the recommended doctor.
Ladies, beware!
Only go to doctors your good-looking friends have used.
