It is believed he injected the 62-year-old with industrial low-grade silicone similar to that used by mechanics to grease car parts.

Her spokesperson added: "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 now well."

Serrano was investigated after his patients complained the injections caused lumps, paralysis and craters in the face.

He was arrested in 2004 and charged in relation to the illegal injections.

Serrano was later sentenced to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy, smuggling and use of unapproved drugs in 2006.

Meanwhile, Priscilla made it through to the next round of Dancing With The Stars last night, however tennis champ Monica Seles and illusionist Penn Jillette were both eliminated.
