<html><body><p><strong>Mauldin, S.C.</strong> — A South Carolina woman was arrested and jailed in connection with a buttocks implant procedure allegedly performed without a license at her boutique here, msnbc.com reports. </p>
<p>The New Jersey woman on whom the procedure was performed nearly died afterward, but has since recovered, according to the report. She had come to 35-year-old Michelle Roca’s boutique specifically to get buttocks implants.

<p>Msnbc.com quotes local police as saying that Ms. Roca did not perform the procedures, but was a facilitator. She allegedly contacted a doctor, arranged the procedures and ensured that the doctor arrived in the country and then left the country afterward.
