A California man who allegedly posed as doctor and performed liposuction while smoking a cigar will appear in court this week to face several felony charges, the San Francisco Examiner reported.
Guzmangarza allegedly performed liposuction on a woman in 2010 when he quoted her a price lower than other city doctors. Prosecutors said he smoked a cigar during the procedure and made her hold her own IV bag.
A few days after the surgery, Guzmangarza came to the woman’s home and asked her to flush six pounds of her own fat, which he said he removed during the procedure, down the toilet, according to prosecutors.
When the woman’s abdomen became infected, she sought the help of a real doctor, and that’s when she learned Guzmangarza was a fraud, prosecutors said.

The Practical Buddhist Responds
After the holidays, the Practical Buddhist would like his belly fat sucked out. Nothing extreme Actually I'd be OK with having a tummy like the guy on the left, the before picture. Good shape and normal. Not gym-obsessed. If it didn't hurt or cost more than thirty five bucks and it was guaranteed safe and the guy did house calls, I might consider it. But if it was expensive, I'd rather eat less and save money two ways. Or if it was dangerous, I'd do something fun and dangerous, like sky diving. But live and let live.
I can tell you that if the guy charged a lot less than everybody else, and lit up a cigar during the operation and made me hold my own IV bag, I'd be a little suspicious.
