A man named Kittikorn Songsri, 36, has been taken into custody for impersonating a medical professional and conducting p3nis enlargement procedures for the past two decades without any official qualifications.
Based in Bangkok, Thailand, Songsri allegedly performed surgeries involving implants and filler injections on numerous clients, charging fees of up to £450 per session.
With no medical credentials, he disclosed that he stopped formal education after secondary school and taught himself the techniques for implant procedures since he was 14 years old.
His arrest stemmed from a complaint by a dissatisfied customer who experienced a serious infection after undergoing silicone injections, prompting police action.
Establishments that provide these types of services typically advertise various treatments aimed at men wanting to enhance their size.
One common approach includes surgically inserting silicone structures into the p3nis, mirroring certain br3ast augmentation methods.
Other procedures may involve cutting a ligament in the groin to create the illusion of increased length, while filler materials can be injected for a thicker appearance.
Thai law enforcement from the Consumer Protection Division set up an undercover operation to contact Songsri as a potential client.
Following this, officers executed a search to detain him.
Inside his premises, authorities discovered beds and equipment that did not adhere to accepted medical hygiene standards, according to reports from the Bangkok Post.
During interrogation, Mr. Kittikorn openly admitted he was unlicensed and not an actual doctor.
He mentioned serving two to three clients monthly, with fees ranging from 5,000 to 20,000 baht (£110 to £450) each.
The complaint leading to his arrest involved a man suffering ongoing pain and erectile difficulties after developing a severe infection due to the procedure.
Authorities were informed that Mr. Kittikorn had been promoting his services on a Facebook page.
This incident reflects an escalating trend of men pursuing cosmetic enhancements, which includes Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs), liposuction, and abdominal implants.
