'I wanted placenta, they gave silicone'
The New Paper

http://www.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNews/Malaysia/Story/A1Story20120116-322198.htmlIt's yet another case of a beauty treatment gone terribly wrong.
Ms Mandy Chong, a 35-year-old accounts manager from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, paid RM8,180 (S$3,375) to a beauty centre for four injections in her buttocks.
The centre, which was not named, claimed that it was injecting sheep placenta imported from New Zealand.
Animal placenta is used in anti-ageing treatments, among other things, but experts are not convinced of its effectiveness.
But instead of placenta, Ms Chong claims the centre had injected silicone instead.
