Doctor is arrested while performing illegal penis enlargement

A doctor was arrested for performing illegal penis enlargement surgeries from inside his car.
Pittaya Moolin, also known as 'Chang Yai Modify', 51, offered the mobile genital enhancements to men across Bangkok and nearby provinces.
But customers who ordered the treatments were shocked when they arrived only to be beckoned into the beaten-up old 1990s grey Totoya Corolla.
Police received several complaints and launched an investigation.
They found the unlicensed suspect was promoting penis enlargement, circumcision, and pearl implantation surgeries through his
TikTok account, claiming to 'deliver' his services for convenience.
The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) and Consumer Protection Police Division (CPPD) detained the bogus surgeon on October 18, while he was in the middle of a 'pearling' procedure in his makeshift operating theatre - the grey sedan parked along Kamphaeng Phet 6 Road.
Officers seized 189 different kinds of pearls, local anesthetics, surgical blades, surgical needles, and other surgical equipment.
All the tools were allegedly used in unsanitary conditions.

Pittaya reportedly admitted he had no medical training and only learned the procedures from watching videos on social media.
He did not have any sterilising equipment to prevent infections.
He said: 'I became interested in this kind of work, so I studied and developed it as a side hustle to supplement my income.
'I have been doing this for around one year.'
Pittaya reportedly charged 1,000 baht (£23) for pearl implants, 5,000 baht (£114) for circumcisions, and 10,000 baht (£229) for penis enlargement injections, which pump filler into the shaft to give a girthier appearance.
Police said he was charged with practising medicine without registration and authorisation, which is punishable with up to three years in jail, a fine of up to 30,000 baht (£687), or both.
Police Major General Kongkrit Lertsitthikun, Commander of the Consumer Protection Police Division, said: 'Pearl implants or penis enlargement injections carry a high risk of inflammation or infection, potentially resulting in penile dysfunction.
'We would like to warn those involved to immediately cease their activities, as police will continue to monitor and arrest them.'

It comes after last year, a man who posed as a medical practitioner was arrested after performing penis enlargement treatments for 20 years with no qualifications.
Kittikorn Songsri, from Bangkok, Thailand, had reportedly carried out implant surgery and filler injections on hundreds of patients, charging up to £450 each.
But the 36-year-old had no medical license, instead admitting he left education after secondary school and began teaching himself how to do implants at age 14.
Police were only alerted to his practice after one client claimed to have suffered a 'severe infection' following silicone injections, and reported him.
Clinics specialising in such procedures often offer a menu of treatments for men seeking a larger package to choose from.
One option is a silicone structure surgically inserted into the penis, similar to some breast implants.
Other treatments involve cutting an internal ligament in the groin area to make the penis appear longer — while others inject substances like filler to thicken their penis.
