A fake medical practitioner has been 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.
The 36-year-old who had no medical license admitted he left education after secondary school and began teaching himself how to do implants at age 14.
He was arrested after one client told Police he 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.
According to local media, Thai police from the Consumer Protection Division arranged for an undercover officer to contact Mr Songsri posing as a prospective client.

Officers then raided the address to arrest him.
Here, they found beds and equipment at the property which failed to meet the required hygiene standards for medical procedures, the Bangkok Post claimed.
During questioning, Mr Kittikorn reportedly admitted he was not a doctor and had no medical practitioner’s licence.
