‘Butcher Of South Beach’ Pleads Guilty
`Silvestre, who posed as a general surgeon, performed operations on the women who went to see him for breast augmentations, but were grossly disfigured and instead had to see licensed doctors to try and repair the damage.
Champion bodybuilder and former Mr. Mexico Alexander Baez also went to Silvestre’s Ocean Health Center in Miami Beach to have his pectoral muscles enhanced. But he woke up to find he had been given female breast implants.
Baez’s attorney said veterinary anesthesia was used on his client, who woke up three times during the procedure.’
