Morris, pictured here, seems to have also been the recipient of some rear-enhancing surgery. The transgender woman was arrested after injecting an unidentified patient with a mixture of cement, super glue, mineral oil, and Fix-A-Flat tire mender.

Oneal Ron Morris was arrested following an investigation by the Florida Dept. of Health.
A transgender woman in South Florida faces charges of practicing cosmetic surgery without a license, after police say she injected an unwitting patient’s buttocks with a handful of unsafe substances, including tire mender Fix-A-Flat, NBC reported.
The botched butt implant sent the unidentified woman to the hospital, and landed Oneal Ron Morris, who is legally identified as a man, in cuffs.
Miami Gardens Police arrested Morris, 30, on Friday, following an investigation by the Florida Department of Health.
Sgt. William Bamford said the illegal procedure took place in May 2010, after the woman and Morris met to discuss details, according to ABC.
“They agreed on the price of $700 for the procedure, which was intended for cosmetic purposes,” he said.
The injection took place in a residential setting, where Morris shot a mix of cement, glue, mineral oil and tire sealant into the woman’s buttocks, ABC reported.
“[A] short time later, she develops very serious pains, abdomen, throughout her body,” Bamford told the network affiliate. “She knows something’s wrong.”
The woman rushed to Tampa General Hospital, where she was treated for infection and pneumonia, but would not divulge Morris’ name, according to the report.
Hospital officials contacted the Dept. of Health, but it took investigators months to track down Morris.
Police suspect there are other victims, and urge them to come forward.
Shocking new before-and-after pictures reveal horrific damage to face of woman injected with cement and tyre sealant by 'butt implant doctor'

New pictures of an alleged victim of 'fake doctor' Oneal Ron Morris show the horrific damage to her face after it was injected with a toxic mixture of cement and tyre sealant.
Rajee Narinesingh, 48, from Miami, Florida, says her face was ruined by Morris, who had just been released from custody after she was accused of administering the potentially lethal shots to another victim.
Ms Narinesingh, who, like Morris, 30, was born a man, but lives as a woman, has been left with lumpen shapes in her cheeks, a misshapen chin and a ballooning upper lip after the back room beauty treatment.

She admitted that she initially turned to Morris because she did not have the money to pay a licensed plastic surgeon. She says she learned of him by word-of-mouth in the transsexual community.
She told Miami television station CBS4: 'It becomes so dire that you want to match your outside with your inside that you're willing to roll the dice and take your chances.'

'As a transgender person, you're thinking, "Oh, my God, I can start to look like I want to look like and I don't have to spend a lot of money."'
Ms Narinesingh has since had several plastic surgery procedures to repair the damage, and faces more still.
'I had to end up going to surgery, to get me even to this point,' she revealed.

Morris, who was released from custody late last night after posting $15,000 bail, declined to comment as she left the Miami Dade County Jail.
She said only that she has a lawyer to answer reporters' questions, and the lawyer claims she is innocent.
She was arrested earlier this month for practising medicine without a licence and causing serious bodily injury after a patient complained that she injected cement and a chemical compound called Fix-a-Flat, which is used to mend car tyres, into her backside.

'Fake doctor': Prosecutors say Morris administered the potentially lethal shots to three alleged victims
The treatment left the victim with life threatening injuries, needing several surgeries and round-the-clock care.
Since Morris's alleged practices came to light, prosecutors say several victims have come forward.
A court was told that Morris used cement, mineral oil and Fix-a-Flat, in her backroom beauty treatments.
It heard that she then used superglue to patch up entry wounds in the skin.
Her arrest photographs show an apparently enhanced rear. Detectives say she performed the potentially lethal treatment on herself.
Morris is now free on bond but the probe by the Miami Gardens Police and health officials is continuing.
Dr Dr John Martin, who is now treating Ms Narinesingh, said he has been giving her therapeutic injections that he hopes will eventually soften the hard nodules that formed in her face and return her to a more normal appearance.
'There is not an easy solution to this nightmare,' he said.
Ms Narinesingh says she is grateful to Dr Martin for trying to help give her a face back.
'I have learned my lesson,' She said. 'I could have died. I know that now.
