LOCAL WOMAN BUSTED IN BREAST TRANSPLANT SCHEME
Women who receive breast implants get a product that often does not seem lifelike to the touch. An entrepreneurial woman in Pasadena admits she formed a business plan to help these women. Texas prosecutors are calling her scheme illegal, and making plans to prosecute. Linda Walsockett, 25, allegedly teamed up with a clinic in Matamoros, Mexico, to purchase breasts from impoverished Mexican women, and transplant them to American women who are willing to pay as much as $100,000 per knocker. The Mexican women are paid about $500 each, without nipples. Until recently, breast transplants were very rare. The first successful human breast transplant was performed in 1986, by Dr. Kitchen Bonehard. Unlike internal organs, the chance of the body rejecting breasts is very low, although it has happened.
Walsockett admits to sporting an imported bust that was harvested from a 20 year old Mexican crackhead. The new bust is placed under the patient's existing breasts, below the skin. Investigators believe Walsockett is responsible for 20 such transplants, which are a violation of the Breast Enhancement Act.
