Illegal liposuction doctor sentenced to 38 years

Source: KGUN9-TV (Tucson, AZ)


TUCSONG (KGUN9-TV) - He did liposuction surgeries in an old warehouse. After he had been arrested, he did lipo on people in his home bathroom.

Attorneys for both sides agree Gustavo Nunez never said he was a doctor, but prosecutors said he did plenty of things to make people believe he was qualified to do liposuction.

One of those patients ended up brain damaged. Others had emergency trips to the hospital.

Now Nunez is going to prison for more than 38 years.

The prosecution asked for fifty years, and he should have gotten it.
