Priscilla Presley is a beauty with a face that rivals Nefertiti's and/or the goddess Aphrodite or possibly even Loni Anderson. But as it turns out, she had a little help acheiving that sexy, immobile, eat-your-heart-out-boys-I-just-had-a-stroke look. And we're not talking about Botox. We're not talking about Restylane or collagen, neither. We're not even talking about tinkle and leeches. We're talking about high grade automobile lubricants. Reports TMZ:

TMZ has learned Priscilla Presley is the victim of a botched cosmetic procedure. What's worse -- it was at the hands of a gigolo who was sent to prison for perpetrating an injectable scam on Hollywood's elite.

Priscilla, whose face looks ... strange on "Dancing with the Stars," went to Dr. Daniel Serrano around 2003. Serrano was a good-looking doc from Argentina who hooked into Hollywood's social A-list and started giving them what he claimed were miracle injections that worked better than Botox.

In fact, Serrano was injecting industrial, low-grade silicone similar to what's used to lubricate auto parts in Argentina into the faces of these women. Several women, including Shawn King, Larry's wife, and Diane Richie, Lionel's wife at the time, held injection parties in their homes, with Serrano needling them with the non-FDA approved drug that he had smuggled in to the U.S. Shawn King has said the injections created a lump in her lip that made it difficult to speak and drink liquids. Serrano charged between $300 and $500 a pop.

Serrano, who was nicknamed Dr. Jiffy Lube, was indicted by the Feds for smuggling drugs, and the conspiracy and use of unapproved drugs. He was convicted, and last week he was released and is currently being investigated by federal immigration officials and could be deported.

Aw, hey. That's a totally honest mistake! When a Latin lover doctor whose hotness is bolstered by the fact that his surname is the same as a pepper appears to you with a mysterious syringe full of viscous goo that smells suspiciously of a Vo-tech repair class, and offers to inject it into your face for a nominal fee, how could you resist? It could've happened to anyone. Chin up, Priscilla! Not keeping your chin up is a problem, seeing how it's filled with industrial grade automotive silicones and all. more »
