Newton Woman Indicted Over Alleged Unlicensed Eyelid Surgery, Doctor Impersonation

Prosecutors describe an unlicensed blepharoplasty that left a 22-year-old with permanent scarring.

Overview

  • Dingrui Wang, 34, was indicted Jan. 29 and faces charges including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, kidnapping, larceny by false pretense, and unauthorized practice of medicine.
  • Officials say she posed as a physician and performed a double eyelid procedure in January 2020 at an unlicensed site at 57A Brighton Ave. in Allston.
  • Prosecutors allege she injected local anesthetic and non–FDA‑approved dermal fillers during the surgery, which they say caused permanent scarring.
  • The victim allegedly tried to leave after one eyelid was completed, but Wang pushed her back onto the table and prevented her from leaving until the procedure ended.
  • Authorities further allege she misrepresented suspended professional licenses on a loan application to obtain $37,379, and she is scheduled for arraignment Feb. 5 in Suffolk Superior Court.
