Woman accused of running illegal cosmetic clinic bonds out of jail

OAKLAND PARK, Fla. — A 35-year-old woman is accused of operating an illegal cosmetic clinic out of her Oakland Park home, according to newly obtained court documents.

Megan Whitcomb bonded out of jail Friday night after being arrested on charges of practicing medicine without an active license and using two-way communication to facilitate a felony.

Investigators say Whitcomb offered cosmetic procedures, including Botox and buttock injections, from a makeshift office inside her home. According to a criminal complaint, a victim paid approximately $5,000 for the services.

The victim told investigators she was contacted by Whitcomb through social media, where Whitcomb offered discounted cosmetic treatments.

“She reached out to me through social media and asked if I was interested in her services and told me that she could give me a really good price, and I agreed to it,” the victim told Local 10 News.

The victim said she visited Whitcomb three times between July and September 2024. She said Whitcomb claimed to be a licensed medical provider but refused to show any medical identification or proof of licensure.

“Yes, she told me that she had her license, but she refused to give any medical ID or any proof,” the victim said.

According to the complaint, the injections left the victim unable to walk and in extreme pain. She later sought medical treatment, where doctors allegedly found foreign substances in her body.

“I was under the impression that I was getting hyaluronic acid, but they were saying that they saw other things such as tap water, baby oil and a bunch of different foreign things inside me,” the victim said.

The complaint states the injection sessions lasted anywhere from eight to 12 hours, during which the victim was in severe pain and, at times, screaming.

“It felt like I was being stabbed,” she said.

The victim also told investigators Whitcomb allegedly gave her pills to help manage the pain and, during at least one visit, provided her with a substance she believed was a “rock crystal.”

“I feel like they were drugs because I’ve never taken anything that looks like that or tasted like that,” the victim said.

When asked about the allegations while bonding out of jail, Whitcomb denied wrongdoing.

“There is no victim,” Whitcomb said. “I’ve never done anything wrong.”

In December, undercover detectives contacted Whitcomb and arranged an appointment, leading to her arrest, authorities said.

The victim said she hopes the case prevents others from being harmed.

“I hope that she learns her lesson and that she doesn’t continue to do this unless she’s actually licensed, because it could really hurt somebody or kill somebody,” she said.

As part of her release conditions, Whitcomb has been ordered not to practice medicine or administer injections of any kind.
