South Plainfield Woman Charged with Unlicensed Practice of Medicine

The South Plainfield Police Department, in conjunction with the Middlesex County
Prosecutor’s Office commenced an investigation into Yamile Mattos, 61, of South
Plainfield, who offered cosmetic procedures, including gluteoplasty and facial wrinkle
removal to the public.

Mattos was arrested and charged with unlicensed practice of medicine, and possession with the intent to distribute prescription legend drugs, and counterfeit or misbranded prescription legend drugs.

On Tuesday, December 17, 2024, police arrested Mattos after undercover investigators met her at 2500 Park Avenue in South Plainfield for consultations on available medical and cosmetic procedures.

During the undercover operations, Mattos told undercover officers her name was Adrianna. She offered the officers various services and showed them before and after pictures of purported clients on her cell phone. While inside the home, undercover officers observed boxes labeled lidocaine and dermal fillers.

Following Mattos’ arrest, police recovered syringes, dermal fillers, lidocaine, and
other substances, as well as various tools and devices for performing cosmetic procedures from the home.

Investigators said that Mattos had no requisite licensing for performing her services.

The investigation is active and continuing. Anyone with information is asked to call
Detective Kayla Hueston of The Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-745-4268,
or Detective Christopher Blath of the South Plainfield Police Department at 908-226-7664.

As is the case with all criminal defendants, the charges against Mattos are merely
accusations, and she is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
