A 49-year-old woman in New York City will spend several years behind bars for killing a 48-year-old woman by illegally injecting silicone into the victim’s buttocks and thighs without any kind of medical license. A Bronx County supreme court judge on Thursday ordered Whalesca Castillo to serve a sentence of four to eight years in a state correctional facility in connection with the 2017 death of Lesbia Ayala, authorities confirmed to Law&Crime.

The sentence was handed down after Castillo in December reached a deal with prosecutors and agreed to plead guilty to one count of second-degree manslaughter and one count of second-degree assault over the deadly buttock augmentation injection she illegally provided inside of her home in the Bronx.

“The defendant illegally injected the victim with a silicone substance for cosmetic purposes. Tragically, the injections killed the victim,” Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said in a statement.

“The defendant also performed a (separate) dangerous cosmetic procedure that left another woman with substantial pain,” the DA noted.

The other procedure, which resulted in the assault charge, stemmed from a 2018 incident in which Castillo illegally injected a 39-year-old woman with silicone.

The nonlethal procedure was also an attempt to “enhance the buttocks of the victim,” but instead left her with “extensive infections and pain in her buttocks and thighs,” the DA’s office said. As a result of Castillo’s actions, the victim was forced to have “most of the tissue in the affected area” surgically removed.
