A person was rushed to the hospital after receiving an illegal liposuction procedure at a Somerville home, police in Everett say. People in both areas were stunned to see a large-scale law enforcement investigation.

A person who underwent an illegal liposuction procedure at a home in Somerville, Massachusetts, had to seek out medical care after returning home, according to police in neighboring Everett.

Everett police said a patient who lives in their city went home after the procedure, which took place at a private home. That person ended up at a Cambridge Health Alliance facility. Their condition was not immediately clear.

Somerville police deferred to the Middlesex District Attorney's Office. NBC10 Boston has reached out to the DA for more information.

Sabrina Cavileri says she lives near the victim and never expected anything like this.

"It's awful," she said. "I don't know who would trust someone doing it from a house, but either way, it's just a sad situation."
