ORLANDO, Fla. – An Orlando doctor who was indicted on charges in October 2024, accused of offering silicone injections for a “gluteal augmentation procedure,” has pleaded guilty.
Nhan Pham, 54, faces up to 3 years in prison after pleading guilty to receipt in interstate commerce and proffered delivery of an adulterated device.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Pham ordered silicone oil online and injected it into his patients for butt enhancement procedures at his office and home from 2015 to 2019.
“Pham inaccurately represented to his patients before performing the procedures that the substance he was injecting into their bodies was ‘safe,’ ‘natural,’ and would dissolve over time,“ a release said. ”After receiving the silicone oil injections, patients experienced complications, such as sharp and severe pain, discomfort, discoloration, itchiness, burning, inflammation, soreness, and hardness in the injection areas.”
One of the patients Pham offered silicone oil injections to was an undercover agent in September 2019, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Pham will be sentenced on Aug. 14.
