The unlicensed cosmetic surgeon who injected Priscilla Presley and other celebrities with low-grade silicone has been arrested.

Argentinian medic Dr. Daniel Serrano, nicknamed Dr. Jiffy Lube, was detained by immigration officials just a week after he was released from jail.

He had spent 15 months in prison after admitting conspiracy, smuggling and use of unapproved drugs in 2006.

Serrano, who was not licensed to practise in the US, had injected A-List clients with a "miracle" anti-wrinkle solution which actually consisted of industrial, low-grade silicone better suited to lubricating car parts.

TMZ reports that he was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Wednesday and may be deported.

It was recently revealed that Presley, who is currently appearing on US reality show Dancing With The Stars, was treated by Serrano in 2003.
