An investigation has been opened in the case by the Málaga Prosecutors' Office.
The Malaga College of Doctors has asked the Prosecutors Office to investigate the case of a man who is working as a plastic surgeon in Marbella despite having no qualifications as a doctor.
They say he has a ‘high volume’ of clients, comes from another European country, and somehow managed to get a qualification recognised before a notary here.

President of the Málaga college, Juan José Sánchez Luque, said that he did not want to give any more personal details of the man concerned or how long he had been in practice, as investigations were continuing.

It seems the case came to light some three months ago on information provided by a patient.
