California ? A couple were arrested after authorities said they performed illegal and disfiguring cosmetic surgeries in their filthy home, filled with drugs and syringes.

Ha Nguyen, 48, and Zbigniew Makowski, 62, were arrested Wednesday on suspicion of practicing medicine without a license and child endangerment. Four children were removed from their home by child-welfare officials, authorities said.

Nguyen and Makowski were to be arraigned today; it was unclear whether they had retained attorneys. Both were in jail Thursday – Nguyen in lieu of $150,000 bail, Makowski in lieu of $50,000 bail, according to a jail spokesman.
