They may be dermatologists, gynecologist, maxillofacial surgeons and even general practitioners.<br /><br />This raises questions about the safety of procedures and the environment in which these procedures are done, not only in the US, but in Europe also. A few years ago,a Belgian GP performed a liposuction at his practice, with fatal results : the patient died the same day because of an overdosis of local anesthetics.<br /><br />In the Netherlands,a careless surgeon did a tummy tuck in his private practice. The patient died 3 days later from infection, because the good doctor did not bother to look after his patient postoperatively.<br /><br />The LA Times did a survey and found out that of 1876 interrogated "surgeons" only 495 were registered as plastic surgeons.<br />These same problems arise all over the world and in some countries -such as France- very drastic measures were taken to restrict these opportunistic activities by untrained doctors.<br /><br />Feel free to discuss the issue of safety in plastic surgery.

I will also write short articles about the world of plastic surgery which is somewhat different from the mainstream idea people have.<br /><br />On the other hand, I invite you to post comments and links and even your own articles to contribute to what I hope will be a healthy exchange of minds, opinions and controversies.<br />I'm not interested in a commercial approach to plastic surgery. I have to live and support a family but I don't push anything.<br /><br />English is not my native language, as you may have guessed. Nevertheless I believe the message is more important than the envelope.

The transplantation of fat is possible for buttocks but also for breast augmentation. If a patient doesn' want implants, this is the solution for small to medium sized augmentations ( injections of up to 250 cc of which about 40% does not survive)<br /><br />On their site you will find some interesting information : <a href="http://mybodyjet.com/"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">http://mybodyjet.com/</span></a>Ariesterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15630053093970924203noreply@blogger.com0
