Cosmetic Surgery Poses Risks

CHOICE, a consumer group exposing the seedy side of the cosmetic surgery industry and tricks doctors use to promote their services, says in a recently released study, wherein three would-be patients tested thirty surgeons in Brisbane and Sydney, reveals patients were often not adequately informed of the risks faced in having cosmetic surgery.

NOTE: the cosmetic sugery is having in the face and informed of the risks face.

According to Christopher Zinn, the spokesperson for CHOICE, one woman was offered a discount of $1700/-, if she allowed 'before and after' photos to be published on the Internet. Another was told breast implants would help her find a boyfriend, while as an example of the doctor's handiwork, one woman was shown the breasts of a sales consultant at the clinic.

CHOICE's secret operation discovered women seeking consultations for breast surgery, liposuction and botox were often not informed of all risks, while finance companies and brokers made expensive loan offers to potential patients.

Which is why, earlier this week, a Code of Conduct for cosmetic surgeons was rejected, as it failed to provide sufficient consumer protection.

Ten years ago, an inquiry recommended strict guidelines for the industry, which Sydney University Associate Professor Merrilyn Walton says have not been followed sufficiently, as of the 1000 cosmetic surgeons currently operating in Australia, many are GPs with no surgical training.

As Australians spend at least $130-million on breast augmentation and liposuction each year, CHOICE is advising people to research and educate themselves of potential risks before undergoing plastic surgery, as botched surgery has left some patients looking as if they have been mutilated. Patients should also check their doctor's qualifications and experience, before going in for any kind of surgery.

NOTE: INn the autralians spends at least $130-million , the patients shuold also check ther doctors.
