As a society, we are becoming more educated about the dangers associated with cosmetic procedures, such as wrinkle fillers Salt Lake. As recently as 2011, a newspaper in Florida was reporting on the death of a woman from "complications of liposuction and a buttocks enhancement procedure." Obviously some cosmetic procedures, such as laser skin resurfacing Utah, pose less risk of harm or injury than more invasive procedures, such a liposuction or augmentation; however, any time major changes are made to the physical appearance of the body through the use of needles or surgery, there is always an inherent risk.
Because of the risks involved, many states have started to regulate the number of procedures that can be performed at one time on a single patient. These regulations do not just consider how many procedures are being performed, but also their complexity as well. It may seem obvious, but a combination of procedures such as wrinkle fillers Salt Lake and laser skin resurfacing Utah carries a lower level of risk for complications then a procedure that combines liposuction and buttocks reshaping, more invasive procedures entirely. Regulation for training requirements and inspections of surgery offices has also increased in an effort to assure the highest standard of safety for cosmetic procedures routinely performed.
A report in the LA Times was also recently published alleging allegations of sexual misconduct between a cosmetic surgeon and his patients. Cosmetic procedures performed by this doctor ranged from wrinkle fillers Salt Lake to full body makeovers. Not only was this doctor under investigation for inappropriate conduct with patients at his office, but a surgical center which he owned was also under intense investigation concerning lax regulations. In this particular surgical center, a 39-year old mother of five was pronounced dead from an "accidental puncture wound."
With so many serious and even deadly reports being related, are any cosmetic procedures even safe? The plethora of disturbing information seems to indicate that even the most harmless of procedures, such as wrinkle fillers Salt Lake, pose not only serious risks, but also the possibility of death. Because of all the "bad press" concerning cosmetic procedures, some cosmetic surgeons are speaking out, noting some important things to watch out for. They report that the most common denominator in physicians with questionable practices seems to be either inadequate credential to begin with, straying beyond their specialty, or operating in a facility that does not have proper credentials.
So here is a short list of absolute requirements before making any decisions about surgeons or procedures to have performed. The doctor should be board certified in his specialty and only perform procedures within that specialty. A fellowship in cosmetic surgery should be given high regard when it comes to selecting a physician. Any cosmetic procedures should be performed in a surgery center or hospital with proper credentials. Credentials should be awarded by one of the following: State Department of Health, the US Department of Health and Human Services or another independent accrediting organization. And finally, a specialist in anesthesiology should administer all anesthesia needs. This can be either a doctor anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist, but qualifications of the anesthesiologist are critical.
Whether you are considering wrinkle fillers Salt Lake, laser skin resurfacing Utah, liposuction or beyond, it is important to note that all cosmetic procedures pose at least some inherent risks.
