In recent years, it has become more common to hear about failed cosmetic surgery procedures, which may put the patient's’ health at risk.

With the increase in the popularity of cosmetic surgery, the number of options available to improve or change the body’s appearance of any part of your body has increased as well.

However, not investigating thoroughly the training, certifications, and experience of the surgeon that will carry out the procedure that you want to undergo, could transform your dream into a nightmare.

Although it may sound harsh, the reality is that there are many cheaters and scammers that try to take advantage of the vanity and good intentions of patients, harming their health and well-being for money, with the promise of delivering “the same results” for a fraction of the cost of a certified surgeon.

For little more than a decade, cosmetic procedures have increased in popularity and, thus, “alternative procedures” that put patients’ health at risk have also arisen.

In some cases, the results are not as expected and only end up being a waste of money; although, there are some cases where damage is irreversible and may cause facial and body changes in the patient, or even death, due to the use of toxic substances that should not be introduced into the human body, and that are used by scammers.

Tips for Choosing the Right Cosmetic Surgeon

• Make sure your surgeon has his Plastic Surgery Specialty License.
• Visit the clinic facility where your procedure will be getting done, and verify they own legit and up to date certifications.
• Look for online reviews, visit their web page, and social media pages, so that you can see if their patients are happy with their result and service.
• Compare prices with other doctors or clinics, make sure you are comparing between procedures done under the same techniques and technology. Also make sure your doctor is experienced and recognized. If prices are below average be suspicious.

Good Surgeons make sure to document their work, it is almost imperative that they own before and after pictures of their patients. You can ask to see them to corroborate if that kind of work is what you are looking for.

Allowing a non certified Doctor or Clinic to perform surgery on you because of their low cost is very dangerous, Our best advice for you is to avoid them.

No cheap cosmetic procedure is worth risking your health. Remember that the cost should not be a deciding factor when choosing a surgeon or a clinic for your surgery.
