NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.,
May 7, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- An April 29 article in New
Beauty reports on a case of medical tourism in Mexico that left two of three women with
severe complications, and the third deceased. The article reports
that all three women traveled together from California to Tijuana for procedures with the same doctor
who advertised himself as a plastic surgeon but who was not listed
with Mexico's Association for
Plastic Surgeons. The article says that the two surviving women
experienced kidney failure and sepsis while the third victim died
during the procedure from a lack of oxygen and blood supply.
Orange County-based plastic
surgeon Dr. Michael Jazayeri says
that this may be an extreme example, but tragedies of this type can
be a very real risk if prospective patients take risks with dubious
providers.
Dr. Jazayeri says he understands that money can be tight these
days, and the lure of cheap plastic surgery abroad in places like
nearby Mexico can be tempting.
However, he stresses that looking for a plastic surgery is not the
time to shop on price The Newport
Beach surgeon says that part of the reason these discount
procedures can be offered for a fraction of the cost here in the
U.S. is that many of these so-called doctors are not under strict
regulation and may not be fully qualified to perform plastic
surgery. Furthermore, Dr. Jazayeri says that when these procedures
go wrong or results are disappointing, patients end up spending
much more than planned on a secondary procedure to fix the
mistakes. They often end up paying a vastly larger price tag than
if they had gone to a fully qualified board-certified plastic
surgeon to begin with – and that's not including the pain and
heartache of living with a botched procedure.
Dr. Jazayeri says that while procedures may cost more at home,
patients are paying for a qualified plastic surgeon with years of
experience and knowledge. The Orange
County-based doctor says that individuals should, of course,
do thorough research while looking for the finest possible plastic
surgeon in the United States or
anywhere. In particular, Dr. Jazayeri says – whether they are
seeking out breast and buttock augmentation, a facelift, or any
other type of procedure, patients should only consider seeing a
board-certified plastic surgeon like himself. In addition to the
extra two years of study required to become a plastic surgeon,
board-certified plastic surgeons must undergo an additional
rigorous examination process overseen by top experts in the field
to obtain their qualifications.
