Real Plastic Surgeons Aren't On Reality TV
There is an interesting article over at Commercial Appeal which drives home a point that most people who get plastic surgery already realize: you want a good doctor to perform your cosmetic procedures. The article takes the much-publicized plastic surgery death of Donda West and points to the fact that Donda and many other people believed that her plastic surgeon was a good one simply because the surgeon had appeared regularly on television. The article goes on to make the point that surgeons who are more interested in celebrity status than daily procedures in their office are not the best doctors to turn to when you're seeking your own plastic surgery.
"Dr. Allen Hughes, senior partner in the Plastic Surgery Group of Memphis. "But the most responsible people in plastic surgery are not the ones making movies. They're operating on patients in a quiet, professional atmosphere and not seeking the sensation and notoriety of being on TV." (source)
The report also points out that plastic surgery deaths are very rare when the procedures are performed by reputable doctors. When you go in for a plastic surgery consultation, you will discuss your medical history with your doctor. If your doctor determines that you are unfit for plastic surgery, you should forego the procedure and take care of your health problems before getting cosmetic work done. This helps to reduce the
risks of plastic surgery and keep you safe.
It may be fun to watch McNamara and Troy do their work on
Nip/Tuck but celebrity television doctors are not the ones that you want holding the scalpel above your own body.
