• Plastic, or cosmetic surgery has acquired
  somewhat of a stigma over the years, as people
  really do not consider cosmetic procedures to be
  true surgery. The fact is, Cosmetic Surgery is
  indeed a surgical procedure and should be treated
  with all the thoroughness and care as such. This
  should include utilizing the services of only the
  most qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeons,
  and when these procedures are sought in countries
  where the standards are low to non-existent, you
  run serious risk of personal injury or death.
• In most countries abroad where these services are
  sought, the individuals who provide the services
  are usually not licensed physicians in fact,
  many learned the basics of the trade out of
  library borrowed textbooks or over the Internet.
  Since there are no governmental regulations over
  cosmetic procedures in many of these countries,
  they are practicing something they have no
  credentials to practice with no threat of
  consequence to anyone but the patient. These are
  the facts.
