We are seeing more and more reports of doctors not certified in plastic surgery performing breast augmentation. This trend is quite the cause for alarm. As a new station in Atlanta reports, a breast augmentation procedure went terribly wrong when the opthamologist performing her implant procedure was unable to stop her from bleeding. You read correctly. An eye doctor was performing her breast augmentation. While this woman survived after a call to 911 for help, others may not be so lucky.
Breast Implants USA wants to remind women of the importance of researching plastic surgeons before selecting one. When choosing a plastic surgeon you should verify there are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This certification ensures that your surgeon has had a minimum of 5 years of dedicated plastic surgery experience and passed rigorous testing. It also ensures that your procedure will be performed in the safest possible environment, an accredited facility.
