The FDA is releasing an advisory regarding the dangers of unlicensed cosmetic surgery. It is a growing and dangerous trend that patients are seeking out illegal practitioners to save money on cosmetic procedures, particularly with silicone "filler" injections.
If a patient is lucky, they'll survive the procedure with a bad result, requiring revision surgery from a qualified plastic surgeon. Many recently have not been so lucky, spurring the FDA into action.
Patients who have seen an illegal practitioner for cosmetic surgery should seek the counsel of a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate what was done and perform any necessary revision surgery to obtain the desire result.
