The FDA is releasing an advisory about the dangers of illegal plastic surgery. It is a growing and dangerous trend that consumers are using unlicensed practitioners to save money on cosmetic procedures, particularly with silicone "filler" injections.
If the patient is lucky, they'll survive the procedure with a bad result. Several recently have been not so lucky, risking death due to complications at the hands of an unqualified practitioner.
Patients who have seen an illegal practitioner for cosmetic surgery should seek the help of a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate what was done and perform any necessary revision surgery to obtain the best possible result.
