Wrinkle Filler Salt Lake And Other Cosmetic Procedures Inherently Carry Some Risk

As a society, we are becoming more educated about the dangers associated with cosmetic procedures, such as wrinkle fillers in Salt Lake. As recently as 2011, a newspaper in Florida was reporting on the death of a woman from “complications of liposuction and a buttocks enhancement procedure.” Some cosmetic procedures, such as laser skin resurfacing in Utah, pose less risk of harm or injury than more invasive procedures, such as liposuction or augmentation; however, any time major changes are made to the physical appearance of the body through the use of needles or surgery, there is always an inherent risk.

Because the risks involved in cosmetic procedures are often severe, many states have begun to regulate not only the number of procedures that can be performed at one time on a single patient but also the complexity of the procedures being performed. A combination of procedures such as wrinkle fillers in Salt Lake and laser skin resurfacing in Utah may be allowed while a procedure that combines liposuction and buttocks reshaping may not be in a single surgery because of the more invasive procedures being combined. Training requirement regulations and surgery office inspections have also increased to assure the highest standard of safety for cosmetic procedures is met.

Also in the very recent past, there was a report in the LA Times about a cosmetic surgeon accused of sexual misconduct with patients. This particular doctor performed cosmetic procedures ranging from wrinkle fillers in Salt Lake to full-body makeovers. The doctor was under investigation not only for inappropriate conduct with patients at his office but also because a surgical centre that he owned was also under intense investigation concerning lax regulations. A 39-year-old mother of five was left dead from what the coroner’s office deemed an “accidental puncture wound.”

With the numerous conflicting reports we either hear or read about, are cosmetic procedures even safe? There is plenty of disturbing information that may seem to indicate that even the most harmless of procedures, such as wrinkle fillers in Salt Lake, may pose some serious risks, including even death. However, some cosmetic surgeons are speaking out to note some things to watch out for. The common denominator in physicians that appear to have questionable practices seems to be those who have either inadequate credentials, to begin with, have strayed beyond their speciality, or who operate in a facility that does not have proper credentials, to begin with.

So what can be done to assure the safety of cosmetic procedures? These doctors recommend a list of absolute requirements for a surgeon or surgery centre. Any cosmetic doctor being considered should be board certified in a speciality area. They should only perform procedures within that speciality area. A cosmetic surgery fellowship is usually a good indication that your cosmetic surgeon knows what he is doing. Facilities for any cosmetic procedures should take place in a surgery centre or hospital that holds all necessary credentials. The State Department of Health, the US Department of Health and Human Services, or another independent accrediting organization should award these credentials. And a specialist in anesthesiology should administer all anaesthesia needs. A doctor anesthesiologist or nurse anaesthetist are both qualified to perform anaesthesia.

All cosmetic procedures, ranging from wrinkle fillers in Salt Lake to laser skin resurfacing in Utah to liposuction and beyond, carry some inherent risk.
