End illegal cosmetic surgeries

KL: Botched breast enlargement (June 20) Thursday, June 23rd, 2011 10:54:00

IT is regrettable to once again hear of a botched breast enhanchment procedure carried out on an unsuspecting lady from Pahang, who believed the surgery was being done by a qualified practitioner from overseas.

The job done was so bad, she now has to seek surgical aid from a genuinely qualified plastic surgeon, to help save her breasts.

She has even had to seek help from Datuk Michael Chong to obtain compensation for the pain and suffering she has had to endure.

It is time for the government to enact a law that will not only put a stop to unqualified surgeries, but also demacate provision of specialised services into professional categories.

This should clearly define what services are to be provided by barbers, hairdressers and beauty salons, trichologists and skin specialists, cosmetic or plastic surgery centres and fitness centres, to name a few.

Monitoring and enforcement should follow. Then perhaps, we will see an end to this current nonsense.
