Doral Surgery: Spring for a Great Doctor!

Spring for a great doctor, like the board certified plastic surgeons at We Know Beauty, or the results could be terrible.

ABC News and its affiliates do some good reporting about bad cosmetic surgery these days. It makes us wonder sometimes if a high-ranking journalist didn’t get burned by an unlicensed or disreputable surgeon. Earlier this year they reported on California’s statewide crackdown on medispas that get away with operating without a licensed doctor.

Now their Miami affiliate has released a rather harrowing photo showing just how bad this mistake can be. If you’re like us, you prefer to look at more pleasant before and after photos from top plastic surgeons, not "surgical disasters" so if you’d like to see this photo, you’ll have to do a search.

Isabel Gonzalaez paid about $900 to get facial injections from a business called “Viviana's Body Secrets,” in Doral, FLA.  The owner, however, was an unlicensed massage therapist, allegedly not in any way certified to give facial injections. Poor Isabel spent two months in the hospital when swelling and infections set in. She may never be the same.

“There's a misperception that it's like getting your hair done," said ASAPS president Dr. Leo R. McCafferty. But he goes on to emphasize that plastic surgery is inherently safe when the doctors and the facilities are top notch.

At We Know Beauty, you can trust that your procedures are being done by some of the best plastic surgeons working today. Don't take a risk when the consequences can be this dire.
