Cosmetic surgery education campaign launched

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia has launched an education campaign for anyone wanting cosmetic surgery or surgical implants.

The advertisements, running in local newspapers, encourages people to ask the right questions before getting a cosmetic procedure done. The college also provides a list of questions patients can take to a doctor or a non-medical cosmetics salon.

"On the one hand it's medicine, on another hand it's something a little different," said Dr. Gus Grant, the registrar and CEO of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia.

"We don't want that sense of it being different from your typical doctor's visit to prevent patients from getting what they're entitled to, which is an informed opinion about the nature of the decision."

The education campaign was prompted by a high-profile case in Ontario, where a 32-year-old woman died after a liposuction procedure went wrong.

Dr. Richard Bendor-Samuel, a plastic surgeon in Halifax, said a public awareness campaign is needed with more general practitioners making home visits for Botox parties and dental surgeons doing face lifts.

"I've seen burns from facial procedures that were done that you wouldn't really expect a burn for pigmentation," he told CBC News on Friday.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia has no jurisdiction over spas and salons where the staff are not doctors. It's an issue the college says it's starting to think about.

"A number of these new cosmetic procedures are invasive procedures that carry risks with them that are inherently, by feel, medical in nature," said Grant.

Bendor-Samuel said in the end, the provincial government must decide what work should be done by doctors.

"Physicians can't regulate the dentists or the aestheticians or just the general people who are opening up private practices, private clinics that have nothing to do with medicine but are doing semi-medical procedures," he said.

WORCESTER, Mass., Nov. 16, 2011 -- /PRNewswire/ -- Stuart H. Bentkover, MD, announces that Bentkover Facial Plastic Surgery and Laser Center in Stoneham and Worcester, Massachusetts, now has the Pelleve� Wrinkle Reduction System, a revolutionary skin-tightening system for non-ablative facial rejuvenation.

Patients report that the treatment is warm, relaxing and without any associated pain. "Pelleve is certainly an effective weapon in the war against wrinkles and I am excited to provide this new, and safe, technology at my practices?at an affordable price and with no downtime. While we cannot reverse the aging process; we can, however, make your skin look better as you age and Pelleve is one solution that works."

Michelle Pfeiffer - Michelle Pfeiffer Would Have Plastic Surgery

Michelle Pfeiffer is "all for plastic surgery".

The stunning 53-year-old actress admits she would consider having a little nip-and-tuck if she felt she needed it but has blasted people who go too far claiming they make her "uncomfortable".

She told America's Elle magazine: "I'm all for a little something here and there - fine. It doesn't matter to me if people have plastic surgery or they don't, or if they do Botox. But when people don't look like themselves anymore, that's when you kind of go, 'Oooh,' and it's kind of sad. It's uncomfortable for us, but if they're happy with what they see in the mirror, does it matter?"

However, Michelle's opinion is in direct contrast to a number of Hollywood stars who have recently blasted the entertainment industry's obsession with youth.

Emma Watson said: "I do worry about the expectation to look a certain way. I find LA quite scary because of that - all those young people having plastic surgery. But the thing is, I don't want to look like everyone else.

"I don't have perfect teeth, I'm not stick thin. I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that she loves it and doesn't want to change anything."

While Dame Helen Mirren has said: "The only thing I don't like on young people is plastic surgery.

"The purity of youthful beauty is so fantastic to me that it's horrific when young girls get fake things."

Considering Cosmetic Surgery in Thailand? - Associated Content

Dedication to beauty and anti-aging is very expensive for the average person to maintain. That was before the rise of medical tourism. Cosmetic surgery in Thailand, India and Singapore is the latest affordable option available for the regular person seeking to look like a celebrity or simply to improve a few flaws. In Thailand, however, quality medical care meets the countries expertise in tourism. The result is a cosmetic surgery holiday in luxury with round-the-clock medical care. There are a few reasons such an option may be the right one for you.

Thai medical tourism isn't a fad.

According to the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, an estimated 19 million international travelers came to Asia seeking cosmetic surgery in 2005. By 2008, the institute found that more than 300,000 such patients visited Thailand alone. These numbers are increasing steadily each year, with no signs of subsiding.

Thailand's Cosmetic Surgery Facilities and Doctors are Accredited

The medical tourism guide Health-Tourism.com states that more than 200 doctors in the small nation of Thailand hold American medical licenses. In fact, many of the Thai doctors are licensed, trained internationally and work at internationally accredited hospitals specializing in cosmetic surgery. Bangkok, Thailand, for example, is home to Bumrungrad International Hospital - a hospital holds accreditation by the American institution Joint Commission International and International Organization for Standardization.

Have Plastic Surgery and Heal in Luxury

The popularity of medical tourism in Thailand has led to medical tourism agencies that offer plastic surgery Thailand packages. The trips offer:
