The true price of cheap cosmetic surgery

It is crucial for consumers to take their time in selecting who will be performing their cosmetic procedure. Many places and individuals that are not qualified are performing outpatient procedures at a discounted rate, but with catastrophic results! To take precaution, patients should be familiar and educated on the three P’s of getting a cosmetic procedure done as safely as possible: Product, Practitioner, and Place.

1. Product – Do your homework! Double check that the product you are getting injected with is an FDA approved product for the particular area you are wanting injected. The FDA has approved certain products for injection into different regions of the face for cosmetic purposes, like Botox, Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Sculptra. There is no synthetic material that has been approved by the FDA for injection in the breasts so that is a red flag itself.

2. Practitioner – Know what type of practitioner to go to like a physician trained to do cosmetic procedures or his/her designee such as a doctor board-certified in plastic surgery. Many experienced plastic surgeons will have examples of before and after photos on previous patients that you can view. Always ask questions until you are comfortable and have established a relationship with your doctor.

3. Place – Don’t get injected in a place that you feel uncomfortable undergoing a procedure in such as a salon, mall, or private home. These are medical procedures and they should be performed in a medical office or medical facility due to its sanitary environment with additional resources at hand if needed.
