In any surgical procedure, there are risks, however, these can be reduce when you choose a good specialized professional equipment (plastic surgeon and Anesthesiologist) and make sure they are located in a recognized authorized clinic , with appropriate staffing and infrastructure and agile processes to resolve any complication. Not fall into false promises and low costs of aesthetic plastic surgeries.
For your safety and health research in the trajectory of the surgeon, testimonies from his patients, certification of establishments and the quality of products and prostheses to use, since it is possible that these do not have been approved officially by the INVIMA. As a expert on the subject, I advise my patients to carry out this process of recognition so that they have full confidence in the work of a board certified plastic surgeon.
Make sure to:
• Check that the plastic surgeon as poosible is a member of the Colombian society of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
• Notice that who perform the surgical procedure must be a specialist in plastic surgery.
• Make sure the clinic or provider institution of services of health-IPS - chosen is appropriate to carry out the intervention and that has beeen authorised by the branch secretariat of health and Social protection of their Department.
• Doubt about rates or excessive economic plans. Sometimes, to reduce costs, will obviate essential requirements such as medical experience or the quality of the materials and clinics.
• Do not allow that any type of surgical procedure is performed in a doctor's office, more beautiful that looks like. Remember that it is invasive procedures and that for your safety always they must be performed in an operating room of an institution authorized by the competent authorities.
