Buttocks Augmentation Woe for Guzman
Celebrity Plastic Surgery Comments (0)
In a misguided attempt at “pleasing my boyfriend”, Latin Grammy winner Alejandra Guzman waltzed into a fly-by-night cosmetic surgery clinic in Mexico and had unnamed “substances” injected into her buttocks by a cosmetologist who only had a high school diploma.
Because the world series is still on everybody’s mind, maybe we can go with the flow and explain it like this:
Strike one: You should only have cosmetic plastic surgery to please yourself.
Strike two: The only thing you should have injected for buttocks augmentation is your own fat.
Strike three: The only person augmenting your buttocks should be a board-certified plastic surgeon. The procedure is difficult enough, even in the best of hands!
In this particular scenario: Guzman was called “out!” not by an umpire, but by a real doctor who hospitalized and treated Guzman for infection and a very real pain in the…well, hey, you get the idea!
So, to create a home run in this story, let’s back up and see how to avoid those strikes.
- You have an embarrassing facial or body feature you just can’t live with. Then, you should decide to see a qualified plastic surgeon. It doesn’t count if somebody else – even a parent or significant other — wants to “fix” you.
- Learn about the procedure online. It’s easy. (Hey, you’re doing it now!) Just type into a search box the name of the procedure you want and the city where you would like to have it done.
- Go to the website www.abms.org, register and type in the name of the plastic surgeon(s) you have found through your diligent online research.
Look for a board certification; it means the surgeon has many, many years of extra training (after medical school) and testing to make sure his or her knowledge is totally up to date.
The board-certification should show right up. Cosmetic surgeons who specialize in surgery of the head and neck will be board certified in Otolargyngology. Other plastic surgeons will be board certified in, well, plastic surgery.
But for a bases-loaded homer, don’t stop there!
Go the surgeon’s website and check for the doctor’s hospital privileges.
Then, take a gander at the surgeon’s before and after pictures of the procedure you want. There should be many.
After that, call for a consultation and see if you like the surgeon. If you don’t, see other surgeons until you are at ease.
