The high costs of the Cheap Surgery

MARTHA GAONA SOLÍS - Bogotá, Colombia

The plastic surgery in Colombia has some costs that are usually three times less than in any other country. The quality of the plastic surgery in Colombia this classified as one of the best of the world. Known it is that the countries that lead the plastic surgery in the world are Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.

There are people however that in spite of having the privilege of being able to benefit of those low costs, they still look for lower costs. To those people it is to who is directed and dedicated this editorial.

When you don't hire their plastic surgery with a plastic surgeon, but with one of those that are made call "aesthetic surgeons", you should know and it should be aware that their beauty and their health will give them to a person that is not endorsed by the SCCP, for not fulfilling the demanded requirements, and that for that reason it will charge him some low honorarium.

Or maybe rather should say that, the reason for which charges him some low honorarium, is because she will leave it..... this way: The patient that you go in that picture, believed that saved a quantity of money in her surgery with a supposed aesthetic surgeon. And it was exactly as well as left him their body.

She had the luck however of not having been worse, or of not having died, as so many people in the world that you die due to the famous liposuctions and dermolipectomías "cheap", in the whole sense of the word.

Those people that can persist in their idea of paying the possible minimum for their surgery, still have other alternatives that will still allow them a saving bigger. For example, in the city of Bucaramanga (in Colombia), there is a veterinarian that makes liposuctions to very interesting prices, and in Cali, Medellín and the rest of the world, there are several hairdressers that also make liposuctions at even smaller costs that those of the veterinarian, alone to mention some of the many examples that unfortunately there is.

The survivor of the picture of up, although "to the malas", comprendió the necessity to really go to a surgeon, to one of the certificates for the SCCP, and the result was the one that can appreciate in the following picture:

We don't publish patients' deceaseds pictures in the supposed aesthetic surgeons' hands, veterinarians, hairdressers and a long one etc. of fans, for an obvious respect toward the victims of those suppositions and absurd "savings" in liposuctions, or another type of procedures for those that the plastic surgeons endorsed by the SCCP are only qualified and authorized to practice them. Don't play with their beauty neither with their life. If today doesn't have the budget for a good plastic surgery, espere a tomorrow, when you have the appropriate budget. Nobody will never be able to give him a better advice. When you will request a plastic surgery, the first thing that should make it is to make sure that that surgeon is member of the SCCP. If it is not it, one choose different.

People don't sometimes understand that you is not a good idea to commend him the construction of her house, to the dressmaker, or to a lawyer, or that maybe I is not the most suitable thing that the repair of the motor of the car commends it to him one to its odontologist, or that.... the plastic surgery, in which one is not played alone the beauty (that is what looks for), but even the life, commends it to him and surrender to somebody that as the dressmaker, the lawyer or the odontologist, they didn't study 7 years of medicine, and then as minimum four additional years of plastic surgery.

The honorarium of the plastic surgeons in Colombia, they are all very similar ones, all they get paid three times less than in other countries, although they are inside the most advanced countries in plastic surgery, so don't make the error of being requesting him "rate" to several at the same time, because alone it will get that none answers him, since internally the mail of all has a centralization where they filter the redundant mail.

Choose one or two surgeons and send them an email or call them, but being you very aware that any Persian market doesn't exist where it can have any type of bargainings. She doesn't make any sense absolutely act in medicine topics, as she would make it in a commercial or mercantile environment.

With this article we look for that a growing number of people can understand and to assimilate that, as regards medicine, in general, and of plastic surgery in particular, it doesn't should neither it can never fit, an election with an approach of "I save". The to assimilate and to understand that concept will redound in saving many lives.
