You Can Forget About The Brazilian Butt Lift And Boob Job Now:

Bloomberg just reported the newest addition to the list of countries cracking down on unethical and hazy cosmetic surgery standards- Brazil. This move by the Federal Medical Council seeks to dispel relations between Brazil’s plastic surgeons and the lending offices, stating the latter as against medical ethics and exposing patients to serious risks.

This move will critically hamper Brazil’s tourist industry and more importantly the medical tourism sector. Due to the inexpensive plastic surgery rates in this part of the world, Brazil has made itself a haven for cosmetic surgery patients.

Breast augmentations and operations that would usually cost a lot in the U.S. are the prime drawers of medical tourists to this country. The lending offices that proliferated as a supplement to this industry offered patients elaborate and attractive offers and low interest rates.

Plastic surgery practices elsewhere in the world are undergoing a similar transformation. While to an extent the questions raised about standards and ethical issues in plastic surgery are commendable, the repercussions on the average man or woman’s accessibility to cosmetic surgery could be threatened.

It’s a difficult debate and whatever the conclusion, medical boards, patients and cosmetic surgeons will not settle without a fight. In the meanwhile, you can head for your breast enhancement procedure to the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.
