Bad judgement and good outcomes are generally mutually exclusive barring unpredictable strokes of luck. The surgeon and the patient often share the responsibility, perhaps to greater and lesser extents, when any compromise of an optimal plan is agreed upon.
Former Miss Argentina Solange Magnano.
In the case of former Miss Argentina, Solange Magnano, her death is an absolute tragedy. The quest for beauty can have disastrous consequences as it did in her case. The saddest part is that she was already beautiful! She succumbed to pulmonary and cerebral embolisms
following fat injections of the buttocks.
Unfortunately, this is a known complication of autologous fat injections
and has been described in multiple areas of the body including the face and
buttocks. Of course, surgical
technique can contribute to this adverse outcome as fragmentation of the
parenchyma or tissue being injected can increase the likelihood of
embolization. While such
devastating complications can occur in any surgeon's hands, one can reduce the
risk significantly by seeking a plastic surgeon who is board certified and has
an excellent track record. While board certification will mean different things in different countries, experience, reputation, hospital affiliations, approved surgical facilities, and good judgement will always mean the same thing - quality and safety.

How does one find a board certified plastic surgeon?
Jeff Weinzweig, MD said:
The most reliable way to find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) is through the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Only surgeons certified by the ABPS are eligible for membership to the ASPS. If you go to the ASPS website (www.plasticsurgery.org) you will be able to obtain a list of board certified plastic surgeons in your area. Good luck!

I lost 85 lbs 4 years ago. I exercise daily and have not been able to lose the stretched skin. I am 48 years old. What would you suggest to lose the streched skin around my waist?

Thanks for another great question. Please refer to my recent post, "Damn You Stretch Marks!"

It is better to be contented of yourself than to try for a plastic surgery because we don't know of what will happen to us after having that procedure...
More and more people are becoming fond of plastic surgery. You see a wrinkle, even a tiny one, and that means a facelift is due. People are getting far too obsessed with how they're going to look in their coffins, because they want the worms to think they're gorgeous, which leads to cash advances for what amounts to polishing the brass on the Titanic. Solange Magnano, for instance, is a perfect example. She basically gave up her life, leaving behind a husband and 7-year-old twins, just to have a firmer behind.
