Liposuction at home kills

• Tuesday August 1, 2006 | Posted in: Plastic Surgery Procedures

  This is another one of those news reports that talk about plastic surgery accidents due to irresponsibility. Just recently, a young woman died after undergoing liposuction surgery in the basement of a condominium in Framingham, Massachusetts.

  Yahoo! News tells the story.

  The Ribeiros have apparently traveled regularly between Brazil and Massachusetts for two or three years, Coakley said. The defendants charged from $1,800 to $3,000 per procedure and relied on word-of-mouth referrals for business, she said.

  The surgeries were performed on a massage table in the basement of a local condominium, prosecutor Lee Hettinger said.

  Plastic surgery is a risky endeavor even under the hands of a reputed surgeon and with the presence of modern equipments. How much more if an unlicensed physician would do the operation inside the basement of a condominium of all places?
