Scar treatment necessary after dealing with inexperienced surgeons
Pro-Sil™ - $18.50
Xeragel® (XSO-797) - $16.30The number of inexperienced plastic surgeons performing complicated procedures is on the rise and needs to be quelled, according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. Young and inexperienced plastic surgeons can leave disfigurements or scars on their patients, who must then turn to options such as silicone gel sheeting to achieve the look they desire.
The BAAPS is going so far as to suggest legislation be enacted to regulate the qualifications needed to perform procedures in the UK.
Although unskilled surgeons are common in poorer countries with less regulation, recently, qualified surgeons in the US and UK are lured by the wealth that plastic surgery, a growing industry, can bring.
Yet these surgeons may not have the experience to perform complicated procedures, such as breast augmentation surgery. If a surgeon cuts corners with the surgery in order to make it more affordable, the patient could be left with scars.
For those caught in this situation, silicone gel sheeting can help reduce the appearance of surgery scars.
Even an experienced surgeon can leave scars after a procedure, depending on the patient's own physiological susceptibility to scarring.
