Tara Reid was on the Today show today talking about her plastic surgery experience. It’s a nice interview. She is really doing the public a service to let them know that there are people out there doing plastic surgery who are not real plastic surgeons. Even in my geographic vicinity, there is a plethora of doctors who perform plastic surgery who have no formal plastic surgery training at all. It’s extremely frustrating to see so many of their complications. Most of them could have been prevented had the surgery been performed by a competent plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. There’s a reason I don’t perform tonsillectomies, treat diabetes, or remove cataracts. I don’t perform surgeries I haven’t been properly trained to do. I wish other doctors in town would do the same.
