Excellent article on cosmetic surgery.. Dr. Wayne Perron weighs in on the issue

[Calg-puffed]

Hi Guys

Just did a google search for Dr. Perron and CBC news came back with an article regarding botched plastic surgeries.  In brief, the article is about a woman who saw a doctor in Calgary for a simple liposuction and had to be rushed to hospital for necrotizing fascitis (flesh eating disease), because of a mistake this doctor made.  The doctor's name is Graham Hunter.  The article goes on to speak about how apparently in Canada, any general practitioner can do cosmetic surgeries by simply taking a few weekend courses, or even by just reading up on it.  For all you know, you may be the next doctor's first patient!  Plastic Surgeons take an extra 5 years of schooling ontop of their medical degree in order to do so.

Dr. Wayne Perron (Plastic Surgeon) is interviewed in this article as a doctor who corrected this woman's botched plastic surgery.  Please read.

Take a look here for user reviews (albeit for breast augmentation surgery), describing their experiences with certain doctors in Alberta.

This is why you have to do your 'homework' on the PS that you are considering. Make sure that the prospective PS has impeccable credentials and is very experienced in GRS.
