Cosmetic Surgery Laws Often Aren’t Enough

Early last year, Irma Carabajal LeCroy was a successful Dallas real estate broker who owned two homes, a luxury car, an SUV and a small office building. Today, she is out of work, uses a walker and wheelchair to get around and says she has nothing left to her name. And it’s because of what she thought was a minor cosmetic surgery procedure.

Creating Contour

Though liposuction has been in use in plastic surgery practices since the 1970s, it was not until Jeffrey Klein, MD, developed the tumescent technique in 1985 that the procedure gained widespread popularity.

Report: Facebook And Skype Leading To Increases In Plastic Surgery
