Plastic surgeons in the United States have issued a warning about so called medical practitioners who have had minimal training in cosmetic surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, according the group of Virginian surgeons, quackery is a growing trend, with many of these unqualified people performing operations in their offices. It is alleged that patients are seeking surgery on the cheap, which is spawning this growth.<\/p>\n

The Virginian doctors raised the matter with their local medical board. However the latter refused their recommendations, and asked the surgeons for evidence before accepting the need for further regulation.<\/p>\n

This has disappointed the doctors. One cosmetic surgeon, Victoria Vastin told reporters: \u201cWe are not asking you to regulate the minor procedures. We`re asking you to look at the high-risk procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, plastic surgery is growing in popularity in a number of countries not generally known to have it, let alone approve it. One of these nations is Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Many Pakistani women are spurning the spa for Botox and other therapies in order to enhance a youthful appearance. In fact the range on offer is growing including Botox, face lifts, laser therapy and nose jobs.<\/p>\n

While it could be argued that Western ideals are transplanting Asian or Islamic ideals held by the older generation, younger people are more accepting. Further, women from all different socio-economic backgrounds are taking the plunge.<\/p>\n

Self esteem is now as important as beauty.<\/p>\n
