Dr. Christine Petti Performs a Large Number of
Corrective Surgeries to Repair Problematic Results of Treatment Performed by
Negligent or Unqualified Practitioners
LOS
ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 2, 2016) - The growing prevalence of
negligently performed, low-cost plastic surgery procedures and cosmetic
treatments is cause for concern, according to Los Angeles plastic surgeon
Christine Petti, MD. In her almost 30 years of private practice, she has seen
first-hand the devastating effects botched cosmetic enhancements can have on
the health and appearance of patients. Often, she is sought to correct
deformities and disappointing results created by other practitioners, many of
which could have potentially been avoided.
Too
frequently, Dr. Petti says she sees dissatisfied patients who have taken
advantage of an economically priced procedure that jeopardized the quality of
their care. "Patients may go to unqualified physicians, nurses, or
non-licensed individuals, and even out of the country where medical care is not
as expensive, but also may not be of high quality," she explains.
Dr. Petti
has seen all kinds of surgical disasters result from low-cost cosmetic
procedures performed in the United States and medical tourism destinations,
such as Mexico, Hong Kong, Dominican Republic, South America, and the Middle
East, to name a few. She finds that many of these cases involved "an
unqualified provider in a compromised, non-medical situation that is unsterile
and violates the quality standards of surgical care." In some of the cases
Dr. Petti has witnessed, practitioners have even utilized black market implants
and non-medical-grade injectables, which can cause severe complications and
disfigurement.
Though
the prices may be low, the risks to the patients are high, warns Dr. Petti. She
lists infection, poor circulation (which can lead to skin death), unnatural
results, scarring, negligent surgical errors, and even death as the potential
results from choosing a surgeon who lacks the proper skill, qualifications, and
ethics to perform cosmetic surgery.
At her
practice, Dr. Petti performs a significant number of corrective surgeries to
repair the disappointing results of botched facelifts, neck lifts, breast
augmentations, liposuction and other procedures. In some cases, complex
reconstructive techniques and multiple surgeries are required to rehabilitate
the form, function, and/or feel of the affected areas.
For those
who have been the victim of botched plastic surgery, Dr. Petti suggests
scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has
extensive experience in corrective and revision surgeries to fully evaluate any
physical and aesthetic concerns. A skilled surgeon may have the ability to
develop an effective treatment plan to repair damage and restore a more natural
appearance.
