Dr. Tong Hai, Head of the Department of Microsurgery and Reconstruction, Center for Plastic Surgery and Reconstructive Surgery, National Burn Hospital, said: Recently, the Center for Plastic Surgery and Reconstructive Surgery, National Burn Hospital has recorded many cases of patients coming for treatment after experiencing cosmetic complications.
Patients fall into two main groups. The first group is those who use the service by amateur or inexperienced doctors who do not screen for complications.
Group two are cases performed at spas, beauty salons, not clinics, performed by staff who are not doctors or medical staff. This group often leaves behind consequences that are difficult to overcome.
Dr. Hai said he was very concerned because some complications could leave long-term consequences for patients, affecting not only their health but also their psychology and quality of life.
Many patients come in with panic and anxiety when they have a stroke. Having to undergo treatment is not only costly but also psychologically damaging to the patient.
Explaining the cause of this situation, this expert said that many people do not have enough knowledge about cosmetic methods, therefore, risks and complications can occur.
"They often rely on advertisements or opinions from friends, easily getting caught up in new cosmetic trends without carefully considering safety and effectiveness. In addition, many people have the mentality of looking for cheap services, leading to choosing facilities with low prices but not ensuring quality. This can lead to serious consequences," said Dr. Hai.
Some people choose unqualified or unlicensed cosmetic facilities. These facilities may not ensure safety and service quality, and there is a risk of HIV, hepatitis, syphilis, etc. because the workers are not medical staff and do not understand the sterile process, leading to cross-infection.
In addition, many people do not consult a doctor or specialist before deciding to undergo cosmetic procedures. The lack of professional advice can lead to wrong decisions.
To perform safe cosmetic surgery, experts recommend that people should go to licensed clinics, cosmetic centers, cosmetic hospitals, and general hospitals with cosmetic departments - where there are highly specialized doctors and modern equipment.
People should also consult with a cosmetic specialist, to get advice on methods, risks, and help determine which method is best suited to each person's needs and health condition.
At the same time, learn about the main effects of drugs, chemicals, and implant materials when introduced into the body, unwanted side effects, risks, and possible complications. Pay attention to ingredients that can cause common allergic reactions, place of manufacture, expiration date, etc.
"People who want to be beautiful, if they want to have cosmetic surgery, must be adults with full capacity for action and take responsibility for their own decisions when having cosmetic surgery," the doctor said.
People who should not undergo cosmetic surgery are those with chronic incurable diseases such as heart failure, kidney failure, cirrhosis; blood diseases (acute - chronic myeloid leukemia), prolonged anemia, difficult-to-control diabetes, blood clotting disorders (maintaining continuous medication); and systemic diseases in the progression stage. For example, people with lupus erythematosus, scleroderma... when undergoing surgery will flare up, causing serious illness.
People with psychological instability, anxiety depressive disorders, schizophrenia or long-term dependence on stimulants are also contraindicated.
