In the wake of the disturbing findings of the recent CHOICE report on the practices of 30 Sydney and Brisbane cosmetic surgeons,The Hon. Dr Gordon Moyes MLC has called for GP's to be excluded from the practice of cosmetic surgery, and stated his view that Plastic Surgeons are the medics who are best placed to perform this kind of surgery.It is legal albeit highly controversial for GP's to describe themselves as cosmetic surgeons, and wield the knife in the practice of cosmetic surgery and in a lucrative industry, many do!
Plastic Surgeons have 7 to 10 years of properly accredited specialist training further to their basic GP qualification.
Dr Moyes says that problems in cosmetic surgery are further compounded by false and misleading advertising in the industry which is under regulated, and that women and girls are being placed tragically at risk in these circumstances.
