I find it hard to believe that the australasian college of cosmetic surgeons is serious about regulating its members code of conduct, when their is no one regulating their organisations own code of conduct. I made a complaint to the australasian college of cosmetic surgeons about one of their members and was told they would be in contact with me in due course (whatever that means) that was 1 1/2 months ago and I have not heard from them since. Giving them accreditation with the ACCC would further place patients contemplating surgery with one of their untrained Dr's at risk. Plastic surgery should only be performed by qualified plastic surgeons. It takes plastic surgeons seven years of post graduate training to qualify to perform plastic surgery on patients and there is a very good reason for it. Yet the govt is allowing GP's with no qualifications to perform cosmetic surgery on the unsuspecting public. Individuals whether they are contemplating cosmetic surgery or any surgery in general are all patients and deserve the same care and treatment.

My name is Deidre Nolan and I am one of the activists in Australia trying to warn women and girls about the dangers of cosmetic surgery in this country. Its an unregulated industry in this country and any doctor is allowed to call him or herself a cosmetic surgeon. I am constantly hearing from distressed and disfigured women who have paid thousands of dollars, and undertaken serious procedures with doctors who said they were 'specialists' but who were really just GP's. There's a lot of word games and deceptions going on, and women are being ripped off and ripped up in this dangerous industry.I've just had a letter from an Asian woman who believes that Asian women are being lured to Australia by unsafe surgeons in this field. Its an irony actually because many doctors in cosmetic surgery in Australia are always telling women here not to go to Asia to have cosmetic surgery because its too dangerous over there! Perhaps some of them are just worried about the profits going offshore, instead of into thier own pockets! Make no mistake, cosmetic surgery is very bloody dangerous here in Australia too!
Please be warned, and google on my name to find my blogs and youtube publications for further information. Deidre Nolan

even the docs that are members of supposedly accredited organisations can be very dodgy, and over estimate their abilities. They are the "have a go at anything" surgeons. Egos are huge!!!When things go wrong they just deny everything.It is heartbreaking the butchering they get away with.
