Feature will be examining the handling of complaints about cosmetic health service providers in NSW in a new inquiry. ‘I welcome the news that the NSW Government is truly following through on its previous announcement and has in fact stepped up its level of concern with concrete action following raids on “back-alley” clinics in Sydney. It would be good to see this type of response in other states.’ Several cosmetic surgeons told the ABC they had increasing numbers of patients come to them for help after botched operations at secret, unlicensed facilities. The doctors were too scared to go on the record because they feared reprisals from illegal providers. ‘We have fly-in, fly-out, so-called experts coming in from Korea and China, who definitely don’t meet our medical requirements. And they can be in and out of the country before you know it,’ Mr Hazzard said. ‘The importance of seeing a registered health professional who focuses on cosmetic procedures cannot be stressed highly enough,’ says Dr Mary Dingley of the CPCA. ‘Registrations and licences are there for a reason – to ensure that people and products meet standards and can be tracked and held accountable in the event of any concerns. Going to see those who flout regulations and deliberately skirt standards, usually because they can’t meet those standards, is just asking for trouble.’ Dr Magnusson added: ‘While I can ‘It’s actually been horrifying. It’s far worse than what I could imagine as Health Minister.’ procedure purely on how cheap you can get it, then you have to think very carefully about how that particular clinic can obtain it cheaper than everyone else,’ Dr Russell Knudsen from the ACCS told ABC News. ‘In the past four to five months the suspicions that many of us in the industry have held have proven to be true by the investigations conducted by the NSW Health Department. They found a number of clinics in the Sydney area that are flying under the radar and breaching so many regulations. It’s outrageous.’ President of the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS) Dr Mark Magnusson said: ‘Earlier this year the NSW government announced that a Committee from the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) ‘I’ve treated women with burns and serious infections after visiting these places,’ one Sydney-based cosmetic surgeon told the ABC. The ABC was also told that one Sydney provider, who has no Australian medical qualifications and works out of her apartment, offers botulinum injections in calves to streamline the legs. ‘I see her patients hobbling around because she’s effectively paralysed their calves,’ another cosmetic surgeon said. ‘There has been a case of blindness in Victoria, and there has also been a case of skin necrosis to a woman’s nose following filler injections,’ said CPCA spokesperson Dr Catherine Porter. ‘Both were done by these fly-in, fly-out medical professionals who have not been registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Authority.’ fully understand the lure of cost being the main decision-driver for a person in many aspects of life, this should not be one of them. Compromising on the quality of care due to cost comes with an increased potential for poor outcomes. We see patients left with disappointing results, suboptimal scars, infections or in the worst case scenarios, blindness, skin loss and lifethreatening situations at the hands of providers who should have never picked up a syringe or used products that are not legal in Australia in the first place,’ he concluded. While these back alley clinics do exist, they are far from the norm. The key message for patients is the need to check practitioners’ credentials and see the original packaging of the products you are being treated with. No need for panic, but definitely knowledge is power. cbm www.cosbeauty.com.au 89
