People planning to give their loved one a nip and tuck at Christmas could be risking more than upsetting their partners – cheap seasonal offers with time limits are not to be recommended, a top surgeon has warned.
Professor Peter Vogt, president of the German Society of Plastic Surgeons, said such offers, frequently available online, did not give potential patients time to consider what they really wanted done or the opportunity to get to know their possible surgeon.
“Strongly discounted offers for aesthetic procedures such as breast enlargement and liposuction lead patients to decide for an aesthetic procedure that they might never have considered without that offer, and with that, not think about the risks,” said the Berlin-based surgeon in a statement.
They are also often put under pressure to make a quick decision by offers with a time limit, he said, leaving no time for a patient to check out a doctor’s credentials.
“The patient must carefully check if the person making the offer is qualified to conduct the requested procedure,” he said, recommending that anyone considering surgery discuss the options with the potential surgeon – an option closed to people who have been bought a voucher.
“Because a patient has practically decided blind, the necessary patient-doctor discussion is missing. The voucher patient is taking the second step before the first,” he said.
The purchase of a voucher commits patient and doctor to a procedure before they have talked about what is medically advisable or what the patient wants, he said. The pressure to have the procedure done is also particularly high as the voucher has been a present, he added, while the ethics of the surgeons making such offers should also be questioned.
Sure this not be in breaking news, ¥£*****……€,UFB

Duh!
Personally, I hate it that breasts are called “boobs”. It’s a derogatory term. I especially hate it when women refer to their own breasts with that word.
What’s an electronic device that mesmerizes people with it’s stupefying message? A BOOB tube.
Another word for an idiot or stupid person? A BOOB.
Sad that even women use this terminology to describe a part of the body which can sustain life.
"Oh YEAHHHH!"
Breaking, busting...what's the dif???
You may have the association backwards. Looking at boobs is about the only thing that can make men act stupider than watching the tube.
Don’t say titty... they might really get upset.
Reminds me of a Larry the cable guy bit...
I need a referral to a good plastic surgeon who specializes in the reduction of male organs. I have had many complaints of being too large. Any referral to a competent physician would be appreciated.
ok
how bout BOOBIES
lol
Perhaps a horse vet could help! ;-)
Since when was “ego” an organ?
I would recommend Elena Bobbitt. He can handle that job quickly and with sufficient publicity, if you want it...

I can give you the name of a good ophthalmologist.
I dunno, I think the Buy One Get One Free offers sound like a good deal.
