Default 18 year old dies from botched rhinoplasty!

I don't know if this is not allowed because it's not related to celebrities, but I just came across an article about a girl who died from a botched rhinoplasty. It's rather scary. The article doesn't say a lot about the procedure, but I wonder if the surgeons were really incompetent. I wonder what the hellll happened??!!

She was way too young for PS in the first place, and her nose looked fine. She was a lovely girl. I can't believe this, what a tragedy. I hope this is a lesson for not only women but young girls everywhere. Is it really worth it? I bet Mor Glisko would say no if she was here today.

Thats what scares me the most about going under the knife; the anaesthetic. The doctor cant predict if a person mightn't come out of it and they tell the patient that as well- you have to sign an agreement before any major surgery- there's always the chance you could die.

This is terrible. I wish people would realise that PS is just like any other surgery, and carries risks.

Having said that, the poor girl only went in to repair actual accident damage-I probably would have done the same in her place. Terrible waste.

Some doctors have private clinics, but they're supposed to be regulated and have easy access to a hospital.

It's likely that she would've died if she had had ANY surgery since it was a reaction to the anesthetic.

Surgery will always be surgery and it will always be risky. Why have it when it is completely unnecessary is beyond me. Self-esteem issues just don't seem like a good enough excuse for risking ones life.

it's extremely uncommon though. you probably have a higher risk of dying in a car crash or something. that said, they should make sure any surgical procedure is as safe as possible. usually there's a lot of testing involved before giving anyone anaesthesia to make sure they're healthy enough and also to rule out any allergies.

Not really, usually you just fill out a form. There's only a problem if you have a family history of malignant hyperthermia, heart conditions, etc.

^^^^
really? i had my breast reduction done in the states and they did a full battery of tests before, not just the form filling but also clotting tests, a chest x-ray, a shitload of blood tests, an EKG, and a ton more. and i was really young and healthy. i thought it was standard but i guess not. i think people should do their research and insist their doctors be really thorough.

Same here sputnik. Every time I’ve had surgery I had a pre-admission appointment first and they did all the tests you have mentioned. I was also required to have a mini-medical form completed by my family physician and spoke with the anesthesiologist who asked me further questions.

I would never agree to have surgery at a place where you only had to complete a form prior to surgery.

I don’t know if this is true but on a TV show they said that the doctors were overheard blaming each other for what happened.

99% of botched surgeries are amateur doctors, u wont hear of a Dr 90210 type letting this happen, this gives ps the bad name - instead of the doc.
ALL surgeries have a risk involved, due to the anaesthesia....

What a sad situation! Does anybody know what the Orthodox Jewish views on plastic surgery are? I thought of this because the article states that Orthodox Jews oppose autopsies- which I understand as it has to do with respecting the bodies of the deceased. But aren't tattoos also not allowed in the Orthodox Jewish culture? If so, I would think plastic surgery would go along the lines with having tattoos. I dunno- just curious!
