Re: Untrained docs enlarging breasts in Switzerland

I read that title as "untrained dogs". That would have been an amazing read. As it is I'll be leaving this thread now.

Re: Untrained docs enlarging breasts in Switzerland

I am surprised and quite shocked to hear a lack of regulations in this area in Switzerland.

Re: Untrained docs enlarging breasts in Switzerland

Can the mods close a thread from the Local if the replies get out of hand? This may be the one that will ultimately put the mods to the test.

Re: Untrained docs enlarging breasts in Switzerland

Shocking I agree, but exactly the same happens in private clinics in the US and the UK, and probably in most parts of the world. If you are ever interested check the specialism and experience independently first. Any general surgeon can perform breast enlargement.

The thing is that I wouldn't expect it to happen in Switzerland. That is why I am so surprised. US, UK, France, Italy, Turkey, Spain, well yes.

It's actually standard in some medical degrees to be trained in breast augmentation (i.e. breast reconstruction following mastectomy).

Re: Untrained docs enlarging breasts in Switzerland

The title is a bit sensational - as it almost sounds as though non qualified docs (eg non qualified at all) perform breast enhancement. They all have to be qualified doctors and specialised in surgery to do so, but not necessarily be specialist plastic surgeons.

Sensational? The Local? No, I refuse to believe it!
