Plastic surgery, whether aesthetic or reconstructive, should always be treated with the same seriousness as any other medical procedure. However, with the rise of social media and misinformation, many people today entrust their bodies to individuals who are not certified expert surgeons, exposing themselves to unnecessary risks.

In this article, Dr. JJ Ruiz, a plastic surgeon with over 15 years of experience and a member of leading national and international associations, explains why choosing an expert surgeon is the foundation of a safe and successful surgery.

What Defines an Expert Surgeon?

An expert plastic surgeon is someone who has completed:

• Medical degree
• Specialty in general surgery
• Subspecialty in plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery
• Certification from official organizations such as CMCPER (Mexican Council of Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgery)

Additionally, an expert plastic surgeon continuously updates their knowledge, participates in international congresses, and follows strict medical protocols.

How to Choose an Aesthetic Surgeon?

Here is a list of criteria to determine if you are dealing with a true expert surgeon:

✅ Verify their certification: Check accreditation on the CMCPER or ISAPS website.
✅ Look for complete training: The surgeon must have completed general surgery and then plastic surgery training endorsed by recognized universities.
✅ Review their experience: Check before-and-after photos, real testimonials, and documented cases.
✅ Ensure authorized medical facilities: Procedures should be performed in hospitals or clinics approved by COFEPRIS, not in makeshift offices.

Risks of Surgery with Non-Experts

Undergoing procedures with untrained personnel presents real dangers.

‍

💡 In Mexico, multiple cases have been reported of patients seeking treatment from “cosmetologists” or “technicians” without a license, often resulting in devastating outcomes.

Real Cases: Cheap Can Be Costly

“I looked for a cheap gluteal augmentation. They used biopolymers and I ended up with severe infections. Now I need reconstructive surgery.” — Anonymous patient, Mexico City
“A supposed doctor performed a liposuction without prior studies. I ended up in intensive care due to hemorrhages.” — Testimony from AMCPER
