Aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery is a subgrouping of things that plastic surgeons can do. Plastic surgeons are highly trained, board certified surgical specialists who have not only completed a 5 year general surgical training program after at least 4 years of medical school, but they have additionally completed 2 or 3 years of plastic surgery training and perhaps additional training in some of the more highly specialized plastic surgical procedures. By the time a surgeon is beginning plastic surgical training, their level of surgical skill is already quite developed.
Surgical training (plastic surgical or otherwise) occurs in a sort of master-apprentice partnership with established surgical experts in accredited training programs. These programs are associated with centers of academic medicine. When patients are referred to be evaluated by these experts, they are evaluated by both the residents (surgeons in training) and the attendings (supervising surgeons). A joint decision is made on how to proceed, and surgery is performed by both of them. The surgical trainee is permitted to perform the procedure all, or in part, at the discretion of the supervising attending surgeon. The degree to which the resident is given hands-on experience is dependent on the situation. The attending surgeon is always the one who is ultimately responsible for the decisions and actions of the team as a whole.
Residents may, in fact, evaluate some patients and operate on them with minimal input from an attending. This happens when the attending surgeon has high confidence in the resident and chooses to let the resident experience a degree of independence. However, even in these situations, the resident is not involved with decisions regarding billing! Billing is another matter entirely.
Surgical billing is a complex matter because of all the people involved. In addition to the "professional fee" of the surgeon, there is a "facilities fee" which cannot be ignored. This involves all the facilities necessary to not only perform the procedure, but to ready and store the equipment, monitor and recover the patient after surgery, preoperatively evaluate and postoperatively follow-up, and to document the entire proceedings in a medical record and maintain the record properly. Surgery is not like a haircut where all you need is a scissor and a chair! Even if you could ignore the professional fee, there are still quite a few expensive components to the procedure, for any surgical procedure!
Sorry for the bad news, but remember: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Aesthetic surgery is a field with little margin for error. Patients choose to undergo cosmetic operations with the perception that there is nothing actually wrong with them other than something that looks different than they want it to. If there is an unexpected outcome, then it doesn't matter if you scream and cry or even sue. Thats what you look like.

ok, right this is the genuine reality... the militia (the Air tension besides) provide you unfastened plastic surgical operation. even nevertheless, i don't be attentive to if spouses/dependants qualify for this or whether that's only for energetic accountability. it rather is a few thing you will might desire to inspect. Any and all methods are obtainable yet there are some catches... a million) There might desire to be a medical expert obtainable to do your technique (rather, any militia medical expert who's approved to prepare plastic surgical operation HAS to do a undeniable sort of methods as a fashion to maintain his certification; as a result the militia promises them to individuals who choose/choose them... people who choose them have precedence over people who do not. different than that, there are not any barriers as to what sort of technique you have carried out). 2) you will possibly desire to get on a waiting checklist. final I heard at Lackland AFB, the waiting checklist for breast augmentation grew to become into over a 365 days long. 3) you're able to might desire to pay some thing... as an occasion, you will possibly desire to positioned up the money for the implants. it is like finding out to purchase factors however the exertions is unfastened. 4) you will possibly desire to have confidence that they are going to do a solid interest simply by fact there is not any such element as malpractice with militia surgeons... lower back, uncertain approximately dependants nevertheless. solid success!! :)

NO. And a "surgical student" is not qualified to do cosmetic surgery anyway.

I'm sure that they use dead bodies to do the practising on as it doesn't really damage them for life.
