tha vanity of cosmetic surgery is something ive toyed with a time or two (my left ear sticks out a bit from having the cartilige shattered from a kick to the side of my head when i was a kid.. ive contemplated having it fixed) but ultimately decided to just accept my "deformity" and not under go the risk & recovery of surgery.
had i gone the other route, however, and had it clipped like a doberman to put it back in its original place, i would most certainly have gone to an actual surgeon.. not some basement physician to save a couple bucks.
some folk, apparently, arent so bright...

where is the common sense to those who actually allowed this person to perform surgery without a lisence? and they can claim they werent aware of the lack of lisence till the cows come home.. doctors dont do surgery in their apartments or abandoned warehouses!!
seriously people?!?
have you considered or gone through with cosmetic surgery? would you EVER allow someone to cut/inject/etc. on you without thoroughly checking their qualifications first? is a few hundred dollars savings really worth the risk to yer own life??

I've always been contented with what God gave me. I believe I am God's masterpiece so I need not change or alter any part of me. I just have to keep this body healthy to honor the gift of life that God gave me but never but I ever attempt to go through the knife for the sake of beauty. Some people are just too vain. They concentrate too much on the outside appearance without realizing that God looks at the heart and not on the face. Beauty is vain. It will someday fade just a how grass withers so why bother about beauty that much when it will vanish whether we like it or not?

Unless I was severely disfigured I would not have plastic surgery no matter what, even with a doctor that had licenses and certificates and references and anything else that might impress most people.
I definitely would not be "bargain hunting" when it came to surgery not even for a not medically necessary procedure, because what starts out as not life-threatening can very easily become fatal.

Never buy a bargain parachute or brain surgery... 
Until people stop basing their lives around superficiality and greed you are going to get a lot more of this kind of thing. There have been cases here in the UK where girls go abroad for cheap implants and surgery and then, of course, it goes wrong and the taxpayer has to fund the repairs 
.
I guess when we allow ourselves to fall for the constant bombardment of what others say is acceptable (and even a lot of celebrities look the same because they all conform to what the industry tells them) this is what we can expect.
A friend of a friend has set herself up doing botox injections - she is a registered nurse - and tried to get me interested by saying I was getting wrinkles and she could do something about it. Now, we'd only just met so how freakin' rude do you have to be to say something like that to a stranger? I let rip with some choice words in a VERY loud voice about how I wasn't going to let some obnoxious stranger, who obviously didn't have any mirrors in her house, near me with a form of botulism and a needle. I didn't phrase it quite like that but Mylot would delete what I actually said.
I said this very loudly in a public place and everybody was quite shocked 'cause I'm normally a quiet person (no, really...) but she just made me so angry with her whole attitude and presumption.
