“A plastic surgeon is not God”
A plastic surgeon is not God, and man is not made of plastic. Nobody can guarantee possible complications after the operation," head of the "Kanaker-Zeytun" medical center, doctor Gagik Stamboltsyan told journalists at the 3rd international conference of the Armenian Association of Plastic Recuperation and Aesthetic Surgeons.
According to him, the patients often cause the insufficient results and complications because they don't follow the doctors' instructions, but he ruled out the doctor's guilt.
Stamboltsyan says Armenians primarily make their noses smaller and there are a thousand operations at "Kanaker-Zeytun" medical center a year alone. Nose operations are followed by operations for the frontal section of the stomach. The amount for an aesthetic operation ranges from 200,000 to 600,000 drams.
The three-day conference on "Undesired outcomes and complications in plastic surgery" has brought together 150 plastic surgeons from 20 countries. It is organized by the Armenian Association of Plastic Recuperation and Aesthetic Surgeons and Yerevan State Medical University under the auspices of the ESPRAS and IPRAS.
On June 30 at 17:00 a Public Day will be held at Yerevan State Medical University within the framework of the conference for those wishing to ask plastic surgeons questions.
