Anyone Want Cheesy Tits?

...Anyone? Anyone want cheesy tits?...

Consumer group CHOICE has exposed the seedy side of the cosmetic surgery industry and the tricks some doctors use to promote their services.
In a recently released study, three would-be patients tested thirty surgeons in Brisbane and Sydney.
CHOICE's Christopher Zinn said the main problem was that patients were often not adequately informed of the risks they faced.
According to Mr Zinn, one woman was offered a $1700 discount if she allowed 'before and after' photos to be published to the internet.
Another patient was told she would have a better chance of finding a boyfriend if she got breast implants.
Earlier this week, a code of conduct for cosmetic surgeons was rejected because it failed to provide enough protection for consumers.
Ten years ago, an inquiry recommended the industry adopt strict guidelines.
Sydney University Associate Professor Merrilyn Walton said the findings were not sufficiently followed.
'I think the government, until there is some catastrophe, is probably going to think, well let it sort itself out, but it won't,' Prof Walton said.
About 1000 cosmetic surgeons currently operate in Australia. Prof Walton said many of them are GPs with no surgical training.
'If you call yourself a surgeon, I immediately think you have surgical qualifications and training, and that is not the case,' she said.
Dr Daniel Fleming from the College of Cosmetic Surgery said there needed to be recognitions of the specialities of cosmetic surgery so patients know who they are dealing with.
CHOICE advised people considering plastic surgery to do proper research and educate themselves of the potential risks.
