La Nación / Clínicas Expansion of Intensive Care Unit

Paraguay Association of Aesthetic Medicine says Aesthetic medicine has been included in the catalog of medical specialties of the Ministry of Health and has professional medical registration Since 2014. However, there are legal loopholes and everyone assumes that these procedures can be performed even in hair salons.

Dr. María Ana Rodas Ruiz, president of the association, said, As evidenced by these recently reported cases, people are required to undergo these procedures without prior investigation.. In addition to this, there is information spread on social networks.

“Promote medical treatment in places where it should not be done, such as spas, hair salons, private residences, or homes. It should not have been done this way, but it was done in an irregular and irresponsible way.. It must be done in clinics authorized by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Health,” explained Rodas Ruiz in an interview with La Nación/Nación Media.

He stressed that another important fact that people wishing to undergo cosmetic procedures must consider is that the products intended to be used by professionals must be registered with the National Health Surveillance Agency (Dinavisa). “There are many products that enter the country illegally and are used by professionals who are not doctors. Unfortunately, not all complications can be resolved and leave sequelae.s, which affects the developmental and psychological parts of those affected,” experts said.

He pointed out that cosmetic surgery must be performed by a doctor because it is a medical practice and professionals must be trained. “Doctors have specialties and must be in the medical profession. Additionally, they must be able to address complications that may arise in patients undergoing any treatment.“.

Professionals say that in many cases they are unable to fully address certain complications that patients experience. “Unfortunately, they leave consequences because in some cases we can’t fix it and the problem gets bigger over time. Because they used illegitimate products, such as liquid silicone, which is illegal in Paraguay,” he noted.

“Unfortunately, more and more young people are deciding to use these products, and in some cases they are minors, doing so without parental authorization,” he said. “In many cases, they are 15-year-old girls who want to look better but don’t want their parents to find out. “They go to unauthorized places and use illegal products.”he pointed out.

He added that they see patients every day who develop complications from inadequate treatment. “They suffered injuries to their faces and bodies, but the effects were still there. This greatly affects the psychological part of women, young men and men.. Any cosmetic surgery must be performed when a person is of legal age or, if they are a minor, accompanied by one of their parents,” he said.

He said the community is supporting a bill aimed at regulating the medical practice of aesthetic medicine. “We want this bill to be honored because we are concerned about the health and lives of Paraguayan citizens who seek treatment and sometimes go to the wrong place with inappropriate products in the hands of the wrong people.“,He said.

He recalled that aesthetic medicine is a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure that is performed on an outpatient basis, does not require hospitalization, and does not use anesthesia. “For the patient’s health, make a prior diagnosis and know which stage of aging the patient is in. Assess and replenish, then execute the program.” Rhodes explained.

Rodas talked about the “Doctor Barbie” incident that has caused many medical accidents in recent days, and pointed out that the preparedness of these people must be analyzed. “They are doctors but we should investigate where they were trained and what courses they attended to do this type of treatment. The first thing people ask for is training, whether they are ready and qualified to perform such procedures.”, he pointed out.

He said they sought legal follow-up on such cases of harm to patients and control of the venues where the procedures were performed. “We don’t want it to remain in King oppa, which can indeed be regularized. Aesthetic medicine needs to be regulated and not just feared when things like this happen.. We must prevent incidents like this from continuing and we must work in coordination with the Ministry of Health and regulatory authorities,” he concluded.
