Are YOU kidding? That's not bad at all considering how many are done. Any mutilation to the body poses some risk... hell, even ear piercing.

I was just discussing this over dinner last night. Apparently there are THOUSANDS of un-qualified / un-licensed health care "professionals" practicing out there. Many more than people think.

Liposuction death sparks coroner's probeTheStar.com - GTA - Liposuction death sparks coroner's probe
September 24, 2007

The coroner's office is investigating a doctor and looking into circumstances surrounding the death of a Toronto woman following a cosmetic procedure at a private clinic.
Real estate agent Krista Stryland, who the coroner said was 32, underwent a liposuction operation at the Toronto Cosmetic Clinic in North York
She was rushed to North York General Hospital, where she died last Thursday, after her condition started deteriorating in the recovery room of the cosmetic clinic, said regional coroner James Edwards.
On her website, Stryland, a resident of the Davisville area for the past decade, professes a love for the neighbourhood she worked and lived in, her neighbours and the city. "I have lived in Toronto my entire life and I truly have a passion for this city," she wrote.
Stryland worked in interior design before becoming a successful real estate agent.
In liposuction, fat is vacuumed out of certain areas of the body, such as the hips, buttocks and abdomen.
The coroner's office will look at the "precise cause of death," through blood tests and tissue samples of the deceased, Edwards said.
"We consider the death sudden and unexpected," he said.
The training of the surgeon is also under scrutiny, he said. "We haven't been able to confirm the qualifications. But she wasn't a certified surgeon."
The coroner wouldn't identify the doctor.
Cost of liposuction procedures on the clinic's website is listed from $2,500. The clinic also offers financing through two medical procedures' financing companies.
The clinic claims to be the first in Canada to offer one of the latest techniques called Smartlipo, a laser-assisted liposuction, according to the website.
The death has renewed concerns about practitioners who perform surgery without being licensed cosmetic surgeons.
While plastic surgeons are required to adhere to strict regulations and undergo licensing, little can be done to stop family doctors or general practitioners from deeming themselves cosmetic surgeons and performing similar procedures under far less stringent guidelines.
Liposuction was introduced in North America in 1982. In 1991, in what is believed to be the first case of death arising from liposuction surgery, Toni Sullivan, a 44-year-old real estate broker and mother of two from Markham, died when a massive blood clot blocked the major arteries to her lungs.
Other possible complications include fat clots and infections.
