How can someone get pro-bono cosmetic plastic surgery procedures done?

Does anyone know of a way a person could be considered as a medical students practice subject, and maybe could act as their practice subject throughout their cosmetic plastic surgery training, in order to receive cosmetic plastic surgical procedures free of charge?





Or is there a way to be considered for pro-bono cosmetic plastic surgery?

do you really want to be a students guinea pig? you must really hate yourself to be desperate enough for that even to cross your mind. get a sugar daddy, thats the only way someones going to pay for your insecurities. but id suggest putting the money into some therapy sessions.

I bet you probably could. If cancer patients can recieve free experimental chemo, I bet you can get free experimental silicone.
Reply:Most likely this would only be done for %26quot;reconstructive surgery%26quot; which is where plastic surgery originated. It%26#039;s not the type of surgery that %26quot;enhances breasts%26quot; or %26quot;is a face lift%26quot;. It%26#039;s the kind of surgery that fixes someones face when they were in an accident or rebuilds areas that needed to be removed due to burns/amputations/birth deformities.





If your just out to get free %26#039;make-over%26#039; surgery you should probably get counseling first. If it%26#039;s reconstruction you need, ask your primary care physician for help.

No surgical procedures are permitted on patients by medical students anywhere. However a doctor taking an internship (which means that they are no longer a student, and are a licensed physician) would be allowed to practice their skill under the watchful eye of a specialist physician or hospital team, and then be able to perform medical procedures. Since a qualified surgeon is always present and either watches or assists, in most cases this procedure would still be a fee procedure. In essence since the specialist is there you would be paying for their expertise as usual.


Pro-bono plastic surgery has been performed by various doctors for reconstructive surgery, when the patient is in need and cannot afford the procedure, and of course for promotion of their skill, as is seen in Doctor 90210 where the video taping is aired for commercial purposes, so the company in this case (FOX) is actually paying for the procedure so that they can tape it and broadcast it.....and the patient gets the procedure free. Then of course there are other shows, such as Extreme Makeover where the same applies and the patient gets the procedure free.


Insurance regulations are rather strict on Doctors, and giving away services for free can result in many negative consequences ...if something was to go wrong, the patient can claim free might have resulted in substandard care....etc etc...so Doctors as a rule do not do this unless there are extenuating circumstances.


That being said, I do know that there is a website where ladies may get breast augmentation ... free...by joining the site and posting pictures etc...so that viewers can contribute if they like them, and the money contributed once it reaches the necessary amount to get the surgery is then sent to a qualified plastic surgeon to perform the augmentation, after which the patient posts %26#039;after pictures%26#039; etc....but in essence the procedure is %26#039;free%26#039; ... http://myfreeimplants.com/ as was featured on the Today Show.....
