As graduation season approaches, more and more college students enter plastic surgery hospitals, hoping to take a “reassurance” for the interview by improving the “appearance value”. Recently, in order to cope with more and more college students’ plastic surgery boom, medical plastic surgery in a hospital in Tianjin opened a “college students’ employment plastic surgery special session”, which aroused widespread concern. Under the background of “hot appearance”, what is the current situation of the hot plastic industry? What risks do you need to be vigilant about? The reporter investigated this.
Fake beauty injection is shocking
According to the report on the development prospect forecast and investment strategic planning analysis of china’s internet + medical beauty industry released by the prospective industry research institute, in recent years, the number of plastic surgery in china has continued to grow rapidly. In 2016, China’s cosmetic surgery population has reached 8.5 million people, and this demand has not been fully released, there is still a lot of room for growth.
According to some hospitals offering plastic surgery specialist, every summer vacation comes, the number of students coming to consult and see a doctor is 3 to 5 times as usual, and the amount of plastic surgery for students increases by more than 200%. Liu Xiaofei, director of medical plastic surgery in Tianjin Yuanhe hospital, introduced that at present, among the plastic surgery boom of the campus family, micro plastic surgery is the most popular, because compared with surgical beauty, micro plastic surgery is small or even non-invasive, especially favored by student groups, and has become a popular way for students to shape good-looking. Behind the popularity, it is inevitable that there will be huge profits. Driven by huge profits, the plastic industry has formed a chaotic industrial chain from enrollment, training, marketing, service to drug sales.
Recently, the anti-counterfeiting corps of Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau and the economic investigation detachment of Chongqing Yubei district public security bureau jointly investigated and dealt with several medical and beauty “black dens” with the food and drug law enforcement supervision and administration departments of Chongqing and Yubei district “, A batch of cosmetic drugs such as Botox (18 boxes) and hyaluronic acid (91 boxes) imported without national approval were seized on the spot, 6 sales dens were destroyed, and 4 suspects were arrested.
The police investigation found that the price of four suspects to buy a meat toxin was 500 yuan, and the resale to customers was as high as 1500 yuan to 2800 yuan, and they were responsible for injecting meat toxin, the staff of hyaluronic acid Commission 500 yuan per piece. None of the seized beauty shops have licenses such as “medical and health institution practice license”, “medical device operation license” and “drug operation license”, and the staff responsible for injection also have no “doctor practice certificate”. It’s just an ordinary worker in a beauty salon. At present, two brands of Botox are allowed to be used in China. If the suspect thinks the profit is too low, he buys Korean Botox for consumers to use through the Internet. The profit of each piece is about 1,000 yuan, some even exceed 2,000 yuan.
Some media have conducted statistics and obtained 99 criminal judgment documents involving “plastic surgery” and “counterfeit drugs” through searching on the Chinese referee documents network, however, the 99 criminal judgment documents involved 158 defendants. Except for 3 illegal medical practice cases, the rest were cases of producing or selling counterfeit drugs. There are at least 83 kinds of counterfeit drugs mentioned in these judgments, which are sold all over the country, and most of them are microplastic injection injections, including Botox, hyaluronic acid, fat dissolving needles and whitening needles, etc, both the brands and categories involved are very complicated.
The reporter contacted a senior consultant of a plastic surgery hospital and told the reporter that plastic surgery studios on the market claimed that the medicine was obtained from formal channels, which was impossible, take the most popular European hyaluronic acid injection “Juvederm” as an example, there are approvals in hospitals, which are divided into exquisite and elegant, and the price is 12800 yuan to 14600 yuan per piece. Many studios are divided into No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, etc. “In 2016 alone, some places in China investigated and dealt with about 80000 tons of injections fake from European Juvederm companies.”
Beauty doctor qualification is worrying
In addition to the unknown origin of the drug, the qualifications of cosmetic doctors are also uneven. According to the senior consultant mentioned above, doctors in general micro plastic surgery studios either invite the Dean from South Korea or contact the on-the-job doctors from plastic surgery hospitals to take private jobs, there is also a bolder way to go directly to the quick-completion class of micro-integration training institutions and come back to work in person.
When asked about the situation of the on-the-job doctor taking private jobs, the senior consultant told the reporter that the hospital was banned explicitly and was definitely removed once found. However, she also said that there must be doctors doing it secretly, because driven by interests, taking private jobs outside may earn more than the hospital’s income.
A beautiful woman surnamed Sun Internet celebrity told the reporter that she was born in 1992, and almost all her face was “moved”. “There is no shame. How many people don’t move their faces now? Face Synthesis, eye synthesis, nose synthesis, plus semi-permanent, lip enhancement, this set of imported cars is gone. “she told reporters that in order to cater to cosmetic surgery, there was even a plastic installment payment business, it meets the needs of some girls who are short of funds.
Last year, this beautiful woman attended a one-week crash training class in a micro-training institution. “The charge is 10,002, and almost all the girls who go there are girls with zero basis and no medical knowledge. After learning the foundation, do practical exercises. First, train the position of the needle on the model’s head and tie normal saline with each other between real people. Generally, you will choose temples, nasolabial grooves, forehead, chin, try injection in multiple parts such as nose. A week later, a Korean plastic qualification certificate will be issued.” She introduced.
It is understood that to become a medical and cosmetic attending doctor in a regular hospital, you need to have strict application permission conditions. For example, those responsible for implementing cosmetic surgery projects should have more than 6 years of clinical work experience in cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery and other related majors. However, for many injection workers in micro-integrated studios on the market, such hard conditions are usually difficult to meet.
“Some plastic institutions have certain concealment, which makes the health administrative department unable to implement law enforcement without omission. Some of these plastic institutions have not passed the qualification examination and approval, and main knife doctors do not have the corresponding qualifications. Moreover, most of them have exaggerated or even false propaganda problems. The origin of the drugs used is unknown, and the quality and safety are worrying.” Liu xuanlin, executive director of China Health Law Society and associate professor of the Department of Health Law of Capital Medical University, said that the existence of these hidden dangers made the plastic surgery parties often “happy” in advance and “sad and angry” afterwards “.
Liu xuanlin told reporters that whether it is choosing a job or a mate, people will always look at their temperament and face value intentionally or unintentionally. But in clinical medicine, not everyone is suitable for plastic surgery. Generally speaking, patients with mental diseases, scar constitution, patients with severe organ diseases, patients with infectious diseases and allergic constitution are not suitable for plastic surgery. Moreover, even if the plastic surgery is successful, reexamination and nursing should be carried out frequently. It is impossible to know all the complications or adverse reactions that will occur in the future clinically, so there will be a lot of worries. “If there is no professional beauty doctor to guide the treatment, it is inevitable that there will be no potential safety hazard. The cosmetic must choose a formal beauty institution and be cosmetic by a professional doctor.”
Industry Management needs to be strengthened urgently
Zhu Xiaolei, director of Beijing Xingquan Law Firm, introduced that China’s “medical beauty service management measures” clearly stipulates that the establishment of plastic surgery institutions or plastic surgery departments must meet certain qualification conditions, and the chief doctor of plastic surgery, nursing staff must also have the corresponding practicing qualifications. Plastic surgery institutions and personnel must abide by relevant rules and be supervised by relevant departments during their practicing. He suggested that when consumers choose plastic institutions, they should first check whether the main body of the plastic institutions is legal, whether the corresponding personnel have qualifications, and distinguish whether the institution is a formal institution, to ensure that their rights and interests are guaranteed at the source. He reminded consumers to pay attention to several problems before plastic surgery: First of all, they should know “what they want to do, whether they are suitable for doing it, and where to do it”. Before seeking medical treatment, they should read more, ask more, do more homework and do not get cheaper; When choosing foreign plastic surgery technology, you should choose branches of foreign plastic surgery hospitals and medical institutions with credit level with corresponding civil subject qualification in China, reduce the incidence of medical accidents.
The relevant administrative departments of the state have paid attention to the problems such as the uneven quality of plastic institutions and the chaos of Black intermediaries. However, in the view of Xing Zhigang, a lawyer of Beijing Zhongyong law firm, at present, the management standard for plastic surgery industry in our country is only the “administrative measures for medical beauty services” formulated by the health administrative department of the State Council. There is still a lack of legal protection at a higher level, and the punishment by the regulatory authorities is still insufficient. Health administrative departments should organize experts and scholars to clearly define various medical cosmetology projects as soon as possible, and issue detailed manuals of medical cosmetology projects, so that non-medical professional law enforcement personnel can quickly and accurately judge punishment when enforcing the law. This manual should be updated regularly to adapt to the new medical beauty projects that are increasing year by year.
“Science popularization education of medical cosmetology should be strengthened, and health authorities should be advised to join hands with medical cosmetology professional societies, medical institutions, specialists and media to strengthen science popularization education of medical cosmetology, guide those who seek beauty to make the right choice.” At the national two sessions this year, Xiao Shao, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, specially submitted a proposal on strengthening the management of the medical beauty industry. Xiao Ran is the director of the Research Center of Plastic Surgery Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. She pointed out that the healthy growth of medical beauty market cannot be separated from the guarantee of regulatory mechanism, at present, the administrative units involved in the medical cosmetology industry in our country include health supervision departments, industrial and commercial departments, supervise and management on food and drug departments and public security departments. On the one hand, it is necessary to strictly define the medical cosmetology behavior, on the other hand, the responsibilities of relevant departments should be further clarified and refined.
For illegal medical beauty sites, illegal medical practitioners and unqualified medical beauty products, Xing Zhigang suggested that multiple departments should jointly carry out surprise inspections and special strikes nationwide, to form a certain shock to criminals, to curb the growth trend of illegal medical cosmetology, and to severely crack down on illegal doctors who use fake drugs and producers and distributors of fake drugs, to purify the medical cosmetology market.
Zhu Xiaolei also believes that the management and supervision of training courses related to medical cosmetology should be strengthened, the qualifications of the organizers, teachers and trainees of the training courses should be examined, and the operators of illegal medical cosmetology should be reduced from the source; organizers who hold informal training courses and provide convenience for illegal medical practitioners should be exposed and severely punished.
