A Nip and Tuck With That Crown?
Californians concerned that their favorite plastic surgeon might be too busy to see them for a nip or a tuck may one day be able to call upon another professional to minister to their sagging faces and drooping eyelids: their dentist.
Tomorrow, a subcommittee of the California State Legislature is expected to approve Senate Bill 1336, which if enacted would make it legal for dentists with training in oral surgery to perform cosmetic surgery on the face.
Plastic surgeons are, of course, apoplectic.
"The whole thing is so audacious that I have trouble controlling myself," said Dr. Harvey A. Zarem, the president of the California Society of Plastic Surgeons (and occasional guest surgeon on "Extreme Makeover" on ABC). "That anyone would even pretend to want to do this is just, just, just, I mean, it's offensive, incredible. Did I say absolutely audacious?"
