The Truth About Donda West:

It is tragic that a brilliant former professor and chairman of the English Department of Chicago State University and mother of a successful musician should be making headlines for her death. What is even more tragic is the connection that the media has established between Dr. Donda West’s death and plastic surgery.

From what Dr. Andre Aboolian a plastic surgeon from Beverly Hills has to say regarding the death of Kanye West’s mother, the incident holds serious food for thought which every potential plastic surgery patient should consider. Dr. Aboolian was initially consulted by Dr. West for cosmetic surgery. However, he insisted upon medical clearance before he could proceed with her case as he had noticed a condition which could result in complications post surgery.

Such an incident simply goes on to highlight the necessity of following pre and post surgery precautions closely by a patient. While cosmetic surgery may not be a malign procedure, it is certainly not a cake-walk.

Whether it is a surgically non invasive injectable treatment or a major procedure for a tummy tuck, it is mandatory for a plastic surgeon to medically clear a patient and screen out any possibility of a psychological or health deficit.

Reality shows may project the quick-fix cosmetic surgery mind-set, but they are certainly not showing the real picture. There is a dark side to plastic surgery, but the shadow can be dismissed only through a proper consultation process and transparency on part of the patient as well as the surgeon.

Dr. Aboolian was right in advising Dr. West to get medical clearance before accepting her case for further treatment. The ethical treatment is the best treatment a patient can get.
