Local media such as Shinbo reported today (4th) that the Chinese Medical Association has issued a ban on plastic surgery for patients infected with Corona 19, saying that it can cause serious side effects.
The Medical Cosmetology Branch of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (hereinafter referred to as the branch) recently sent out to the plastic surgery industry across the country, “Guidance on risk management and control of cosmetic and cosmetic surgery during the COVID-19 period,” stating that “no plastic surgery-related medical practices are permitted for patients infected with COVID-19 or those recovering from infection.” Don't do it either."
In addition, if you have been infected and turned negative within 4 weeks, you cannot perform plastic surgery under general anesthesia, and local trials and surgeries must be carefully performed after blood clotting, electrocardiogram, and heart function tests.
Bunhoe said that when infected with Corona 19, side effects such as pain and allergies may occur due to an overreaction of the body's immune system, and botulinum (Botox) and hyaluronic acid injections used for cosmetic surgery are to be administered after 4 weeks of corona cure.
Laser treatment for anti-aging was also performed after two weeks of curing COVID-19 after a doctor's diagnosis.
In this regard, Song Jianxing, deputy director of the Medical Cosmetology Branch, said, "There are cases in which people infected with COVID-19 or undergoing treatment suffer serious side effects and are hospitalized in the ICU after undergoing plastic surgery."
“It has not yet been specifically confirmed why side effects occur during the plastic surgery process for those infected with COVID-19.”
After the quarantine measures were eased last month, the number of corona19 infections in China has increased rapidly, and various cases of severe and severe symptoms are being shared on social media (SNS).
Among them, cases where the face has turned black, skin has peeled off, and edema does not go away after severe swelling are mentioned, and local media reported that an increasing number of people are doing cosmetic surgery to regain their pre-COVID-19 appearance.
