CTV.ca | Woman's death after liposuction raises concerns

A woman died at the toronto cosmetic clinic undergoing a liposuction. This may not have anything to do with the clinic or Dr. Tin...but its a red flag for me. IMO, i wouldnt get it done there.

I haven't seen posts about toronto cosmetic clinic in a while other than in the past week, ppl have been talking about consults there and such, so i think they should know about this.

fun fact, type in: liposuction death toronto

First sponsored link=TCC....ironic isnt it.

YIkes;

When I browsed the Dr. Tin's site and read thearticles there regarding Band surgery... it quoted " Dr. Tin does 3 -4 LB per month in his surgical practice."

WHAT??? I think I want my surgeon to have 1000's under his belt WITH some good stats to back him up...

From what I've read here and on other boards there are only TWO places to consider for lap band surg in Toronto...

Now in Michigan, I would whole-heartedly recommend BARIX Weight Loss CLINICs... my best friend had her W/L surg. there (OHIP paid) and they were fabulous! Excellent after care and follow up...

Her Surgeon even calls her personally every couple months. (she had her surg. in Feb07)...

just my 2 cents

Expertise of the surgeon is KEY to your success with the band.

Follow up care is critical, and I doubt that someone who only does 3 or 4 a month would have the kind of support that is offered at the TLBC or SWLC.

Thanks for that! I am so glad I cancelled now.... I just did not like the fact that no one had been to him and I had also read the fact that he only did 2-3 a month. I am so excited to meet Dr. Mumford tomorrow at the SWLC in Mississauga!

That is so sad . She is only a gp.I feel for her family.
