Important safety tip (#10 in a series).

If you’re going to have cosmetic procedures done on your body, I recommend you seek out someone qualified to do so.

Generally, I think you’re best off with someone who has a degree from a medical school you’ve at least heard of (probably a member of the Association of American Medical Colleges) and ideally a board certification from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

I know, you’re thinking I’m just a tool of Big Plastic Surgery, and there’s nothing wrong with getting your cosmetic enhancements at a bargain price. Hey, it’s your body, you can make your own decisions.

But I think we can all agree that getting your cosmetic enhancements from “a self-described hip-hop/goth/pop and funk musician” or your beautician is a bad idea. I’d also suggest that, if you’re going in for cosmetic enhancements, and you see your doctor using the same kind of superglue you can buy off the shelf at Walgreens: run.

  1. Assuming you can buy superglue at Wallgreens assumes that there is someone up at the front counter to take your money.

    There have been a few times recently when I was driving from Houston to Austin (or back) when this has not been the case…

    That sounds like the subject of another rant I’m working on…
