[medinformatics] Movie to be made covering facial implant surgery

[Medical Informatics News]

The London Times has reported that three months prior to the groundbreaking facial implant, the woman signed a movie deal covering her ordeal. This new revelation is raising even more drama over the surgery. Supporters say the decision to profit from her procedure will help her with living expenses during her long recovery. Others claim the decision might have forced her into the surgery prematurely. "It is a real travesty," said Dr. Raffi Der Sarkissian, a plastic
surgeon and assistant clinical professor of the Boston University
School of Medicine, in an e-mail. "…I would not condone sale of photos,

advancement of surgery, but for money and self-aggrandizement."*ReadPermalink*|*Email this*|*Linking*Blogs*|*Comments
