Regulators to Make Ruling After Liposuction Death

After three months of hearings, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario is on the verge of making changes in the way cosmetic surgery is done in the province after the death of a 32-year old female following a liposuction procedure.

At the centre of the decision is Dr. Behnaz Yazdanfar (seen in attached photograph) who performed the liposuction procedure on a once healthy real-estate agent and mother Krista Stryland. Following the procedure, her condition deteriorated quickly until she eventually succumbed to her wounds. She was later declared dead upon arrival at a hospital.

Among the issues to be addressed are

1) How much fat can actually safely be removed?
2) How much training does a service provider require to safely perform these kinds of procedures?
3) How should service providers charge for these procedures?
4) What is required to ensure that the patient can provide informed consent before the procedure is done?

Results from the hearing, recommendations, or any disciplinary action will not likely be published for several months to come.
