As a plastic surgeon, let me say this.
First of all, only plastic surgeons are allowed to medically aesthetic surgery, and micropigmentation is plastic surgery.
In China, plastic surgeons must first of all have professional qualifications have "physician's qualification certificate" and "medical practitioner's certificate", these two documents are issued by the Chinese Ministry of Health, in addition, the provincial health departments may also stipulate that the plastic surgeon must have "medical aesthetic attending doctor qualification certificate" (the provincial provisions are not the same, some provinces may not have this provision). These three certificates are mandatory for plastic surgeons in Guangdong Province. (Foreign physicians coming to China for short-term medical practice must also obtain a "foreign physician short-term medical practice permit") For detailed laws and regulations, see: Medical cosmetic services management approach; to confirm whether the surgeon has the qualification to practice, you can query the website of the Ministry of Health: Physician Practice Registration Information Query.
How do I find a triple-licensed plastic surgeon? When you choose a triple-licensed plastic surgeon, that surgeon is certified by the national and provincial health departments. This means that the surgeon has graduated from an accredited medical school and completed at least five years of additional residency training, which is usually three years or its equivalent of three years of general surgery with two years of plastic surgery (many have completed six to eight years of residency training). In order to be certified by national and provincial health departments, surgeons must likewise practice plastic surgery for two years and pass a comprehensive written and oral examination.
According to the Guangdong Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission's most recent regulations in 2014, plastic surgeons with the Guangdong Medical Aesthetic Attending Physician Qualification Certificate "should have more than six years of clinical work experience in cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery, and other related specialties after the registration of practice (at the level of licensed physician)." Details: Notice on the issuance of the "Guangdong Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission on the medical cosmetic attending physician qualification and practice of the management approach (for trial implementation)"
How to choose a reliable plastic surgeon? - Wang Shihu's Answer
It basically takes 10 years to train a plastic surgeon, so what makes you think that you can go to a micropigmentation course for a few days of random training and master the knowledge that doctors generally take 10 years to master? You don't believe that anyone who makes it to medical school is a scumbag or an idiot, do you?
Secondly, only legitimate plastic surgery organizations are allowed to carry out cosmetic surgery.
What qualifications does a plastic surgery organization need? The first thing you need to know is the relevant laws and regulations. Plastic surgery hospitals must have a "medical institution license", the documents show the exhibition project should have "medical cosmetic science", "cosmetic surgery" and other medical beauty subjects. The Medical Practice License also reflects whether the institution is a real public institution or a contracted department - if the registered name of the institution is different from the name of the entire hospital, it is definitely a contracted department. So make sure you ask to see the institution's Medical Institution Practice License when you make a consultation, and check your local health department's website to verify it.
Having a Medical Institution Practice License also means that the plastic surgery institution complies with regulations and policies such as the Measures for the Administration of Medical Cosmetic Services issued by the Order of the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China*** and the State of China (No. 19) and its accompanying document, the Ministry of Health's Notice on the Issuance of Basic Standards for Cosmetic Medical Institutions and Medical Cosmetic Sections (Rooms) (for Trial Implementation) as well as the provisions of relevant documents of the various provinces and municipalities.
Obtaining a Medical Institution Practice License represents that the cosmetic structure has beds, section settings, personnel (physicians, health technicians, nurses), medical rooms, and equipment in compliance with the regulations, which are the basic standards for judging beauty hospitals, medical beauty clinics, medical beauty clinics, and medical beauty sections (rooms).
