When you think of plastic surgery you probably think about people getting procedures done to improve their appearance. Maybe some augmentations, nose jobs, facial lifts, etc. In reality, plastic surgery comes in many forms and is not simply there just to improve a person’s look. Yes, there are many plastic surgeries that are elective, but there are many others that are deemed medically necessary to restore a person’s functionality.
Plastic surgery has gotten a bad reputation in many places. That is certainly the case in many places around Florida. Today, we want to talk about some of the dangers of plastic surgery. Specifically, we want to focus on an assembly line style clinic.

A USA Today story recently highlighted a scary situation at a Florida plastic surgery facility, one that they say doctors operated on as many as eight patients a day. The facility, and one nearby, are overseen by one person – Doctor Ismael Labrador. These two places have been responsible for 1 of every five plastic surgery deaths in the state.
They have lost eight people over the last few years. While we all know that all surgeries carry risks, investigators claim that these patients died due to avoidable causes.
The doctor in charge of these clinics once saw his license suspended for allowing unlicensed workers to perform cosmetic procedures at his facilities. Investigations have revealed that Dr. Labrador hires doctors who are not board-certified in plastic surgery. They are paid on commission – the more procedures they do, the more they make.
To top it all off, the law firm that represents Dr. Labrador’s clinics is owned by his wife.
