The NYT reports on the dark side of plastic surgery:
The medical omissions are particularly frustrating in the case of Mona Alley (we discover her last name because the camera momentarily pans across one of her bowling trophies). According to interviews she gave to The Boca Raton News and U.S. News & World Report, Ms. Alley had liposuction at the Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Fort Lauderdale. At least two patients died soon after having surgery there; the clinic settled 18 lawsuits with patients who claimed their operations were botched, according to The South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The center could have provided the filmmakers with a perfect case study on how the facility, abetted by lax state oversight, developed such a controversial reputation. But the film never asks why the Florida Department of Health and its Board of Medicine were slow to discipline some of the doctors from the center. Not one state or federal health official or representative from a medical association appears in the film.
