Illegal cosmetic surgery while suspended

Ho Chi Minh City: Authorities discovered that Mr. Lee's facility in Thu Duc City was performing nose lifts and filler injections on customers even though it had been suspended for providing medical treatment without a license.

On November 18, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health Tang Chi Thuong said that the inspection team on November 15 recorded that the house on Nguyen Quy Canh Street, An Phu Ward, had a room equipped with a surgical and procedural bed. On the table and shelves in the room were new medical equipment, boxes of nasal cartilage, and used syringes, awaiting destruction. Mr. Truong Thanh Tinh (also known as Mr. Lee) and his wife Nguyen Thi Thuong were being examined and treated.

In the room, a person explained that he was a staff member who had been working since October 1st, with the task of welcoming guests, leading them to their rooms, and preparing equipment. Two guests were waiting to have a nose job surgery at a cost of 19 million VND, one of whom had transferred a deposit of 1 million VND on October 25th.

The delegation also noted that the cabinets and shelves sealed by the authorities on September 13 had been unsealed. These equipment were seized for processing. The authorities requested Mr. Lee and his wife to stop violations such as surgery, procedures, interventions involving injections, injections, pumping, etc.

According to Mr. Thuong, the surprise inspection of Mr. Lee was the result of the process of monitoring and supervising the implementation of the penalty decision and recording information on social networks by the authorities.

In September, the authorities made a surprise inspection of the facility and found that one person had just had a nose job with cosmetic thread, while other customers were being consulted. Mr. Lee confirmed to the inspection team that he had learned this technique in Korea, claiming that he had done it correctly, but could not present any documents related to the practice of cosmetic surgery, a medical practice certificate, and legal documents regarding the facility's operations. Afterwards, the Department Inspectorate invited the facility's representative twice to clarify the violation, but the facility's owner did not comply.

On October 3, Mr. Lee was fined more than 115 million VND by the Department of Health Inspectorate, and his operations were suspended until he had completed all legal documents and removed the advertisement. He paid the fine on October 16.

The Department continues to coordinate with the Ho Chi Minh City Police to promptly detect, prevent and handle unlicensed medical examination and treatment activities, practitioners without practice certificates...

The Department recommends that when people discover locations suspected of illegal activities, uncertified practitioners or false advertising, they should report via phone number 0989.40.1155 or the Online Health application for the Inspectorate to check and take action.
