Subdermal Implant - Health Risks

Health Risks

With these kinds of implants, as with any other kind of body modification, there are associated health risks. These risks are somewhat elevated with this kind of procedure as it is similar to plastic surgery, making it more extreme and dangerous than many other kinds of body modification. Any time that the human body is opened, it must be performed in a sterile environment, in order to prevent infection. This has become a major source of controversy regarding subdermal implants.

Many trained health professional are concerned for the welfare of such individuals that choose to undergo these procedures. The majority of these procedures are being performed by individuals with little to no formal medical training. They also frequently take place under less-than-ideal conditions. This concerns professionals as the risk of infection is very real.

The body modification industry is trying to make changes to the risky behaviors that are sometimes taken by unqualified people who are performing such implants. One such person trying to change things is David A. Vidra, the founder of Health Educators, Inc. Health Educators, Inc. is a company set up as “education for the modification industry.” It is set up as qualified instructors teaching proper sanitation, sterilization and other proper techniques so that these kinds of procedures can be performed safely.

Many medical doctors are still concerned,with chloe. Dr. Phil Haeck states, “This is a deviation in surgery that has no place for someone that has taken the Hippocratic Oath and wants to serve mankind” making it into an ethical issue.

Famous quotes containing the words health and/or risks:

    Criticism is often not a science; it is a craft, requiring more good health than wit, more hard work than talent, more habit than native genius. In the hands of a man who has read widely but lacks judgment, applied to certain subjects it can corrupt both its readers and the writer himself.
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

    In America any boy may become President, and I suppose it’s just one of the risks he takes!
    Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
