More doctors opt for plump and peel procedures
A new trend in medicine has more and more doctors moving into the field of cosmetic medicine. Some simply add cosmetic procedures to their practice, while others abandon their original specialties altogether to erase wrinkles, plump lips and peel away the years.
There are concerns about this trend, from dermatologists who've been specifically trained in these areas, to the family doctors who are being lured to perform the lucrative procedures. MPR's Tom Crann consulted with Dr. Jon Hallberg about the implications for patient safety.
