Li Jiaying, a Latin dance instructor weighing nearly 250 pounds, died after receiving liposuction at the "Rebirth Hair Transplant Center" in Tsim Sha Tsui 7 years ago.

The doctor involved Guan Xiaozi left the operating room for about 50 minutes. The 7-person jury unanimously convicted her of manslaughter in the High Court the day before.


He Zhaoming, president of the Hong Kong Society of Plastic and Plastic Surgery, stated on a TV program in Hong Kong and Taiwan this morning (25th) that currently regulated by law, higher-risk treatments can only be performed in medical premises and performed by registered doctors or dentists. The rest have no specialties. Restrictions, the public should confirm whether doctors have received proper training.

He Zhaoming, president of the Hong Kong Society of Plastic Surgery and Plastic Surgery, said that after doctors graduate from the School of Medicine, they can administer plastic surgery and there are no specialties.

He pointed out that there are many procedures for each operation, not only the technical aspects, but also a comprehensive assessment, and the possibility of follow-up treatment when problems arise. The public should check whether the doctors have received proper training.

He Zhaoming pointed out that the current law only regulates that higher-risk treatments can only be carried out in medical places and must be performed by registered doctors or dentists, such as injection treatments, skin peeling by mechanical or chemical methods, and teeth bleaching, etc. Other treatments are not regulated, and the medical center supervisor is responsible for checking whether the doctor is suitable.

If there are adverse effects, the Medical Council will also review the training and experience of doctors after complaints from the public.

He also said that the current Hong Kong regulation of medical equipment is insufficient. For example, strong lasers are very lethal. He hopes that the government can regulate them.

The family member of the Latin dancer instructor who died of liposuction was waiting for 7 years, but she was fair at the end of the year, regardless of the lives of others. The Latin dancer instructor was responsible for liposuction. Refers to the doctor who left the Latin dance instructor after finishing the treatment and killed the director of the beauty salon: liposuction treatment has never hired an anesthesiologist
