Failure to Investigate Cosmetic Surgeon Can Cost You Your Life

A recent death illustrates the importance of investigating your cosmetic surgeon, says Dr. Mark Scheinberg from the Center for Cosmetic Laser Gynecology. Lidvian Zelaya, 35, underwent a procedure for abdominal liposuction and buttocks injections at the Strax Rejuvenation Clinic in south Florida.

She was rushed to the hospital, but died only a few hours after the start of the procedure. Investigations of public records by ABC News reveal that Dr. Roger L. Gordon, Zelaya’s plastic surgeon at Strax, has had 20 lawsuits filed against him since 2004. He was placed on probation by the Maryland Board of Physicians for undisclosed reasons and he had his staff privileges terminated by the Florida Medical Center. The Sun Sentinal revealed that Gordon was disciplined by the state in connection with two deaths in 2004.

“If you’re choosing a plastic surgeon, you want to do your homework,” says Scheinberg. “You’re entrusting them with your body – and your life. You need a doctor you can have confidence in.”

Scheinberg has been board certified in obstetrics and gynecology since 1981 and has performed over 10,000 surgical procedures. Scheinberg has received 100s of hours of training with Professor Adam Ostrzenski, M.D. Ph.D., a pioneer in safe, effectivevaginal reconstruction and cosmetic vaginal surgery.

Zalaya’s cause of death is under investigation, but she was declared healthy enough for surgery by doctors at the Strax Clinic. “I think it’s an inherent conflict of interest if you are getting screened by the surgeon who wants to do the procedure,” said Spencer Aronfeld, a malpractice attorney retained by Zalaya’s husband, Osvaldo Vargas.

Vargas has been publicizing the case as a way of warning others to investigate their cosmetic surgeons. In particular, he is urging patients to get a second pre-operative examination by an independent doctor. He said that Zelaya chose the Strax Clinic because she got a good deal on the procedure.

“You don’t want to rush into this kind of decision or select the doctor who offers you the lowest cost,” notes Scheinberg. “You want someone who has a long record of success with the procedure you are getting. Complaints and disciplinary actions against doctors are part of the public record. Patients can and should look this information up.”

South Florida OB/GYN launches The Center for Cosmetic Laser Gynecology

Dr. Mark Scheinberg, M.D., is announcing the recent launch of The Center for Cosmetic Laser Gynecology.

The Center is devoted to empowering women and providing them with knowledge, choice, and alternatives through cosmetic gynecology. “As an OB/GYN, I’ve encountered many patients over the years that complained about the appearance or changes in the sensation and the function of their vagina and surrounding areas,” said Dr. Scheinberg.

Dr. Scheinberg has performed over 6,000 deliveries and over 10,000 gynecological surgical procedures. He has trained under and received certification in cosmetic vaginal surgery from the famed Dr. Matlock of “Dr. 90210,” and recognition has been given to him by the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of America (LVRIA). He received advanced training in Cosmetic Vaginal Reconstruction and Transformation by the internationally renowned Professor Adam Ostrzenski, M.D., PH.D.

For those patients with vaginal relaxation and urinary incontinence, Dr. Scheinberg can tighten the vaginal muscles and enhance the strength and control of the vagina throughLaser Vaginal Rejuvenation (LVR) and cosmetic vaginal reconstruction. These can reverse the effects of aging and childbirth and return normal.

Many women are unhappy with the look for their genitalia. Designer Laser Vaginoplasty(DLV) can repair, enhance, and beautify the genitalia. The most common DLV procedures are the Labioplasty/Labiaplasty (minora and majora), Hymenoplasty, Hoodoplasty, reduction of prepuce (excess skin over and lateral of the clitoris).

“I found that traditional gynecology did not give patients the aesthetics and consistent results they were looking for. Patients come into my office with a picture of Playboy and say they want to look like that. We can do that!” said Dr. Scheinberg.

In addition, The Center for Cosmetic Laser Gynecology is now offering Vaser Liposuctionand Brazilian Butt Lifts.
