Lawmakers In California Focus On Plastic Surgery Safety

The 58-year old mother of Kanye West, Donda West, died back in November after going through cosmetic surgery consisting of liposuction and breast implants.

She ran into complications and died because of the surgery. Her death has caught national interest as California lawmakers are introducing bills to improve the safety of these plastic surgery procedures.

The first bill being presented will require that outpatient facilities be inspected once every three years, with another bill will require a physical examination before going through the plastic surgery.

These types of surgeries are commonly done outside of a hospital setting in an outpatient clinic.

That is why these lawmakers are hoping that new rules and restrictions could help improve the safety of those going through these procedures.
