Cosmetic Surgeons Sent to Court Over Injuries, Counterfeit Medicines and Unlicensed Operations

A testimonial for a Phnom Penh cosmetic surgery raves that Chinese doctors gave her a “foreign nose,” and when she wanted her eyelids cut back, they gave her the option instead to inject thigh fat into her eye sockets.

“I don’t trust Cambodian doctors, frankly speaking, because with Cambodian doctors … just show them money for a nose surgery and then in the evening you have the surgery,” the woman says in a video posted online by Romdoul Medical Cosmetology Center. In the center’s videos, backed by upbeat synthesizer music, surgeons perform breast augmentation, while other ads offer chin implants.

According to a statement issued by the Counter-Counterfeiting Committee on Thursday, multiple patients have suffered injuries at the surgery.

Authorities from multiple agencies cracked down on the business earlier this month, shutting down the operations and sending four Chinese doctors to court, the statement said.
