Major Medical Group Advises Against Gender Procedures On Children

Published by Jenni Sidey

The admonition to “first, do no harm” is an ancient cornerstone of medical ethics. With that in mind, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons broke ranks with other medical organizations on Tuesday, recommending that member physicians refrain from performing gender transition surgeries on anyone under age 19. The major milestone in Western society’s nascent recovery from gender-transition madness follows a landmark courtroom victory for a young woman whose breasts were removed at age 16, and the AMA has already signaled it will follow the ASPS’s lead.   The ASPS’s position statement uses pointed language that echoes the profound concerns that have long been raised by gender-transition skeptics:  “When uncertainty concerns not just the magnitude of benefit but the existence of benefit in and of itself, and when potential harms are irreversible and identity-defining, the principles of beneficence and non-maleficence require a more precautionary approach.”  Fox Varian was awarded $2 million in damages in a case against doctors who guided her to a double-mastectomy at age 16 (IMDb)  The group’s adoption of a new philosophy followed a review of …

Cosmetic Surgery Chains Use Misleading Ads to Market Risky Procedures, Experts Say

By Deanna Neff HealthDay ReporterFRIDAY, Jan. 2, 2026 (HealthDay News) — Glossy social media ads promising “lunchtime fat removal” and “freckle-sized” scars draw thousands of patients to cosmetic surgery chains. But a growing number of lawsuits and patient deaths suggest these claims often hide a much more dangerous reality. Unlike prescription drug commercials, which are strictly regulated, cosmetic surgery ads create a “buyer beware” market. The federal government does not require these companies to provide scientific proof before sharing their claims on Instagram, TikTok or television. Compelling before-and-after photos, influencer posts and sponsored videos and podcasts are peppering the landscape like never before. For Lenia Watson-Burton, a 37-year-old Navy administrator preparing to deploy, the promise of a quick recovery was essential. She chose a branded fat-removal procedure called AirSculpt, marketed as being “gentle on the body,” and had it done at Elite Body Sculpture in San Diego, California. Instead of returning to her routine in 48 hours, she died three days after the liposuction procedure caused a hole in her bowel and infection, reported NBC …
