Dr. Martin Jugenburg Liposuction complication that resulted in a brain dead patient Toronto Ontario
Dr. Martin Jugenburg performed liposuction on my friend last month. He was rushed to St. Michael's hospital in Toronto where he is still in the ICU in a virtually brain dead state. Dr. Jugenburg is a board certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon. You can now find his smug face on the website of Dr. Frank Lista in Mississauga. Though my friend had his surgery done at another clinic, it sickens me to see this butcher working at a new clinic like nothing happened.
Because he is a plastic surgeon, I'm unable to get any sort of media attention. It's like he has a license to kill with no accountability at all. I'm beside myself. I've lost my friend and I don't know what to do. I can't get anyone to pay attention to this issue. They treat it like a normal complication just because he's a plastic surgeon. As far as I can tell, he's directly responsible for this and there is absolutely nothing that I can do about it.
I'm very frustrated. To see him continuing to work with no investigation is a hazard to the public at large. I think all plastic surgeons should be stopped from performing these operations with no formal training. That's right, I looked into it and I was shocked to learn that they receive no formal training in liposuction in school.
Their program does not train cosmetic procedures so they pick it up afterwards like any other doctor performing it. But when you talk to them they act like they're some sort of specialists in it. I wish I could do something about Dr. Jugenburg and I am disgusted at our medical system and our media for allowing this to go unnoticed.
How many more people are dying or in the hospital because of these animals? We'll never know because they treat it like any other medical procedure and won't give it any attention. It just gets swept under the rug quietly.
I hope somebody holds him to account for what he has done but I am not holding my breath. And Dr. Lista should be ashamed for hiring this quack. Dr. Lista is the Past President of the Canadian Society of Aesthetic (Cosmetic) Plastic Surgery. You'd he would know better...

Something strange about Dr. Martin Jugenburg

I have been searching for a plastic surgeon. At first this Dr. Martin Jugenburg sounded perfect. Then I started to read the reviews and he sounded almost too perfect. In fact the reviews appear to be generated by the same person. Same style of writting and same PERFECT compliments that I havent seen in other Plastic surgeon reviews. There is something very fishy about this guy. I can smell it! The negative reviews are usually hidden or at the bottom but they are all authentic in writing style. Poor reviews on him are horrible and all speak of a cold, rushed, uninvolved surgeon with an arrogant personality.
They reported botched reviews too but as I said they are well hidden and arent reflected in his 5 stars...and probably some have been removed that we dont know about! Also, who gets 400 reviews in short period of time?! Most long time great Dr.s dont even have that many reviews!? This Dr. Jugenburg sounds like a bomb ready to explode. Im not suprised to find this on Ripoffreports. Im sorry about your friend but know all frauds are eventually found out! A Dr. in my hometown just got 20 yrs in prison although he was found out 30+ years later after killing yet another patient..He will spend his senior years in a prison system!

I am very sorry to hear about your friend. However, I am an industry insider and am privy to information regarding surgical complications and subsequent law suits filed. What I can say is that complications can arise with even the most skilled surgeons. This is not a case of a family doctor with no experience, pretending to be a cosmetic surgeon like we saw in 2007. Dr. Jugenberg is a highly respected plastic surgeon. He has learned from with some of the pioneers in the industry in Toronto and New York. Further, he completed a 5 year residency in Plastics. He is also a plastics specialist certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. He current works with Dr. Frank Lista, an industry heavy weight and 10 year Chief of Plastic Surgery at the Trillium Health Center (The Mississauga Hospital). Frankly, Dr. Lista works with the best and does know better. I have recently met with Dr. Jugenburg with respect to a surgical procedure I am looking into for myself after the referral of a few industry juggernauts. He was very thorough, considerate and was very knowledgeable. I was extremely comfortable with him and am going forward with this major procedure. I can assure you that in my profession, I have seen the worst of the worst so one would think I would be paranoid given your friend's story. I am extremely comfortable with this doctor and have no qualms about him operating on me. Please correct me if I am wrong, however, from what I understand, Dr. Jugenberg's patient was never "brain dead", and is recovering from his rare complication. On a personal note, I don't think it is fair to make accusations without full information. I don't think he is smug at all. See his blog regarding this incident. http://askasurgeon.blogspot.com/2008/10/surgical-complications.html Does not sound like someone who takes his work lightly. I hope your friend is recovering well.
