Arm-lift in Hungary

Cosmetic Surgery in Hungary
A guide to plastic surgery regulations in Hungary

The Ministry of Health, Social and Family Affairs has overall responsibility for the quality and distribution of healthcare in Hungary.

The Hungarian Medical Chamber is the politically independant overseer of the profession in Hungary. Membership of the Medical Chamber is compulsory for doctors and the chamber through its regional branches maintains a register of all qualified doctors.

Continuing professional development is overseen by the Continuing Education Council.

The Association of Hungarian Medical Societies (AHMS) combines the aims and interests of its member societies to represent the medical profession in Hungary. Plastic Surgeons in Hungary will belong to the Hungarian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (a member society of the AHMS).

Education

Initial medical qualification falls under the remit of the Ministry of Education which regulates the 4 medical schools. Training takes 6 years.

The Ministry of Health takes overall responsibility for postgraduate medical training and is aided in this by the advice of 'Institutes': which represent groupings of experts in relevant fields. Specialization such as in Plastic Surgery is obtained through a centrally regulated registrar system. Training in plastic surgery as a specialty (Plasztikai (égési) sebészet) requires a minimum period of 5 years.

Continuing professional development is mandatory and is based on the accrual of Continuous Medical Education (CME) points. Failure to obtain the required numbers of CME points from accredited training programmes will lead to a suspension of the right to practice.

Complaints

The Medical Chamber has extensive powers over physicans and may fine, suspend or remove the right to practice. Patient complaints may be addressed to the chamber. Patients also retain the right to follow civil action through the courts.

Arm Lift
Remove large areas of loose skin on the arm

An arm lift removes excess skin that may remain after large amounts of fat have been lost from the upper arm as the result of dieting and exercise or from cosmetic procedures. The results are a tighter firmer look to the skin that reflects the weight loss already gained.
