Ex-Belo doctor says: I just 'retouched' buttock implant MANILA, Philippines – A cosmetic surgeon denied yesterday that he performed the initial buttock augmentation procedure that businesswoman Josefina Norcio claims nearly killed her.
Norcio has filed charges against the Belo Medical Group, alleging that the hydrogel implant caused an infection that landed her in the hospital since last May. The BMG identified Dr. Francis Decangchon, who used to work at the clinic, as the one who did the procedure.
“I only did the retouch. I did not do the initial implant procedure,” Decangchon said. He said Dr. Reynaldo Cayetano, also of BMG, did the buttock augmentation procedure on Norcio in 2002, and he only did a retouch in 2005.
Decangchon clarified that he is not in hiding, and said he recently visited Norcio at the St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City.
He said he resigned from the BMG in 2005, months after he did the retouch on Norcio, and put up his own clinic, the Aescultura Laser and Liposuction Center.
