“I Just Found Out My ‘Plastic Surgeon’ Wasn’t a Plastic Surgeon.”
TAMPA, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / Confusing titles. Look-alike “boards.” Office-based workarounds. Meegan Gruber, MD, PhD, a board-certified plastic surgeon and physician-scientist who specializes in Awake Surgery, launches an open patient-safety initiative to help consumers distinguish between marketing tactics and medical procedures before undergoing liposuction, tummy tucks, facelifts, and other procedures. Dr. Gruber holds ABPS certification in plastic surgery and dual doctoral degrees (MD-PhD) that combine surgical training with scientific research expertise rather than being a “dual board-certified” surgeon in multiple specialties.
MD-PhD ≠ ‘Dual Board-Certified’: What Each Actually Means
MD-PhD (dual doctoral degree): A combined medical and research doctorate that typically takes 7-8 years after college. The program develops physician-scientists who connect clinical work with research. After graduation, trainees enter residency and often fellowship.
Dual board-certified (two ABMS specialties): Means a doctor separately completed two ABMS-recognized residency pathways (for example, Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery and Plastic Surgery) and passed two separate board exams, often 8+ postgraduate years before the exams. ENT residencies are five years; independent plastic-surgery training after another surgical residency is usually three years.
Plastic surgery training itself: ABPS certification requires completion of accredited plastic-surgery training through either integrated six-year programs or independent plastic surgery after another surgical residency, plus rigorous exams. ABPS is the only plastic-surgery board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).
“Titles can sound impressive, but only ABMS-recognized board certification in plastic surgery that’s ABPS assures the training is truly plastic-surgery specific,” said Dr. Meegan Gruber, MD, PhD. “My path is ABPS board certification plus an MD-PhD. Patients should focus on verified credentials, procedure experience, accredited facilities, and safety-first protocols.”
The Term ‘Cosmetic Surgeon’ Isn’t an ABMS Specialty
Patients often encounter doctors calling themselves “board-certified cosmetic surgeons.” But cosmetic surgery is not an ABMS-recognized specialty. ABMS recognizes Plastic Surgery (via ABPS). Some organizations, such as the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, operate independently and are not under ABMS. In fact, California regulators have restricted how non-ABMS boards can advertise “board certified” to protect patients. Always ask which board is certifying, and confirm it is an ABMS member board.
How the Loopholes Happen and Why It’s Risky
Many states allow licensed physicians or even dentists with surgical training to legally perform office-based cosmetic procedures outside their ABMS specialty. This means you may encounter a physician board-certified in another specialty (e.g., family medicine, emergency medicine, ENT) offering body liposuction or a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), both of which are core ABPS plastic-surgery procedures.
The problem isn’t the license itself, but the mismatch between training and the procedure, combined with inconsistent office oversight and variable anesthesia practices. Peer-reviewed research and policy changes, such as Florida’s new mandates for ultrasound-guided gluteal fat grafting and tighter office-surgery rules, underscore how serious the risks are when high-risk procedures are done in high-volume office settings.
Real-world tragedies reinforce the concern. Preventable deaths from lidocaine toxicity in liposuction and inadequate emergency response in some clinics have made headlines, reminding patients to carefully vet credentials, facility accreditation, and anesthesia safety.
10-Step Process of Elimination to Avoid a Botched Job or Worse
Verify ABMS board certification in Plastic Surgery (ABPS). Use Certification Matters or ABPS resources – don’t stop at “board-certified.” Ask: “By which board?”
Confirm hospital privileges for the exact procedure, even if scheduled in an office. Hospitals credential by training and scope.
Insist on accredited facilities (AAAASF, AAAHC or The Joint Commission) and request proof.
Ask about anesthesia: Who administers it, what type (awake/local vs. sedation/general), and the emergency plan.
Volume and outcomes: Ask: “How many of this exact procedure have you done in the past year?”
Ultrasound guidance: Confirm it’s used when relevant (e.g., BBL). Florida requires it, and it’s becoming the standard.
Complications & revisions: Ask about complication rates and revision policies.
Know the team: Credentials of nurses, assistants, and the anesthesia provider.
Avoid price-only decisions: Cheap quotes may mean shortcuts on safety or follow-up.
Trust your instincts: If something feels rushed or evasive, walk away and seek a second opinion from an ABPS-certified surgeon.
Why Dr. Gruber is Sounding the Alarm
Dr. Gruber completed the ABPS pathway in plastic surgery and holds dual doctoral degrees as an MD-PhD physician-scientist. Her background combines research rigor with surgical expertise. She is nationally recognized for awake plastic surgery using local anesthesia without sedation when appropriate, but also performs traditional procedures under general anesthesia when it’s the safer option.
She operates exclusively in accredited facilities, maintains full transparency about risks, and follows evidence-based medication and safety protocols to ensure emergency preparedness.
“Patients deserve clarity,” Dr. Gruber emphasized. “Verify ABPS certification, verify accreditation, verify privileges – then choose the surgeon whose safety culture and outcomes align with your goals.”
Interested Patients: Start With a Safe, No-Pressure Consult
Gruber Plastic Surgery, located in Tampa, FL, is led by Dr. Meegan Gruber, Ph.D., board-certified plastic surgeon renowned for her pioneering work in awake plastic surgery. Dr. Gruber, also the star of “Awake Surgery,” which you can stream today on TLC GO, HBO MAX, Hulu, Discovery+, and other streaming platforms, integrates advanced techniques and cutting-edge technology to deliver safe, comfortable, and natural-looking results with minimized recovery time. Specializing in awake surgeries, the clinic offers a range of state-of-the-art procedures. Dr. Gruber is committed to innovation and education, ensuring precision and safety in every treatment, while enhancing patient confidence through individualized care and surgical expertise.
Strategic JV Expands ESGold Portfolio with Second Permitted Project Aimed at Cash Flow, Growth and Remediation in South America
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / ESGold Corp. (“ESGold” or the “Company“) (CSE:ESAU)(OTCQB:ESAUF)(FSE:Z7D) announced today that it has entered into a binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Planta Magdalena S.A.S. (“Planta”), a Colombian corporation, to form a joint venture for the development and reprocessing of fully permitted, gold- and silver-bearing tailings in the Department of Bolívar, Colombia.
This strategic move represents a significant step in ESGold’s plan to expand its tailings-to-cash-flow model beyond Québec, applying modern, environmentally responsible processing to legacy tailings in one of South America’s most prolific gold-producing regions. The Company aims to generate high-margin, scalable production while delivering environmental remediation benefits and positioning itself for further growth across the Americas.
Deal Highlights
Structure & Consideration: ESGold will contribute C$1.5 million for a 50% JV interest and will hold a first right of refusal to purchase the remaining 50% within 12 months at fair market value determined by independent third-party appraisal.
Permitting: Planta advises that it holds permits to commence tailings production. ESGold will conduct independent verification of all permits and licences as part of its due diligence prior to entering into a definitive agreement.
Strategic Rationale: The Bolívar JV is designed to replicate ESGold’s low-capex, high-margin tailings model developed at Montauban (Québec), while remediating legacy mine sites and improving environmental outcomes for local communities.
Fast-Track Workplan: Preliminary due-diligence fire-assay sampling of tailings (27 samples) has been completed. Concentrate tests on the assayed tailings are being finalized at Montauban and will be shipped to ACTLABS in Val-d’Or for analysis. On-site geological and metallurgical visits are being scheduled to finalize the proposed circuit and recovery parameters.
Path to Production: Subject to a definitive agreement, verification, and commissioning, the Company’s objective is to add a second high-margin operation alongside Montauban, with a target start-up in 2026.
“Bolívar has a long and storied history as one of Colombia’s most prolific gold-producing regions, with decades of artisanal and small-scale mining contributing significantly to the country’s overall output,” said Gordon Robb, CEO of ESGold. “The region still processes hundreds of thousands of tonnes of ore annually, yet much of it is handled using rudimentary mercury amalgamation methods that leave behind a substantial amount of gold and silver in the tailings. This creates an immense opportunity for ESGold to apply modern, environmentally responsible recovery technology that can significantly improve yields while remediating legacy mine sites. The early validation from our due-diligence sampling is highly encouraging, and it underscores the scalability of our tailings-to-cash-flow model as we aim to build a second high-margin operation in one of the most prolific gold-bearing districts in all South America.”
Initial Due-Diligence Sampling
As part of joint ESGold-Planta due diligence, 27 tailings samples were collected across the tailings sector and submitted to ACTLABS. Highlights (sample IDs as received) include:
SS806: 42.683 g/t Au
SS816: 19.284 g/t Au
SS817: 18.332 g/t Au
SS825: 10.787 g/t Au
In total, 8 of 27 samples assayed above 5 g/t Au, including several high-grade results; multiple samples also returned notable silver values exceeding 190 g/t Ag.
Cautionary Note: The samples referenced above are selective in nature, were collected for due-diligence screening, and may not be representative of the tailings as a whole. No mineral resource or reserve is being declared. Additional systematic sampling, QA/QC, and metallurgical test work are required to determine grade continuity, recoveries, and economic parameters. Results will be disclosed following Qualified Person (QP) review.
ESGold is finalizing bulk-sample concentrate tests to confirm recovery rates for the proposed mining circuit. Testing will be completed at the Company’s Montauban facilities with confirmed assays at ACTLABS in Québec on an expedited basis.
Why Bolívar, Colombia
The Department of Bolívar is recognized as one of Colombia’s most prolific gold-producing regions, with a mining tradition that spans centuries. Today, artisanal and small-scale miners in the region collectively process an estimated 300,000 tonnes of ore annually, producing approximately 128,000 ounces of gold. Despite this significant output, much of the material is processed using rudimentary mercury amalgamation methods, which typically recover less than half of the contained gold and silver.
This long-standing reliance on outdated technology leaves a substantial portion of precious metals unrecovered in the tailings. Modern, mercury-free processing techniques can materially improve recovery rates while eliminating the environmental harm caused by mercury. The combination of a large, continuous feed of tailings, a skilled local workforce, and the region’s established mining infrastructure creates a unique opportunity to launch a high-margin, environmentally responsible operation with near-term scalability potential.
By starting in Bolívar, ESGold positions itself to demonstrate the economic advantages of its tailings-to-cash flow model in one of South America’s most prolific gold-bearing districts, while delivering tangible environmental remediation benefits to local communities.
“The Bolívar opportunity perfectly fits our vision for ESGold’s growth,” said Paul Mastantuono, Chairman and COO. “This is a permitted project in one of South America’s most prolific gold districts, with the potential to quickly generate high-margin cash flow using our modern, environmentally responsible processing. The initial sample results are encouraging, and we’re eager to complete the next stages of technical and legal due diligence. Our team sees this as a launchpad to scale our proven model across multiple jurisdictions, delivering value for shareholders while making a measurable positive impact in the communities where we operate.”
Next Steps & Conditions
Definitive Agreement: Finalize binding terms with Planta Magdalena following the completion of legal, technical, and financial due diligence. This includes title and lien verification, litigation search, licensing and permitting review, and confirmation of compliance with Colombian mining and environmental regulations.
Technical Verification: Conduct QP-supervised site visits to the Bolívar project for systematic tailings sampling, full QA/QC protocols, metallurgical recovery testing, and circuit engineering design. The Company foresees this to occur in the beginning of September.
Bulk Concentrate Testing: Finalize ongoing bulk-sample concentrate tests from Planta Magdalena to confirm recovery rates for the proposed mining circuit. Testing will be completed at the Company’s Montauban facilities with confirmed assays at ACTLABS in Québec on an expedited basis.
Montauban Development: Continue construction and commissioning work at Montauban, where concentrate testing and process fine-tuning are progressing well. A detailed 3D geological model is nearing completion to refine high-priority drill targets, and the updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) will incorporate enhanced economics to reflect higher metal prices.
Implementation Planning: For the Bolívar JV, confirm and validate all operational frameworks, develop a localized community engagement plan, and finalize environmental management measures consistent with ESGold’s clean-processing standards.
Why This Matters to Shareholders
With Montauban fully permitted and under construction in Québec, the Bolívar opportunity marks a pivotal step toward building a scalable, self-funded, high-margin platform for precious metals production across the Americas. By securing permitted tailings projects in prolific mining districts, ESGold can generate predictable, repeatable cash flow that funds exploration and discovery without relying on continual equity dilution. This disciplined model pairs near-term production with the upside of exploration, creating a balance of stability and growth rarely seen in the sector. Coupled with our commitment to environmental remediation and community benefits, this strategy positions ESGold to compound value over time, transforming legacy mine waste into both shareholder returns and lasting positive impact across multiple jurisdictions.

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / enVVeno Medical Corporation (Nasdaq:NVNO) (“enVVeno” or the “Company”), a company setting new standards of care for the treatment of deep venous disease, today announced that it has received a not-approvable letter from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in response to its Premarket Approval (PMA) application for VenoValve®, a surgical replacement venous valve for treating severe deep chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
The letter indicates that the FDA completed its review of the VenoValve PMA application and determined that it is unable to approve the PMA for the VenoValve in its current form. In particular, the FDA indicated that the favorable revised Venous Clinical Severity Score (rVCSS) data generated by the study to show clinical improvement, together with the improvements in pain scores and venous specific quality of life indicators was not sufficient on its own to determine favorability of the benefit risk profile for the VenoValve. Without a specific hemodynamic measurement that correlates with patient improvement, the FDA raised concerns about bias and the possibility that clinical improvement occurred as a result of the patients being enrolled in a study.
The FDA also focused on safety concerns which were attributed to the VenoValve open surgical procedure, and that required re-hospitalizations. The Company would not expect to see similar safety events with a non-surgical replacement valve.
“We are obviously disappointed by the FDA’s decision. The results showed that a high percentage of the patients in the SAVVE study, who all previously failed standard of care treatments, showed significant clinical improvement after receiving the VenoValve. With the VenoValve being the only difference in their care, it is hard to not attribute the improvement to the VenoValve,” said Robert Berman, enVVeno Medical’s Chief Executive Officer. “We remain committed to the 2.5 to 3.5 million patients suffering from severe deep venous CVI in the U.S. and who have no effective treatment options and will continue to work with the FDA on new criteria to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of our devices.”
enVVeno Medical is reviewing the feedback from the FDA and is assessing all options, which may include a meeting to discuss requirements for a potential resubmission of the VenoValve or appeal of the decision along with appropriate next steps. The Company also expects to apply the key learnings from this FDA approval process as it advances enVVe, its non-surgical replacement venous valve for which it is preparing an IDE application.

The full-scale One-Pot™ reactor at the Candiac Operations has been upgraded with new proprietary agitator equipment
This new equipment installation will increase throughput capacity by approximately 50%
The increased capacity will result in reduced cost of production going forward
Nano One continues to enhance technological edge with continued development work
Five new patents for LFP, NMC, and LNMO cathodes added to the Company’s IP portfolio
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / Nano One® Materials Corp. (TSX:NANO)(OTCQB:NNOMF)(Frankfurt:LBMB) (“Nano One” or the “Company”), a process technology company specializing in lithium-ion battery cathode active materials (CAM), is pleased to report that it has successfully installed and commissioned a custom-designed and proprietary agitator in its commercial-sized 20,000 litre One-Pot reactor at its production facility in Candiac, Québec-further improving its cost performance, in addition to supporting production scale-up and continued product commercialization, as well as optimizing plant design for the Company’s future licensing business.
Image One-Pot™ Reactor With Proprietary Agitator
The newly installed, high-efficiency agitator has been engineered to enhance mixing dynamics, thermal transfer and reaction time and is estimated to increase the throughput capacity of the reactor by approximately 50%. It will also improve the consistency and quality of CAM output, while yielding reduced operating expenses (OPEX). The upgrade followed extensive piloting, data collection and modelling conducted on smaller 2,000-litre One-Pot pilot reactors, which were commissioned in October 2023.
“The successful commissioning of the new equipment marks an important milestone in the further optimization of the Candiac operations, which has been established as a One-Pot LFP demonstration production plant,” said Denis Geoffroy, Chief Commercialization Officer of Nano One. “The upgrade was achieved through the combined efforts of our engineering and production teams. With their decades of commercial experience, the teams have continued to focus on continuous improvement and cost competitiveness of the technology. This achievement underscores the scalability of the One-Pot process.”
The upgraded agitator and reactor design is full-scale and representative of the systems planned for future One-Pot enabled commercial-scale plants. This upgrade will support ongoing product validation and business development initiatives with key customers and commercial partners, while reinforcing the value proposition of Nano One’s One-Pot technology to prospective licensees. Many of these engagements have focused on a subset of customers across battery energy storage systems (BESS), which in the past eighteen months have seen robust global demand increases driven by accelerated growth in the AI data center, military, and grid optimization market segments.
The new equipment was sourced from a leading German manufacturer specializing in mixing technologies. Nano One continues to establish a robust equipment supply chain, which can be shielded from potential disruption and geopolitical risk-especially following China’s July 2025 announcement imposing export restrictions on key equipment and technologies related to LFP cathode manufacturing.
This project is supported by funding and expense reimbursements from NRC IRAP Clean Technology Program (formerly SDTC), Investissement Québec, Technoclimat, and US Department of Defense (DoD).
Nano One Adds Five New Patents To Its IP Portfolio Nano One is pleased to announce the allowance and/or issuance of five new patents in North America and Asia to its portfolio of intellectual property (IP), bringing its total now to fifty-two granted, one allowed and fifty-four pending in jurisdictions around the world. These patents strengthen Nano One’s independence from foreign controlled IP and enhance the Company’s technological edge in a continually evolving market.
