Don't be a boob when it comes to plastic surgery, the city Health Department is warning.

The department is demanding hospitals and doctors report illegal liposuction and other cosmetic surgeries if they spot cases of the rogue procedures.

City officials issued the warning after a recent spike in infections from such operations.
