Check out this cosmetic surgery guide to make sure you stay safe and well informed. We've teamed up with BAAPS (British Association of Aestetic Plastic Surgeons) to bring you the essential cosmetic surgery guidelines. 1. Make your own decisions:The real expert on your appearance and any concerns you may have is you.The only assistance you should need is to decide what, if any, surgery you might need, and you should ensure you get unbiased information regarding what might be technically possible and any associated risks and benefits. Do not let surgeon, nurse or other person talk you into doing anything for which you had little concern before the consultation. 2. Be informed:Anyone considering any cosmetic procedure should ensure they are fully informed and accept the limitations and risks of any procedure.The key things to remember are:
3. Be comfortable:Make sure you feel comfortable with the organization, surgeon and clinic you have chosen.4. Know your surgeon:Many practitioners purport to be experts, but many are not even surgeons!!Practitioners may boast impressive sounding qualifications, but these can have little meaning. Organisations associated with and preferably based in the Royal College of Surgeons will demonstrate acceptable standards of practice, i.e., those which you can reasonably expect of surgeons and doctors in general. Hospitals which have strong associations with NHS consultants and practices will also adhere to these standards and so offer some level of reassurance. The BAAPS can help you find a properly credentialed surgeon in your area visit their Find a Surgeon page before booking a consultation. And check with the governing bodies of any qualifications to ensure your surgeon really is qualified and registered: Better safe than sorry. Also check if the surgeon is listed on the UK Medical Register - if not, they aren't licensed to perform surgical procedures in this country and should be avoided and reported! Contact the General Medical Council if you come across a surgeon not registered who is offering surgical procedures! Make a complaint to the GMC. 5. Get the timing right:
Unless the circumstances are exceptional, avoid surgery if you have recently experienced major life events such as moving house, changing job, losing a loved one, the break-up of a relationship or the arrival of children. |
