How safe is plastic surgery in the UK outside of a hospital setting? Investigation in process...BD
Clinics in the UK offering cosmetic surgery have been accused of being dishonest to potential clients and putting sales before safety.
Researchers working as undercover investigators have revealed that some clinics in attempts to persuade women to choose expensive and risky operations use unqualified practitioners for the procedures. Of the 19 none of them was classed as "excellent" and just 5 were considered "good".
The researchers working for the consumer magazine Which? found that in some UK clinics, poorly trained sales assistants made false claims regarding operations, such as describing invasive surgery as 'scarless' or a 'minor procedure' and insisting that breast implants could last for ever and that there was proof that those who had plastic surgery enjoyed a "much higher quality of life".
