People who are thinking of getting plastic surgery have been urged to take extreme care when selecting a cosmetic surgeon. In addition, emphasis has been given to carrying out sufficient research to seek out the UK’s reputable and experienced providers, such as http://www.mya.co.uk/ to minimise any risks and prevent the need for any extra spending on rectifying botched operations.
Last October, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) was put in charge of regulating the cosmetic surgery industry in England, a BBC article published earlier this year (February 10th). However, it is still important for prospective cosmetic surgery patients to take precautions when choosing who to go under the knife with.
In addition, National Accident Helpline shares the same sentiment and stresses the importance of selecting a reputable and experienced clinic with suitable aftercare.
Beth Powell, consumer director of National Accident Helpline, said: “People find themselves left with scarring, swelling, infections and nerve damage.
“The increase in the number of cosmetic surgery claims may be because people are more aware of their rights or there are more procedures leading to more accidents. Either way, it is tragic that people who undergo surgery to improve their appearance end up with other problems.”
