What the future might hold with Regulation/Self Regulation? Sally Taber, Director ISCAS, Trustee JCCP October 11th
Cosmetic Surgery framework – To include the RCS Certification Scheme to provide evidence of competencies Tn 20Th16, new guidance set sttHandards of good practice for doctors who offer cosmetic interventions. t The Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCS) also developed a certification scheme to provide evidence of competences in defined areas of cosmetic surgery. The RCS asked ISCAS to help it understand whether the new standards were having an impact in respect of complaints about cosmetic surgery.
Cosmetic Surgery Survey performed - Travel Abroad • The number one most cited reason for choosing to travel abroad for surgery was cost with 85% of respondents cited. The most popular destination was Turkey, claiming a quarter (25%) of cases; followed by Belgium (15%) and many others such as France, Cyprus, Tunisia and Colombia. Interestingly, when examined, many patients would simply have been ruled out in the UK, due to key medical history, for example smoking and weight (BMI), and possibly psychological issues as well. Surgeons ascribe this specific phenomenon, in part, as a possible result of aggressive marketing campaigns, particularly targeting vulnerable people through social media, as well as celebrities unashamedly pursuing the curviest of curves on their Instagram feeds, such as the likes of Kim Kardashian.
