Cosmetic surgery is a medical procedure, and the person performing it should be a fully qualified specialist. Taking a little time to check credentials is one of the most important things you can do for your safety.
Signs to reassure vs signs to pause
A quick guide to what should reassure you, and what should make you think twice.
| Reassuring | Think twice | |
|---|---|---|
| Surgeon | Named consultant, GMC-registered | Unnamed or non-specialist |
| Time to decide | Cooling-off period offered | Pressure to book today |
| Pricing | Clear, all-inclusive quote | Vague or "limited-time" deals |

Choosing a surgeon: FAQs
The questions to keep in mind while you research.
You can search the GMC register online to confirm a surgeon is registered as a specialist in plastic surgery. Membership of BAAPS or BAPRAS is a further reassuring sign.
Price should not be the deciding factor. Experience, safety and aftercare matter far more, and the cheapest quote may not include everything you need.
Absolutely. A reputable surgeon will never mind you seeking another opinion before deciding.
