Last year, more than 45,000 patients in the UK had cosmetic surgery. While the vast majority will be happy with their results and the care they received, unfortunately some won’t be so lucky.

The Welsh Government have announced they won’t be reclaiming the £1.2 million cost to the NHS of replacing faulty PIP breast implants fitted by private cosmetic surgery companies.

So, the Government have made their long-awaited response to NHS Medical Director Sir Bruce Keogh’s recommendations for the cosmetic industry. And, unfortunately, it’s a bit of a damp squib.

There are certain procedures that will always remain popular and that don’t see signs of abating any time soon – surgeries such as breast augmentation, rhinoplasty (nose job) and tummy tucks.

A new medical trend is developing in New York – plastic surgeons who offer holistic plastic surgery. The very idea of it may seem a misnomer, and certainly the surgeries themselves are no different to others that aren’t labelled holistic, but what it’s actually referring to is the addition of peripheral therapeutic extras. Patients will […]
