There has been a significant increase in the number of cosmetic surgeries taking place in the UK in the last decade. However, there has also been an increase in ‘botched’ procedures. As a result, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) says four out of five of their members have seen a rise in patients coming to them for corrective surgery. This is why those looking for a Plastic Surgeon Liverpool need to make sure they choose one with the skills, experience, and qualifications to successfully perform surgery.
Qualifications and Experience
We aren’t sharing information on botched surgeries to scare people. It is simply to emphasise how important it is to find the right one for the right procedure. Potential patients should look at a surgeon’s qualifications first. It’s also important to check they complete continuous professional development, ensuring their skills remain up to date.
Checking registrations with professional bodies such as BAAPS and the British Medical Council is next. Registration with bodies focused on specific procedures, the British Society of Rhinoplasty Surgeons, for example, is also a plus.
Finally, there is experience. The more experience a surgeon has, the better. This can include performing surgeries as well as teaching in hospital or university settings.
