Cosmetic Surgery in the UK – Advertising RegulationsPublished on 21st May 2014
Would you really select cut price cosmetic surgery?
Many cosmetic clinics in Liverpool and cosmetic surgery clinics in the UK use aggressive marketing campaigns to attract potential patients, which include “but one get one free” on plastic surgery procedures or cosmetic non surgical procedures such as Botox. Another popular cosmetic surgery marketing tactic appears to be “money off vouchers” such as Groupon, with prompts from large cosmetic surgery commercial companies urging people to “book by tomorrow” to receive discounted treatment or operations.
They also use influenctal media images to target young women in particular for such cosmetic surgery procedures as breast enlargement (breast augmentation). Unfortunately young girls can be attracted to the “cheap deal” which appears to be offered, but may indeed result in costing far more in the end with revisional surgery if required.
The BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeons has urged a ban on cosmetic surgery marketing tactics for some years now, and currently advertising for cosmetic surgery in the UK is regulated by the Advertising Standards Agency.
“Over the last decade the BAAPS has worked tirelessly to educate the public on the many aggressive marketing gimmicks that not only trivialise surgery but endanger the patient,” said the organisation’s president Fazal Fatah.
