Have the procedure or treatment in a safe place

Mr Henley cautions, “Beauty salons or friends’ house parties are not appropriate places for cosmetic treatments to be carried out.”

Find out about the clinic or hospital and make sure that you are in good hands. Find more at Independant Healthcare Advisory Services.

Care Quality Commission

Reputable surgeons only operate in establishments that are registered with the Care Quality Commission (formally, hospitals were inspected by the Healthcare Commission)

The CQC exists to promote improvement in the quality of healthcare. They are the official body that regulates the registration of private clinics and hospitals providing cosmetic surgery.
