WHO CHOOSES COSMETIC SURGERY AND WHY?

A 2022 Patient Claim Line survey discovered that one in three British participants in a survey of 2,000 people have had or considered having facial cosmetic procedures done.
Are People Aware of the Risks?
There are always risks involved in cosmetic surgery and these should be considered carefully before proceeding. In addition, recent years have seen an increase in the number of people travelling abroad to undertake cosmetic surgery.
