Campaign to tackle 'botched' cosmetic procedures

A campaign to tackle "botched" cosmetic procedures is to be launched shortly by the government in England.

It follows a rise in people seeking surgeries such as a "Brazilian butt lift" abroad, which has led to deaths.

There have also been warnings about the rise in the use of self-injected dermal and lip fillers, with the risk of causing complications that then have to be treated on the NHS.

One expert welcomed the campaign, but said better regulation was also needed.

Men warned about cosmetic procedures

England's Department of Health told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme the campaign, scheduled to launch in the coming weeks, would look to ensure the public was fully informed about the importance of seeking professional advice regarding fillers, Botox and cosmetic surgery.
