BAAPS & ISAPS: Safe Surgery – How BAAPS and ISAPS can help

BAAPS is the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and ISAPS is the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. These are the leading association in the field of aesthetic or cosmetic surgery. Mr Nassab and Mr Cavale were representing the associations at the ACE conference. Mr Nassab is the current BAAPS Treasurer, Council Member, and ISAPS Social Media Committee Member. Mr Cavale is the ISAPS UK National Secretary. The talk was an opportunity to highlight to the audience the credentials people should be looking for in a plastic surgeon. We talked about how the organisations are trying to help educate the public about the dangers of having procedures performed by unqualified individuals. There were lots of questions from the audience about cosmetic tourism and people travelling for cosmetic surgery in Turkey. The aim is to educate the public about the dangers of having surgery by non-certified or GMC registered surgeons in unregulated or unlicensed facilities that are not CQC registered if in the UK.
