Recommendation 17

The Government should accelerate regulatory action. Procedures that are deemed high risk such as liquid BBLs and liquid breast augmentations, which have already been shown to pose a serious threat to patient safety, should be restricted to appropriately qualified medical professionals immediately. Given the lack of appetite among medical professionals to carry out these procedures, this will act as a de facto ban in all but the 46 most essential cases. A licensing system for ‘green’ and ‘amber’ non- surgical cosmetic procedures should be introduced within this Parliament. (Recommendation, Paragraph 70)
