Reality Television Show of Cosmetic Surgery is Creating Controversies
Plastic surgeons have condemned the latest series of reality television show Cosmetic Surgery Live as "highly unethical". Cult TV programmes showing operations and plastic surgery "makeovers" are fuelling an increasing demand for procedures, they warn.
Vulnerable patients, especially young women, are beginning to see plastic surgery as a normal step beyond the beauty salon. But expert surgeons, many of whom have been approached to take part in the TV programmes and refused, say cosmetic surgery is still invasive and risky and patients should not consider it lightly.
British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) president Adam Searle said: "I am appalled at the voyeuristic and pornographic extravaganza of the new series of Cosmetic Surgery Live, and condemn-it utterly.

"When it comes to health issues presented on television, public education and safety should come before entertainment."
