Dr Dan Dhunna has commented on the Government’s latest decision to crack down on unsafe practises within the cosmetic industry on radio Shropshire.
He is a cosmetic surgeon in Shropshire, and said these changes are long overdue:
“I would say on average, I receive around 2 or 3 inquiries a week of patients that have gone to non-medical individuals and had botched treatments.
“Those problems could be droopy eyelids, an infection, lumps or something more abstract. Anybody under the age of 18 can get hold of a credit card and purchase these treatments. They can get away with injecting their best friend in their bedroom later that afternoon, it is that dangerous. We have been asking for these regulations for the last 15 or 20 years,” he said.
