Hello Interloper!

Is my surgeon registered with the GMC?
The GMC (General Medical Council) is a body that regulates the medical industry in the UK, and works to protect the public and maintain the health and safety of those taking medical treatment or advice.
They operate a well-maintained register that every qualified doctor must register with, and they have a number of standards by which those registered must comply. The register is split into specialties, and you should check whether your surgeon is registered for the plastic and reconstructive surgery specialism, and also that they have undertaken a cosmetic surgery fellowship, as these are not part of standard NHS training.
