<p>There is no GMC specialist register for cosmetic surgery. There is a specialist register for <a title="GMC Specialist Register Plastic Surgery" href="http://www.gmc-uk.org/SSG___Plastic_Surgery___20110211.pdf_38806495.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">plastic surgery</a> but no requirement that a practitioner performing cosmetic procedures has to be on the plastic surgery specialist register. There are reputable associations such as the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) but there are many practitioners performing cosmetic surgery who are not members of such associations.</p> <p>So, what constitutes a "responsible body" of cosmetic surgeons? Is it a body of those surgeons who might typically perform cosmetic surgery in UK, or is it a body of surgeons who are on the plastic surgery register? Is it a body of practitioners who meet the standards expected of members of BAAPS or is it a body with lower level skills and standards but which satisfy the requirements of a competitive industry?</p>
