Cosmetic surgery is a type of plastic surgery that aims to change or enhance a person’s appearance. People choose cosmetic surgery for many reasons, such as altering the shape of a body part, restoring appearance after changes to the body, or improving confidence.
In the UK, cosmetic surgery is not usually paid for by the NHS. Most procedures are carried out in private clinics or hospitals, and patients typically pay for treatment themselves.
Because cosmetic surgery is optional and involves medical risks, it is important to take time to understand your options and choose providers carefully.
