    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of regulatory intervention and control of BBL procedures in the UK

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) Notwithstanding (a) the death of Ms Cambridge on 27.8.18; and (b) concerns expressed in relation to the risks involved in BBL procedures by a task force established under the auspices of the Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation (ASERF); and (c) a voluntary moratorium declared by the British Association of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeons (‘BAAPS’) The Inquest heard evidence that some plastic surgeons in the UK continue to carry out BBL procedures. Furthermore, that Elite Aftercare continue to facilitate other clients to travel to Turkey for the purpose of BBL procedures to be undertaken by surgeons such as ████████. I am concerned at the lack of intervention and control of BBL procedures by the regulatory authorities in the UK. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to obtain informed consent for BBL procedures

    Wider context from the report

    “(2) In order to make an informed decision as to the wisdom of undertaking effective cosmetic surgical procedures such as BBL, it is important that the person involved receive adequate information regarding the mortality and morbidity risks involved. In order to read and absorb such information it needs to be provided prior to any commitment being made or expense incurred. The Inquest into the death of Ms Cambridge heard that she was provided with a substantial quantity of material (some of which was written in Turkish) on the morning of the surgery and required to sign each page. The Inquest found she had insufficient time to digest this complex material, even if she was in a frame of mind to try, shortly before being taken to theatre. My concern is that informed consent is not obtained. ”
