BAPRAS condemns cosmetic surgery promotion in Love It magazine
BAPRAS condemns cosmetic surgery promotion in Love It magazine
Statement for immediate release- 7 October 2011
The British Association for Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) has condemned the cosmetic surgery promotions that have appeared in Love It magazine over the last two weeks as unethical and potentially damaging for readers.
Any advertising that induces surgery is against professional codes of conduct and is bad practice. If any member of BAPRAS is found to be involved in such activities, they will be the subject of investigation.
