Plastic Surgeons Seek Real Pictures

Submitted by Meg Wilson on September 25, 2008 - 09:38.

Plastic surgeons - in the UK - are seeking a ban on altered photos in advertising. They want to stop the trend to digitally morped photos such as the one above. Such photos give women a very distorted view of the outcome they can expect from plastic surgery procedures.

According to The Independent;

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) said digitally enhanced pictures of bikini-clad women in ecstatic poses should be banned in advertisements.

Promoting "lunch-time face-lifts," which could not be carried out in the time, and financial discounts ... to reward clients who signed up quickly should also be outlawed, the association said.

Update November 1st: New rules came into effect in Australia yesterday. Now cosmetic surgeons risk fines or professional review if they use fake "before and after" photographs in their advertising. (Source: The Age)
