Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Australian Medical Association (AMA) have called for greater regulation into cosmetic surgery following announcements of commissioned reviews into the industry.

“The recent reports of patients who’ve suffered due to poor quality practices in the cosmetic surgery industry have been disturbing to say the least—clearly greater regulation is needed to ensure patient safety and care,” said RACGP president Dr. Karen Price.
