WEC to hear evidence on the drivers of cosmetic procedures
The Women and Equalities Committee (WEC) will hear from academics and medical professionals on the drivers of cosmetic procedures during an evidence session in Parliament on Wednesday, 25 June.
Meeting details
MPs on the cross-party committee chaired by Labour MP Sarah Owen will examine the societal and psychological drivers of cosmetic procedures (both surgical and non-surgical) and discuss the positive and negative mental health impacts of such procedures.
The evidence session is expected to touch upon the issues of social media, advertising, cosmetic tourism, body image and body dysmorphic disorder. This is the second evidence session of the Committee's inquiry into the health impacts of breast implants and other cosmetic procedures.
The first inquiry evidence session in May explored the PIP implant scandal, the rise in cosmetic procedures, liquid BBLs (Brazilian butt lifts) and liquid boob jobs.
