Plastic surgery parties are becoming increasingly popular however cosmetic surgeons are concerned that they trivialise cosmetic surgery and believe that a party setting is not the ideal place for potential patients to contemplate life changing cosmetic procedures.

Transpire Cosmetic Surgery will be sponsoring some of these cosmetic surgery parties later this month. The “My Big Fat Plastic Surgery Prize Draw” party requires a £25 ticket and will allow people to party whilst also winning cosmetic surgery prizes. Some of these prizes include Botox injections, filler injections, teeth whitening procedures, semi-permanent make-up and pole dancing lessons.

Dalvi Humzah, a leading cosmetic surgeon, has slammed the event calling it ‘irresponsible’ and ‘flawed’.

“We’re seeing an alarming amount of cosmetic surgery providers using marketing gimmicks and supermarket ‘buy one get one free’ offers to promote serious medical procedures,” Mr Humzah explained.

“The offer of a cosmetic treatment as a prize draw is completely irresponsible. Equally, the thought process of this whole scenario is professionally flawed and unrealistic.

“Patients need to be medically suitable and fit and healthy to undergo both surgical and non-surgical procedures. By offering a cosmetic procedure as a prize draw, you can not guarantee the winner is going to be suitable. Therefore, you should not be offering a prize which might not be accessible to the winner.

“More importantly, a party atmosphere with alcohol is a completely unacceptable setting for life changing cosmetic procedures to be put in the spotlight. Any patients making irreversible decisions in these circumstances are putting themselves at risk with the possibility of facing long-term consequences.”
