Although this is an association for professionals, information leaflets are available by request on various aspects of plastic surgery. A C5 addressed envelope with two first class stamps is required for factsheets requested, and please state which is the particular area of interest. A list of members is also available.
Their website includes information for patients including a section on 'About Plastic Surgery?' and information on individual operations. The web-site also gives answers to frequently asked questions about plastic surgery, including the following:
- How much do consultations cost?
- Will I meet the surgeon who will be treating me at the consultation?
- How much do operations cost?
- Do surgeons specialise in particular treatments?
- Do I need to be referred by my General Practitioner? a) My GP is not interested in cosmetic surgery. b) I know my GP socially and do not want him to know about a cosmetic operation
- How do we know that a surgeon is fully trained in cosmetic surgery?
- How do we know if a surgeon who is not a member of BAAPS is fully trained?
- Can doctors who are not on the Specialist Register in Plastic Surgery call themselves cosmetic or plastic?
The website also has a 'Find a Surgeon' button which gives contact details of surgeons by region.
