London is the UK's largest centre for private cosmetic surgery, with many clinics across the city and Harley Street area. If you are considering breast implant surgery in London, the same principles apply as anywhere in the UK: verify the surgeon's credentials and the facility before you book.
Choosing a surgeon in London
- Confirm the surgeon is on the GMC Specialist Register for plastic surgery.
- Look for BAAPS or BAPRAS membership.
- Check the London hospital or clinic is registered with the relevant regulator (CQC in England; Healthcare Improvement Scotland, Healthcare Inspectorate Wales or the RQIA in the devolved nations).
