Last week the General Medical Council issued new guidelines to end botched and unethical cosmetic procedures.
Patients must now be made aware of the risks involved and should not be rushed into surgery. Any practitioners must provide a contact should complications arise.
Also, promotional offers such as two-for-one deals and competitions to win free procedures have been banned, with doctors who break the rules facing being struck off.
Celebs such as Katie Price, Kylie Jenner and Charlotte Crosby have recently flaunted extreme plumped-up lips, encouraging fans to copy their look. But is there a need for these new guidelines?
We spoke to two celebrities to find out their views.
Michelle Heaton
‘Plastic surgery’s a personal choice’
Singer and mum-of-two, Michelle, 36, says: “These regulations are so important. I recently had fillers because my skin was losing elasticity.
“I researched the procedures and the doctor who performed the surgery. It meant I knew exactly what I was getting and what I wanted the results to be like.
“I do think it’s a matter of opinion if someone looks good, though. If you want to have plastic surgery then it’s a personal choice.
“I know Jordan recently admitted to having Botox, lip fillers and liposuction all in one go, but I think that sounds worse that it is.
“It’s not like she went in and got her head-to-toe done, she probably got it all done in an hour as she’s a busy full-time mum.
"Who knows if I’ll have more - never say never. I do like a little bit of Botox every now and again and I don’t see anything wrong with it.”
Abigail Clarke
‘My botched lips were excruciating’
Former TOWIE star Abigail Clark, 24, says: “I fully support the regulations and think surgery should be monitored. Last year I wanted filler and went to a clinic without doing any research.
“It wasn’t done well and I reacted badly to the fillers. I ended up with a huge lump in my lip and it started to split open.”
“I spent the next six months having it removed, which was excruciating. The whole ordeal was horrific and really frightened me.
“It hasn’t put me off surgery as I’ve had new lip fillers, but I would say to always do your research.”
