They should ensure that adequate insurance arrangements are in place and that they have access to appropriate aftercare back in the United Kingdom in the event of any complications.</p><p>NHS.UK publishes guidance for people thinking about travelling abroad for cosmetic surgery, as well as general safety advice and information about individual procedures.
