A woman has described feeling “suicidal” and “the most unwell I’d ever been” after undergoing plastic surgery in Turkey without mental health checks.
Nina — not her real name — has body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a condition that causes sufferers to become fixated on perceived flaws in their physical appearance.
In the UK, most surgeons will put patients through rigorous screening to assess mental health as well as physical health before taking deposits.
More mental health checks on getting your tits lifted than in having them sliced off. It’s possible that this is not the right way around.
If you are prepared to go under the knife in Turkey you have failed the mental health test.
“Although she cannot remember the full details of the sign-up process, notes from her GP were sought by the provider before the operation.”
So, what exactly is going on here? Sounds to me like the people in Turkey did some due diligence on her. Like, if they just didn’t care, they wouldn’t have asked for notes, right? Just get her over, fix her nose, make some dosh.
“Although Nina’s family did everything they could to dissuade her, she booked revision rhinoplasty and flew to Turkey alone. When she arrived, she went straight to the hospital for an evening consultation before the operation the following morning.”
So, knew she had a condition, treated by GPs, family trying to stop her. At what point are you just a colossal fucking moron?
“Aenone Harper-Machin, consultant plastic surgeon and a spokeswoman for the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, suggested that companies were using the appointments in the UK “to have the semblance of a reasonable consent and examination process”.
“I think it does give people a false sense of security,” she said, adding that she would “absolutely” support change to existing legislation.”
And there’s the money shot. There’s what this is really about. The British medical cartels wanting their jobs protected from foreign competition. Like US automakers telling the public that Chinese EVs are going to spy on them to get tariffs raised, but for fake tits. Can’t have people getting on an Easyjet flight to Ankara now, can we?
Net Zero will stop you using cars or planes, so getting to Turkey won’t be possible anyway.
Hang on, you could swim the channel and then walk – perhaps the surgeons are onto something by banning people having medical treatment abroad.
I wonder if they have thought out how they would do it?
Not sure if you’re incurious, ignorant, or just a liar.. but this penchant you have for being wrong about trans people and their surgeries is really boring. You’re fun on the stuff you know. Maybe stick to that?
Is trans a form of BDD?
It’s precisely that, David. But we don’t generally treat other forms of BDD (anorexia being the most common) by lopping off healthy body parts until the sufferer feels their body is now ‘correct’.
” but this penchant you have for being wrong about trans people and their surgeries is really boring.”
It is not. It is extremely accurate for the activist Rainbow crowd that continuously seem to make the News.
I think most of the commentariat here, might even include Steve, have friends/acqaintances that the Rainbow Crowd claims to represent.
Funny how those people generally feel about the Prideful Rainbow……
