Government turns to TikTokers to advise on cosmetic surgery abroad
Published: 8/14/2025

The UK government is collaborating with TikTok influencers to caution against the dangers of traveling abroad for cosmetic surgery. Concerns are rising about Britons opting for overseas treatments like hair implants and dental work due to lower costs and shorter wait times. Medical content creators will advise viewers to consult a UK doctor first, purchase travel insurance, and avoid package deals including procedures to ensure safety. This initiative is part of a broader campaign to discourage medical tourism and enhance regulations for cosmetic practitioners in England.
