Download or read book The Regulation of Cosmetic Procedures written by Melanie Latham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the legal, ethical and regulatory debates surrounding the rise of the cosmetic procedures industry. In the past, cosmetic procedures were often seen as limited to a small number of wealthy older women. Today, such procedures have gone mainstream, partly facilitated by the rise of ‘non-invasive’ techniques, such as the use of Botox and Dermal Fillers. While still a business dominated by the female consumer, there is also an increasing number of males undertaking cosmetic procedures as social expectations around appearance and ageing are challenged. At the same time, the rapid expansion of this business and the incoherent, diverse approach to its regulation have given rise to concern. It has been seen as a ‘Wild West’. If cosmetic procedures go wrong, such procedures give rise to real risks of harm. This book examines the historical backdrop, current practice and risks associated with cosmetic procedures. It discusses the ethical and regulatory challenges for this area. It also examines the current legal frameworks concerning people, practitioners and products in the UK. The book also draws lessons from regulatory approaches in other jurisdictions with particular reference to the United States, Brazil and France. It then sets out a legal and regulatory framework that might better protect and empower the cosmetic consumer, now and in the future. The book is likely to be of particular interest to those working in the areas of health and medical law, socio-legal studies and political science.

Download or read book Discourses of Perfection written by Anne-Mette Hermans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores editorial and advertising discourses related to cosmetic procedures and beauty products and services in UK lifestyle magazines, offering a holistic perspective on the normalisation of cosmetic procedures and the societal context in which particular perceptions have flourished. The volume examines the societal climate that contributed to cultural perceptions of the body as object and project, and constructions of masculinities and femininities as context for developments in lifestyle magazines’ content on beauty and cosmetic procedures. Integrating approaches from Critical Discourse Analysis, Thematic Analysis, and Content Analysis, Hermans explores the varying ways in which cosmetic procedures and other beauty products are marketed to different audiences and examines phenomena such as the problem/solution rhetoric, and developments in beauty advertising discourse specifically targeted at men. The book also investigates the continuum view of beauty products and cosmetic procedures, and examines the implications of these blurred boundaries for the regulation of the cosmetic surgery industry. This innovative contribution to research on the representation of cosmetic procedures and beauty products in the media will be of interest to scholars researching at the intersection of language, gender, individualised body projects, and sexuality.

This book investigates the ways in which cosmetic surgery is shaping gender, and in the process, it questions contemporary cultural studies assumptions about how we read the media.
Download or read book Federal Regulation of Methadone Treatment written by Committee on Federal Regulation of Methadone Treatment and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-02-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly three decades, methadone hydrochloride has been the primary means of treating opiate addiction. Today, about 115,000 people receive such treatment, and thousands more have benefited from it in the past. Even though methadone's effectiveness has been well established, its use remains controversial, a fact reflected by the extensive regulation of its manufacturing, labeling, distribution, and use. The Food and Drug Administration regulates the safety and effectiveness of methadone, as it does for all drugs, and the Drug Enforcement Administration regulates it as a controlled substance. However, methadone is also subjected to a unique additional tier of regulation that prescribes how and under what circumstances it may be used to treat opiate addiction. Federal Regulation of Methadone Treatment examines current Department of Health and Human Services standards for narcotic addiction treatment and the regulation of methadone treatment programs pursuant to those standards. The book includes an evaluation of the effect of federal regulations on the provision of methadone treatment services and an exploration of options for modifying the regulations to allow optimal clinical practice. The volume also includes an assessment of alternatives to the existing regulations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An impressive book. An important book."—Jamie Lee Curtis "I blame mirrors. If it weren't for them we wouldn't need plastic surgeons. In the meantime, anyone tempted to re-shape face, body and mind by means of knife should first read Blum's intelligent, persuasive and absorbing book. Both enticed and alarmed, the reader will at least know what she's doing and more importantly why. This is a book that takes you and shakes you by the throat, and leaves you the better for it."—Fay Weldon, author of The Life and Loves of a She-Devil "An eye-opening look at the dangers, both physical and emotional, of plastic surgery and of the power of beauty in all of our lives. Blum's book is an impressive interweaving of observation, oral interviews, cultural studies, and historical sources. An absorbing read, this is a scholarly book that general readers can enjoy."—Lois Banner, author of American Beauty "A provocative and thoroughly persuasive argument that we live in a culture of cosmetic surgery where identity is sited on the shifting surfaces of the body. Flesh Wounds brilliantly explores the link between the seductions of surgical self-fashioning and the star system, drawing on a stunning array of materials ranging from interviews with plastic surgeons, psychoanalytic theory, and the novel to the visual media of digital photography, film, and television."—Kathleen Woodward, author of Aging and Its Discontents: Freud and Other Fictions
Download or read book Evidence Based Cosmetic Surgery written by Fulvio Urso-Baiarda and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cosmetic surgery procedures are incredibly popular and a plethora of practitioners offer a tremendous diversity of procedures. However, much practice has been based on historical preference, tradition and non-evidence based decision-making. This book demystifies the decision-making process for common cosmetic surgical procedures by examining their evidence basis. Each chapter deals with a different subject of cosmetic surgery - facelift, breast augmentation, liposuction and so on - and investigates the formal evidence that exists for each. Should a surgeon be using drains after facelifts? What is the best anatomical plane for placing a breast implant? Which hand rejuvenation procedures work, and which do not? These questions, and many more, are addressed in an objective manner based on peer-reviewed evidence in the medical literature. Recognising that best evidence will change constantly, the book also introduces the hashtag - #ebcs - to enable easier debate of the subject on social media. This is a subject of fast-growing international interest at the moment. Professional societies and politicians in the United Kingdom are calling for increased scrutiny and regulation of the cosmetic surgery industry, particularly in the wake of the most recent breast implant scandal. Incredibly there currently exists no resource collating the best available evidence for cosmetic surgery procedures, as already exists for other surgical disciplines and for non-cosmetic plastic surgery. This book is aimed at surgeons with an interest in cosmetic surgery - including Plastic Surgeons, Maxillofacial Surgeons, Ear Nose and Throat Surgeons, Breast Surgeons, General Surgeons, Dermatologists and General Practitioners - as well as affiliated professionals such as nurses and therapists. It would also be of interest to medical students, prospective patients and those interested in a succinct summary of existing research, such as journalists.
Download or read book A Poor Prognosis for Autonomy written by Melanie Latham and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, cosmetic surgery in the United Kingdom, which is provided almost entirely by the private sector, has gained in popularity despite evidence of its potential risks to patients. Over 32,000 procedures were reported by one association of cosmetic surgeons alone in 2007, three times more than in 2003. This article examines the regulation of cosmetic surgery in the UK, in light of the need for informed consent and the importance of patient autonomy. Since 2000, the government has attempted through legislation covering all health care provision to regulate cosmetic surgeons' qualifications, patient rights to information, and the inspection and registration of premises. However, the risk to patients from unregistered and poorly qualified surgeons, and from private clinics with a poor quality of care, has still not been adequately addressed. Moreover, ensuring informed consent and the maintenance of standards has been left to professional self-regulation. An independent, government-funded umbrella organisation with lay representation and sufficient powers of registration and inspection of all relevant cosmetic surgery practitioners is needed to fully protect patients, and should have its roots in specific legislation governing cosmetic surgery.
