does anybody here live in the UK?
I live in Vic, Aus and all ‘non essential’ surgeries were cancelled during the covid pandemic. Even ivf was cancelled. The UK as far as I know has a lot more cases than VIC. Is there a reason plastic surgery hasn’t been cancelled? It’s not necessary amidst a global pandemic.
I’m in the U.K. and a family member has just had a private operation on a long term knee injury (so while not an emergency, also slightly more important than cosmetic - dependant on outlook.)
Private hospitals have been considered “covid safe” as they don’t have A&E’s - you have to self isolate before you go in, but they are still running. During lockdown 1, they held a lot of the NHS surgeries.
Long story short - private cosmetic clinics are fine to carry on with surgery as long as you’ve tested negative, but you seem to have a shorter stay and no one can visit. (from my family members experience.)
