Cosmetic surgery for people with learning disabilities: considerations for adult protection practice

Paul Cambridge

2002 The Journal of Adult Protection

doi: 10.1108/14668203200200011

This paper explores the ethical issues surrounding the use of cosmetic surgery for and by people with learning disabilities. Although such interventions are less common in Britain than in the US, there is a growing interest in the use of cosmetic surgery to correct perceived defects in appearance and speech impairment. However, the assumed potential of cosmetic surgery brings adult protection concerns into stark relief.
