The Medical Board of Australia will on Monday release new guidelines for doctors performing all cosmetic procedures, from anti-ageing injections to full body makeovers.

Ultimately our job is to protect patients and we are aware that some patients are harmed by cosmetic procedures and we want to reduce that risk
Dr Joanna Flynn, Medical Board of Australia chair

They require a seven-day cooling off period for adults before major procedures, and impose a mandatory requirement that doctors prescribing anti-ageing injections and dermal fillers see the patient – at least by video – before doing so.

Joanna Flynn, chairwoman of the medical board, said the public guidelines should send the message that all surgery is serious and requires proper consideration by patients.

"Ultimately our job is to protect patients and we are aware that some patients are harmed by cosmetic procedures and we want to reduce that risk," Dr Flynn said.
