A leading plastic surgeon of the UK has come under fire for offering a range of cosmetic surgeries to school girls under various pretexts.

Douglas McGeorge, the president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, claimed that he reshaped the nose of a teenager who was bullied no end and was in depths of despair.

He said the girl’s allowed her have the procedure, known as rhinoplasty, after she was targeted over her appearance at three schools.

But he insisted that the procedure, costing around Ģ4,000, had transformed her life after years of extreme bullying.

The surgeon, who helps train doctors in cosmetic surgery, said the girl's life had been transformed since the operation.

He added: 'This was an unusual case but the parents had been through every other option available before taking the decision.

'She was starting a new school at Christmas and wanted to fit in. I bumped into her later on holiday and she was very confident. Her hair was tied back whereas before her hair was hanging down over her face."

Although it was the only case in which McGeorge, a consultant plastic surgeon at the Grosvenor Nuffield Hospital in Chester, had agreed to reshape a child's nose, he also offered expandible breast implants to girls with a rare form of developmental disorder while operations to pin back children's ears or straighten their teeth were common.
