Read our privacy policy Adverts for cosmetic surgery aired during episodes of ITV’s Love Island have been ruled “irresponsible” and “harmful” by the Advertising Standards Agency following complaints from mental health groups. The Mental Health Foundation was one of 17 complainants to contact the ASA after adverts for MYA Cosmetic Surgery were aired, arguing they “exploited young women’s insecurities” and “trivialised” breast enhancement surgery. The charity said the decision was a “watershed moment” for cosmetic surgery advertising and could help address body image concerns, which are a "root cause" of mental ill health in young people. Commenting on the ASA’s ruling the Mental Health Foundation’s director Isabella Goldie, said: “Today’s decision marks a watershed moment for cosmetic surgery advertising which we wholeheartedly welcome.
