Cosmetic surgery "before and after" photos along with "Botox parties" may soon be banned in Australia under a State Government crackdown on shoddy surgeons operating out of living rooms.

An expert task force will also be assembled to examine cosmetic surgery advertising that exploits vulnerable people by giving them unrealistic expectations. The move, The Daily Telegraph reports, follows a similar draft of guidelines recently published by the Victorian Government and comes after a survey revealed one in five Australian women had undergone a non-surgical cosmetic treatment such as Botox or collagen injections.

Dubbed the Tupperware party of the 21st century, Botox parties often include your basic happy-hour fare: food, drink, more drink. They also typically include a syringe-happy doctor who injects willing participants with Botox (a purified protein that inhibits a type of chemical that causes muscle contractions) just under the skin to temporarily paralyze the face muscles, allowing the skin to smooth out.

The official Botox website explains, "Most doctors frown on any procedure not being performed in a completely controlled environment. The cleanliness of a hospital along with its accompanying support network is important should any need for it arise. The ease in which Botox can be administered is the primary reason why the "Botox Party" has become a trend."

The procedure can range anywhere from $300 to $1,000. A single procedure's effects can last anywhere from three to six months.

Dr John Flynn, CEO of the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery, believes "Botox parties are a concern because they are an emotive situation and if there is alcohol involved than people may not be able to make a clear decision."

According to Plastic-Surgery.Net, the most common side effect related to Botox treatment is slight bruising around the area of treatment. Another potential side effect is that the Botox spread to unintended areas causing temporary eyelid drooping or limited range of motion in other facial muscle groups. Other uncommon short-term side effects that may be experienced include minor facial pain, redness of the skin in the area surrounding where the Botox was injected, and weakness of the facial muscles. These side effects typically go away after one week.
