Finnish politicians are calling for stricter regulation of the cosmetic surgery sector after renewed concern over patient safety. The debate sharpened following the death of social media influencer Olivia Oras, who died at the age of 27 in connection with liposuction in Helsinki.

Lawmakers say the industry allows complex procedures to be performed without specialist training, raising questions about how patients are protected. The case has put pressure on authorities and decision-makers to examine whether Finland’s rules and supervision are strong enough.
