Ms Sturgeon says Scotland was the first country in the UK to introduce any statutory control of cosmetic surgery.
The first minister adds that regulation of cosmetic procedures undertaken by people who are not medically qualified is being looked at.
SNP MSP Stuart McMillan asks about improving regulation of the cosmetic surgery industry.
'Our surgeons left the country after our cosmetic surgery'
Cosmetic surgery is a booming industry in the UK, with 65,000 operations carried out last year.
But BBC Disclosure has discovered some companies use surgeons from abroad who fly in and out of the country, leaving patients exposed if complications arise.
Reporter Lucy Adams has spoken to three women who experienced complications when their surgeon was not around to provide immediate aftercare.
Tory MSP Annie Wells raises drug deaths. She insists that matters are getting worse and calls for action.

The forum has also pledged "urgent action" to protect those most at risk.
The city recorded the highest drug death rate in Scotland last year - measured at 66 - up from 57 in 2017.
It comes as MPs said the UK government should investigate decriminalising possession of all illegal drugs.

Scottish Green parliamentary co-leader Alison Johnstone says: "We've grown used to waiting for the SNP government to act on a number of issues."
Ms Johnstone says over the last three years the number of homes lost to short-term lets has tripled, and asks: How long will we have to wait until the government introduces the controls that are so needed?
The first minister says a consultation on the issue will be published soon.
Ms Johnstone accuses the SNP of being too timid to address short-term lets in the Planning Bill, citing the government's opposition to an amendment from her colleague Andy Wightman.
The first minister argues that Mr Wightman's amendment was trying to take a solution to the issue in Edinburgh and impose it across the whole of the country.
She says it is better to allow local authorities to decide their own approaches.

Mr Leonard says NHS workers are being badly let down and that patients are also suffering.
He says treatment guarantee waiting times are being missed and highlights the level of delayed discharges.
"This health crisis has blown up under your watch, it's your responsibility," he says.
The first minister argues that there have been significant real terms increases in NHS spending and a significant rise in the number of staff.
Ms Sturgeon says that had Scotland elected a Labour government in 2016, the NHS would be £750m poorer this year.
Mr Leonard points to pressures facing staff and increasing burnout.
"These workers are being let down, so what does the first minister intend to do about it?" he asks.
Ms Sturgeon says sickness absence fluctuates but has remained fairly stable in recent years.
She goes on to highlight an increase to the health budget, suggesting that the NHS would be worse off under the plan proposed by Labour in 2016.

Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard says that in 2013, the Scottish government published its 2020 Workforce Vision for the NHS.
Mr Leonard asks if the government is keeping its commitment to make the NHS a great place to work.

Image source, Getty ImagesYou can expect Labour to face scrutiny about the other constitutional question in this election campaign - would a Corbyn government agree to another independence referendum?
The Labour leader has been equivocal so far, refusing to actually block indyref2 but saying it wouldn't be a priority any time soon. Nicola Sturgeon has told him not to bother looking for SNP support for a minority Labour goverment if a referendum isn't on offer.
Boris Johnson is certainly already keen to capitalise on that issue, having said on three occasions now that the country could face two referendums in 2020 under Labour. Of course for roughly half the electorate in Scotland, that might be a selling point rather than a warning.
