Release Summary: The Harley Medical Group reports, bookings for
surgery amongst 45-65 year olds booms thanks to multiple marriages
Press
Release Body: According to The Harley Medical Group,
the UK's biggest cosmetic surgery provider, bookings for surgery
amongst 45-65 year olds doubled in 2008. When explaining why they'd
opted for 'silver surgery', patients from The Harley Medical
Group's 23 UK clinics cited second marriages as their
main motivation.
Liz
Dale, Director of The
Harley Medical Group, commented: "Many patients
have thought about surgery for a long time and when they come
out of a long-term relationship it can be part of their start
afresh strategy. Cosmetic
surgery helps give our patients renewed confidence as they
embark on new relationships and second marriages. We also see
many patients using Botox
to help keep their appearance fresh when they have a younger partner."
With
second marriages now accounting for one in three marriages in
the UK, a desire to look their best walking up the aisle the second-time
round is encouraging patients to book in for procedures to dilute
the ravages of time. Popular pre-nuptial procedures with middle-aged
women include Blepharoplasty, Brow Lift, Breast Uplift, Botox
and Face
Lift. Top ops for men include Rhinoplasty and Otoplasty, which
are often chosen to alter a feature they've long been unhappy
with.
Liz
Dale continued: "It's not only the demand for cosmetic
surgery that's changing, it's also the perceptions associated
with it. Twenty years ago the majority of our patients wouldn't
tell anyone about their surgery; it would be a complete secret.
Now the majority are happy to share the details of surgery with
their families and friends."
