The
UK has seen a significant boom in the number of cosmetic surgery
procedures being undertaken in 2008 and shows no sign of slowing
down this year, despite the recession taking full hold.
The
number of people opting for surgery has soared over the past five
years by a staggering 320 per cent. According to the British Association
of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), an unbelievable 34,100
procedures were performed in 2008.
Boosting self-confidence and the desire for the ultimate beach
body are said to be the major reasons for people to undergo surgery.
The
research findings also show cosmetic surgery is no longer dominated
by women, male surgery has also seen a steady increase over recent
years with the most popular procedure being rhinoplasty aka ‘the
nose job’.
The
most popular treatment for women in 2008 remains breast augmentation,
seeing an increase of 30 per cent. However abdominoplasty, also
known as the ‘tummy tuck’, came a close second with
3,300 women opting to go under the knife, all in the name of beauty.
The
Hospital Group, one of the country’s leading cosmetic surgeries
and weight loss providers, has also seen a considerable increase
in the number of procedures being undertaken.
The
Group saw a staggering 45 per cent increase in the number of women
having breast
enlargement. Formen, bilateral gynaecomastia, or ‘moob
removal’, has seen a substantial rise in popularity with
an increase of 20 per cent - proving men care as much about their
appearance as women.
