Plastic surgery in Britain
So don’t blame just the Americans for their frequent trips to the cosmetic surgery clinics. According to latest statistics coming out of Britain, plastic surgery procedures grew by one third in 2005 over 2004. The top procedure for women, no surprise here, was breast augmentation, and nose jobs continue to be the top procedure for men.
Anti-aging procedures like facelifts, eyelid surgery and browlifts also showed a considerable rise in popularity in the last year. According to Adam Searle, consultant plastic surgeon and President of the BAAPS, “These figures appear to represent a growing acceptance of aesthetic surgery, particularly in maintaining appearance with age and the number of men choosing to undergo surgery.” (Related article: Eyes by Thermage)
Women had 89% of all cosmetic procedures and number of men who went under the knife grew from just 8% in 2004 to 11% in 2005. According to Mr. Douglas McGeorge, consultant plastic surgeon and President-Elect, “These increases maintain a solid trend – evidently, the British public want to feel good about the way they look as they age. A growing awareness of the procedures available and their continued safety are all contributors to the popularity of cosmetic procedures. When performed under the right circumstances, aesthetic surgery can have a very positive psychological impact and improve a patient’s quality of life.”
