Plastic surgery is not a big deal any more

In just a few years, cosmetic surgery has become mainstream. No more reasons to feel embarrassed about having a procedure. In fact, according a survey of British women by BUPA, over 80 percent of women believe cosmetic surgery is perfectly acceptable these days, with 1 in 4 of the 18-40 year old women surveyed saying they would have, or have had, some sort of procedure.

Of those who said they would consider surgery, just under two thirds (59 percent) said they would not be embarrassed to talk about it and over half said they would have more than one enhancement. 15 percent said they would get a loan to cover the cost, and five percent said they would use their credit card with the bulk of respondents saying they would save up. In the meantime, surgeons in the UK are protesting that plastic surgery giveaway is not a good idea.

So who would they like to look like?

Jennifer Aniston. And for all those of you who expected Angelina Jolie, no reason to be too disappointed. She came in a close second. Other popular celebrities were Kelly Brooke and Kate Winslet, both very curvaceous women.

There was not much difference in what procedures British women want: tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and liposuction. Other interesting findings: more divorced than single women want plastic surgery.
