Cosmetic Surgery Continues to be Booming Business

Despite the hard economic times and the latest news surrounding the PIP breast implant recalls, cosmetic surgery is still a big business in the UK and the latest statistics seem to indicate that it’s going to continue to grow.

Since 2010, the number of women who have undergone cosmetic surgery has risen by about 5.8% according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPs). The number one surgery requested and performed remains breast augmentation, increasing to 6% in 2011. Overall, breast surgery – augmentation or reduction – accounts for nearly 13% of the rise in cosmetic surgery for women.

Not surprisingly, women accounted for 90% of all cosmetic procedures in 2011, which is roughly the same percentage of total procedures as in 2010. The top ones were:

• Breast augmentation - up 6.2% from last year slightly less than last year's 10% rise
• Blepharoplasty (eyelids) were up 4.8% to become the second biggest procedure for women
• Face/Neck Lifts were third place for the second year running, with 4,700 procedures

For men, tummy tucks, otherwise known as abdominoplasty, grew to about 15% over the year. However the most popular procedure remained rhinoplasty, or nose jobs, for men, accounting for about 1,043 procedures performed in the UK.

Overall, 43,069 procedures were done by BAAPs members for men and women in 2011, compared with 38,274 in 2010, a rise of 5.8%.
