Against all odds: Cosmetic Surgery boost in figures

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) have released the figures for the number of cosmetic procedures in the UK, and despite the recent PIP scandal in 2012, figures have shown an impressive 17% overall increase on average (a significant increase that has not been seen since before the 2008 recession), with over 50,000 cosmetic procedures carried out in 2013. Women accounted for 90.5% of all cosmetic procedures in the UK with the top ten procedures being:

Liposuction: 43% increase, with 3,772 procedures performed (largest increase of all cosmetic procedures)
