There are a number of reasons why Britain's plastic surgery industry has flourished during the recession, when many other industries and businesses struggled with increasing financial losses. By helping people look their best and achieve their ideal appearance, plastic surgery procedures have been proven to boost employment and promotion prospects, while greater acceptance and understanding of treatments have also helped cosmetic procedures become embraced by ever more men and women.

One of the reasons cited for the growing acceptance of plastic surgery among British men is the frank attitude towards surgery expressed by celebrities such as Simon Cowell and Gordon Ramsay, causing a surge in the number of men booking non-surgical treatments such as Botox and more invasive procedures, such as nose jobs and eye bag removal. However, it's still women who are leading the way in the plastic surgery boom, helping to keep procedures such as breast enlargements top of the pile as the world's most popular plastic surgery treatment.

In the United States alone, more than 310,000 women had breast enlargements last year, according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS). These procedures are not simply for the sake of vanity, but can help women to achieve a bust size more in proportion with the rest of their body. Breast augmentation is not the only type of breast surgery, of course, and just as women who feel their breasts are not large enough can choose enhancement, so are more women with oversized busts choosing breast reduction.

Reducing the size of breasts can have numerous advantages to women whose bust size increased following pregnancy, weight loss and other causes, including reducing back pain and the strain on other areas of their bodies. Women with drooping or sagging breasts are also increasingly opting for breast lift surgery (also known as mastopexy) to restore the shape of their breasts as well as their self-confidence.

Enhancing your body with plastic surgery means improving more areas than just the breasts, and surgeons the world over are seeing more men and women bringing photos of celebrities and other people whose appearances they admire to help them plan their surgery. Helping patients to obtain a clear and honest idea of their results from plastic surgery is a key part of consultations and after-care services, ensuring that patients do not go into surgery with unrealistic expectations and will be satisfied with their results.
