More people than ever before are having plastic surgery, according to new research.
Across the Atlantic, statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show that almost 10 million cosmetic surgical procedures were carried out in 2009.
Facelifts were popular with 94,294 people demanding younger-looking skin while 283,735 opted for liposuction. The statistics from the organisation, gathered from over 2,400 members across the globe including the United States and Canada, also show that an increasing number of men are keen to go under the knife. Men were responsible for more than 900,000 cosmetic procedures a jump of 9% on the previous year.
Likewise, the demand for cosmetic surgery is on the rise in the UK. The latest figures from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, the not-for-profit organisation, reveal the number of surgical procedures last year exceeded 36,400 a steady rise of 6.7% from 2008, despite the financial downturn.
The most impressive stats have been recorded specifically in male surgery, the demand for which has grown by 21% overall, with the number of gynaecomastia or man-**** ops having shot up by 80%.
