Study Claims Gay Men are Willing to Undergo Cosmetic Surgery
According to the Independent on Sunday (IoS), UK plastic surgeons are likely to get away untouched by the credit crunch and economic crisis.
The publication states that the popularity of cosmetic surgery among men is still increasing. According to a study published by the Gay Times, homosexual men are especially keen on the opportunity to surgically improve their appearance, as 22 per cent of them have already had plastic surgery.
Moreover, out of the 1,000 gay men interviewed by the publication, 69 per cent claimed they would be interested in having cosmetic surgery some time in the future.
Patrick Preston, who is a representative of Millivres, the company that owns Gay Times, revealed to the IOS: “With the average gay man earning £5,203 more than the national average [taking home, on average, £31,099 a year], gay men have a higher disposable income and, as a result, the pink pound is doing well.”
Dr Thomas Stuttaford has written in the Times, that plastic surgery can be a way to significantly improve the patient’s mental health, especially in the cases when it is used to correct a deformation or reconstruct problems caused by an injury.
