A study performed by GoodSurgeonGuide showed that 51 percent of the women surveyed wanted a surgical procedure in 2010. Many women would have a procedure done if only they had the money to do it. Now there are institutions willing to give loans to women who want plastic surgery.

The most popular procedure in the UK is breast augmentation, and according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, there were 8,537 procedures performed in 2009. This is a little less than twice the number of the second most popular procedure. The media is constantly promoting bigger breasts and this can make women feel self conscious about their breast size. If they had the money to have a breast augmentation many would do it.

An article from Big News gives women hope for getting their dream breasts. It reported that there are groups of loan borrowers, of the sponsors of plastic surgeries. These institutions will offer money for cosmetic surgery. With the increased emphasis on looking good, many institutions can see the benefits of
offering loans to help people pay for their cosmetic procedures. Loan products have also been set up to help women who believe that they have a bad credit history and can’t get a loan. Women who want breast augmentation can find a lot of borrowers willing to help them.

Make Yourself Amazing is one of these groups that will help women to finance their breast augmentations. Their interest free loans are typically 12 month payment plans. These plans allow women to pay whatever they can, up front, and then pay the rest over a 12 month period, without any interest. They also offer flexible plans with regards to length of the loan, so that payments can be spread over a longer period of time. The plans are affordable. For example, repaying a treatment of ,2,995 can cost as little as ,20 a week, if it is spread over four years.

Having great breasts is something that most women want and would consider having plastic surgery to get. Some don’t do it because they don’t have all of the money set aside for it. Now that is no longer an issue. Loans are being offered to help women get the breast augmentations that they want. Women can have those awesome breasts in an affordable payment schedule that will fit their budget.

The quantity of plastic surgical procedures performed continues to top record numbers each year. Cosmetic surgery has become progressively more popular and is available to a wider range of individuals. Older people have procedures done to look younger and over-weight people get surgery done to be thinner. Men and women alike undergo plastic surgery to reshape the contours of their body. It has even been shown that teenagers are enthusiastic about plastic surgery.

A research study performed by GoodSurgeonGuide.co.ik said that 41 percent of girls between the ages of 13-16 years old are already considering a cosmetic procedure. That’s a little more than two in every five girls. Of the girls who said that they wanted a procedure done, 62 percent said they wanted bigger breasts, 55 percent wanted to change their teeth and 49 percent wanted some form of surgery for weight loss. Around 33 percent also thought that some nose work would be good too.

The study asked 1,012 girls in this age group about their views on cosmetic procedures and the answers were overwhelmingly positive from most of the girls. The media today has raised the awareness of the public concerning plastic surgeries. The majority of this media coverage is very flattering and thus, many people are more comfortable with considering cosmetic surgeries. It is not surprising that young girls have dreams of undergoing a procedure to make themselves more beautiful.

When asked about what concerns are making the girls consider plastic surgeries their answers were typical. Many teens are picked on at school about something and physical appearance is usually on the top of the list for bullies to pick at. Twenty-five percent of the girls said that they would change their appearance so that they would no longer be bullied about it at school. Celebrity worship is another category that pushed these girls to consider having plastic surgery. Most girls have some celebrity role model whom they idolize. Eleven percent said that considering a cosmetic procedure hinged on the fact that their celebrity role model had some plastic surgery done. Society promotes good looking bodies and pretty faces, as necessary for success, and teens see this idea everywhere they look.

Some of these teens, 49 percent, wanted to have the procedure now and 7 percent had already had some plastic surgery done. The co-founder of GoodSurgeonGuide.co.uk, Christiana Clogg commented, “If parents find themselves in situations where their children want surgery and they decide to support them, it is vital that the correct research is carried out to ensure teenagers don’t become victims of bad surgeons.”

A new type of cosmetic surgery called “fat grafting” is the latest attempt at getting ride of unwanted fat from some parts of the body while at the same time, plumping up the areas in need of curves.

This procedure involves removing fat from unwanted areas and injecting it into other parts of the body thereby accomplishing two goals at once. Though it sounds simplistic, in reality it is a surgical procedure that takes hours to perform and a skilled expert at the helm.

Fat transfer was originally pioneered as a way of offering implant free breast augmentation to patients. The concept involves harvesting fat cells through liposuction and injecting them into the breast tissue by means of hundreds of tiny droplets causing the fat to grow over time and increase the woman’s bust size naturally. Fat grafting also has potential for use on other parts of the body as well. Adult fat cells contain stem cells which can regenerate into collagen-producing cells to aid in skin texture and clarity. Though still in the trial stages, this fat grafting technique promises augmentation options without scars or incisions.

Dr. Roger Khouri is a microsurgery specialist who has been involved in administering a trial of the technique to over fifty women in the last five years with positive results. To those who are concerned about potential side effects, Dr. Khouri says “Nowhere has it been proven that fat is carcinogenic.” He touts the fact that this is an all natural procedure using the body’s own tissues and that it will last forever. Though more tests are needed to determine possible long term effects on breast cancer screenings, the future looks bright for this emerging technique.

A recent study has shown that nine out of ten teenage girls are unhappy with their bodies. Citing weight issues and dissatisfaction with heir breast size as the number one complaints, over 26 per cent of those surveyed said that they were considering plastic surgery.

These findings are disturbing considering that plastic surgery for teens has risen 500 per cent in the last three years with no end in sight. A recent BBC television programme took several teenagers on the road to meet up with other teens who have had cosmetic procedures done. Through honest dialogue the programme was able to change some minds regarding surgery and positive body image issues.

Thirteen year old Kianna has wanted to have breast implants for as long as she ca remember. She states: “The things I don’t like about my body are my breasts…I spend almost 100% of my life thinking about it.” Kianna’s mother doesn’t know where this obsession has come from but fears for her strong willed daughter who will not easily give up the dream of having a larger cup size.

On the BBC road trip Kiana met up wth 17 year old Katrina who is looking to plastic surgery as a quick fix for her self esteem issues. When asked about breast implants Katrina said, “I do want them to look a little bit fake like I have had them done…because then I’ll be more confident in showing other people ‘cos they won’t be mine.” These two young women were able to send their time on the trip chatting with others who have had the surgery done and don’t have positive things to say about it.

After hearing the horror stories of the pain involved with the procedure and the scars left behind, Katrina was still excited about the surgery, but more willing to weight awhile before she goes under the knife. Kianna changed her mind altogether, considering how her future hoped for career as a dancer might be thwarted by bigger breasts.

As disturbing as the attitudes of both these young women are, they are attitudes shared by many women today who struggle with poor body images. It is especially important for teenagers to undergo pre-surgical counseling to make sure they are having the surgery for the right reasons. Better still, a campaign for re-educating youth as to the nature of beauty might go a long way t improving the statistics of girls with a positive body image.

 Plastic surgery is being seen as a way to fix what is wrong in a young person’s life, but most teenagers simply don’t have the maturity to make an informed decision when it comes to cosmetic procedures.

For many of us plastic surgery is a one-step solution to remedying a problem which has troubled us for a long time. Be it re-enhancing our faces or covering up a receding hair line, once we’ve had the procedure and are happy with the results we tend to be much happier and thus walk away from the world of cosmetic surgery with a confidence boost and a much better life. However, for some people, cosmetic surgery simply becomes life, nothing is ever good enough. Nothing is every sculpted, or young or big enough. Getting addicted to plastic and cosmetic surgery can be dangerous and yet some people are still going back time and time again to enhance what doesn’t really need enhancing in the first place.

Sheyla Hershey, who already has the dubious accolade of having the world’s largest breast implants, is, if recent reports are to be believed, considering enhancing her bust even more.  Her cup size currently stands at a mind-blowing 38KKK and, if more surgery is on the menu, it seems the world records are going to have to be ripped up and re-written for this ravishing woman who doesn’t seem to be able to say when enough is enough.

However, the surgery might not yet happen, as surgeons in America have said that they are unwilling to perform the surgery as there are too many risks involved in increasing the cup size even further. This has pushed Miss Hershey to consider surgery tourism as, according to some reports, plastic surgeons in Brazil may well be more open to performing the procedure. As well as being entertaining, this story also highlights the dangers of cosmetic surgery tourism. If even in America, a land where anything and everything can be enhanced or smoothed over, doctors aren’t wanting to perform the surgery then this is probably a pretty good indication that it is unsafe. Surgeries may well be cheaper abroad but the level of care you receive may well not be as high as it would be if you stayed at home.

It isn’t just her breasts which have been surgically enhanced; Miss Hershey has had a whopping 18 plastic surgeries which range widely from rhinoplasty to buttock enhancement. She is also not alone in seeking bigger breasts; breast augmentation procedures are constantly the most popular on both sides of the Atlantic. But this story does the beg the question: How big is too big?

There might have been a time when it was considered that women couldn’t be boxers, that it was a sport which should only be attempted by men.  Times have changed but people will be saddened to hear that one woman is now facing another bout of discrimination in her attempt to be recognised as a true sporting great in the ring.

The problem for Sarah Blewden is that she had breast augmentation surgery in 2003. Blewden had originally wanted to become a model and thought that her surgical enhancement would help her along her chosen career path now, ironically, it is holding her back.

The Amateur Boxing Association of England has banned Sarah from pursuing a professional career, saying that “international rules” made it illegal for women with implants to box as there was a high risk that breast tissue could become damaged.  However, Sarah has hit a stinging blow back to Tony Atwood, the ABAE chairman, saying that: “My surgeon said they make me no more vulnerable than any other woman. They are not enormous ones – they are in proportion.” She also pointed out that she didn’t have liquid implants, but rather had chose to enhance herself with gel ones and thus there would be no danger that they might burst in the ring.  Indeed if such an occurrence happened more frequently on the female amateur boxing circuit the sport might get many more fans than it currently does. Joking aside though, Blewden is upset and feels she is being unfairly discriminated against.

Breast augmentation surgery is continually the most popular procedure in the U.K and the number of women going under the knife to improve their bust is actually increasing year on year. This could well be, as was the case originally with Sarah, because many women feel that bigger breasts will help them achieve their dream careers or boost them into the lower echelons into that baffling phenomenon known as celebrity. Indeed, it is staggering to think, if they have banned Sarah, what the ABAE would make of model Sheyla Hershey who, after a staggering nine operations has size 38kkk breasts; those would be certain to have any opponent on the ropes but would probably not take too kindly to being squeezed into a lycra outfit! One thing is for certain, this battle is likely to go the whole 12 rounds and whoever emerges the winner will have fought hard for their victory.
