Half of 16 to 21-year-old girls asked said they would consider cosmetic surgery as an option to changes their looks… and there can be few greater endorsements of plastic surgery than receiving Girlguiding UK’s approval!

Why Go Abroad first highlighted this trend months ago, and a spokesman for the company said interest from younger people has continued to rise.

“Where once the majority of our procedures were face lifts, boob jobs or breast uplifts for women who were getting older, now we are seeing an increase in younger women and men turning to cosmetic surgery,” he said.

Change in cosmetic surgery trend

“Although our GMC-certified surgeons don’t operate on anyone under 18, we are certainly seeing a rise in procedures among young mums and those in their early 20s. As a result, treatments such as tummy tucks and liposuction are on the rise.

“Among young men, hair transplants remain popular as male pattern baldness is a real problem for some men in their 20s.”

However, behind the industry’s expertise and professionalism, some patients celebrate the lighter side to cosmetic surgery.

One celeb is doing exactly that, as Sharon Osbourne has decided to eBay her breast implants!

The former X Factor judge has reportedly spent £300,000 on cosmetic surgery over the years and fancies another change, so is doing away with her current boob job.

Sharon was quick to say that she’ll get more work done in the future and her 25-year-old daughter, chat show host Kelly Osbourne, has already confirmed that she’ll have a breast uplift when she’s older.

Bullet-proof breast proves a life-saver

Meanwhile, an American woman’s boob job may have saved her life after a gunman opened fire in the Beverly Hills dental surgery that she works in.

Lydia Carranza was shot at close range with a semi-automatic rifle, but her D-cup silicone breast implant took the force of the shot and protected her major organs, with bullet fragments ended up millimetres from her heart.

While cosmetic surgery experts Why Go Abroad can’t guarantee that every procedure will be as rewarding as a breast augmentation that doubles as a bullet-proof vest, these before and after pictures at least show what you can expect.

While breast enlargements and tummy tucks remain popular among younger women, cosmetic surgery experts at Why Go Abroad have seen a significant rise in age-defying procedures, such as face lifts, arm lifts and breast uplifts:

• A face lift involves an incision in the natural crease of the facial skin and the removal of excess skin, providing a fresher and rejuvenated appearance. This can also include treatments such as a brow lift, neck lift and eye bag removal, among others.
• An arm lift is a popular way of removing excess skin (often known as ‘bingo wings’) from around the upper arms, and restoring a toned, shapely look.
• A breast uplift, or mastopexy, is another great way to regain your former figure. The procedure removes excess skin from the breast and raises the bust to make your boobs firmer and appear more youthful.

Youthful cosmetic surgery for men

And men are certainly not missing out on the trend, with hair transplants and male breast reductions also in demand. In fact, ‘man-boob’ reductions (or ‘moob jobs’) are the fastest growing cosmetic surgery procedures in the UK.

A spokesman for Why Go Abroad said: “The key to our service is not just the expert surgeons and quality of cosmetic surgery procedures, but the specialist consultation and aftercare we offer.

“This means you can speak to us in total confidence to decide whether or not the procedure is right for you, and then proceed with confidence and realistic expectations of the outcome.”

And you’re right, cosmetic surgery is a great way to achieve the body of your dreams.

But before you decide on the procedure for you, cosmetic surgery experts Why Go Abroad have put together this simple guide to boob jobs.

Boob jobs explained

Firstly, you may hear the procedure called several different names: breast enlargement, breast augmentation, breast implants, to name but a few.

Don’t panic! These all refer to the UK’s most popular cosmetic surgery procedure, a simple boob job, which enlarges the breasts and create a more shapely and better-proportioned figure.

But if you’re not happy with your bust, it’s not just a case that bigger is better.

In fact, breast reduction operations are becoming increasingly popular. This procedure is just as effective at helping women feel confident about their bodies.

And men no longer need to feel left out, as gynaecomastia – or male breast reduction – is one of the cosmetic surgery industry’s biggest growth areas!

Finally, a breast uplift procedure is also available for women looking to regain a more youthful figure.

This is slightly different from a boob job and shouldn’t be confused. A breast uplift – or mastopexy – raises sagging breasts to make them more pert. If breast tissue has been lost, a breast implant can be inserted for a more voluptuous shape.

Take a look at some of the UK’s best cosmetic surgery prices, and speak to one of Why Go Abroad’s experts to find out the best procedure for you.

That means looking and feeling good and the latest ‘secret weapon’ for ladies is now on sale – pump up air pads, to give the illusion of a bigger cleavage. However, these bras are no substitute for the permanent boost of a boob job!

Short-term interest in the air pads has been high, but cosmetic surgery experts Why Go Abroad explained why breast enlargement procedures would always remain superior.

“Breast augmentation can give you the bust you have always dreamed of,” he said. “With any temporary boost, you tend to see only minor benefits and become even more conscious of your boob size as soon as you take it away.

“This is why boob jobs are the number one cosmetic treatment carried out by Why Go Abroad and why we are seeing increasing numbers of women enquiring about the procedure.”

Breast uplift – a boost for body and mind!

While most people are aware that breast enlargement surgery is available, breast uplift treatment is less commonly known.

Rather than making the boobs bigger, an uplift – or mastopexy – changes the shape of the breasts to make them appear firmer, more pert and youthful. Many women who come to Why Go Abroad’s consultants start off thinking they would like a boob job, but realize that a mastopexy is for them.

This advice and expertise is what we are here for, so why not check out our cheap breast augmentation prices and give us a call for more information.

The simple fact is that cosmetic surgery in the UK is incredibly safe but the best way of dealing with your concerns is simply talking to your surgeon openly and honestly, well before deciding on any treatment.

If your surgeon ignores your concerns or won’t discuss them, it’s a pretty good indication that you should go elsewhere, because patients should always feel informed and at ease before they make any decision.

You can do your bit by only speaking to qualified and experienced practitioners, like Why Go Abroad, who offer pre-treatment consultations to reassure patients and discuss everything about the cosmetic surgery.

So what plastic surgery procedures are open to you?

While boob jobs – also known as breast enlargement or augmentation – are the most popular procedures in the UK, there has also been a sharp increase in breast uplift treatments, which adjust the shape, rather than size, of the boob.

Liposuction is second on the list of most common cosmetic surgery procedures, with tummy tucks – or abdominoplasty – coming in third.

And as well as the variety of cosmetic surgery procedures now available, prices have really fallen in recent years. Where once plastic surgery was reserved for the A-list elite, today it is totally affordable.

Check out these amazing cosmetic surgery prices from Why Go Abroad to see that cheap prices can go hand-in-hand with reassurance, safety and expertise.

The ‘Back to Black’ singer is alleged to have forked out £35,000 on cosmetic surgery recently, and is apparently keen for more.

Fortunately, you can achieve amazing results at much more affordable prices, with all the advice and information you need to feel comfortable about your procedure.

A spokesman for Why Go Abroad said: “Every day brings news of more celebrities who are championing cosmetic surgery procedures. Not just Amy Winehouse, but now Cheryl Cole has followed Natalie Portman in saying she would consider surgery in a few years time.

“However, it’s important that people don’t see cosmetic surgery as exclusive to A-list celebs.

“Plastic surgery can boost people’s confidence and transform their outlook on life and it’s also very affordable now. That’s why it’s so important that clear information is available and consultations are held to help any decision.”

What cosmetic surgery procedures are available?

As cosmetic surgery has become more readily available, it has not only become cheaper, but the range of treatments has broadened. Today, dozens of procedures are now commonly performed, including:

• Breast enlargement (also known as breast augmentation)
• Breast uplift
• Liposuction
• Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty
• Face lift

Why Go Abroad offers all of the above, as well as numerous other treatments, in the UK. All procedures come with expert pre-consultation and aftercare, so you can make an informed choice on whether cosmetic surgery is right for you.

The gorgeous 28-year old might not need any procedures as yet, but she is one of the growing numbers of men and women who acknowledge that plastic surgery can help their career.

A spokesman for cosmetic surgery experts Why Go Abroad said: “Inevitably your body shape changes as you age and more and more people realise that minor procedures are not just about transforming how they look, but also how they feel.

“Looking younger gives you such a confidence boost that you actually perform better and this can boost your earnings, whether you have an everyday job or work in Hollywood.”

Breast augmentation always grabs the headlines

The rumour mill has always centred on celebrities who have had breast enlargement ops, including famous names such as Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra – and people seem to love speculating about dozens of others in the media spotlight.

While breast augmentation is undoubtedly the most popular cosmetic procedure in the UK, it isn’t just larger breast that can transform your looks.

Why Go Abroad also offers breast reduction and – perhaps less well known – breast uplift procedures (or mastopexy) to those seeking renewed confidence in their body. Although less common, both can have just as much impact as breast implants.

While breast augmentation is affordable (starting from just £3,295) other cosmetic surgery prices can start from as cheap as £2,195.
