The president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, Mr Fatah, has warned the BBC that the lines between cosmetic surgery and cosmetic salon treatments are being blurred.

Cosmetic surgery treatments should be conducted by trained professionals. 

“There is a difference between plastic surgery – facelifts, breast enhancement, tummy tucks, liposuction, etc – and cosmetic salon treatments such as lasers, peels and injectable fillers” he remarked. 

While cosmetic treatments such as BOTOX and fillers are temporary treatments carried out to manage the external signs of ageing, cosmetic surgery is considerably more complex.

Firstly, the reasons behind someone looking to have cosmetic surgery are likely to be quite involved.  Does the patient have realistic expectations for the outcome?  Has the patient suffered bullying?  Do they understand what surgery entails and what General Anaesthetic involves?  Are they prepared for the recovery/healing stage?  Are they prepared to  stop smoking/lose weight or similar prior to surgery?

A good Cosmetic Surgeon will spend time understanding the patient’s full motivations for surgery, as well as appraising their medical history and physiology. 

Mr Fatah added that when cosmetic surgery is done for the right reasons, “the reward is a significant enhancement of the wellbeing and the quality of life for the patient”.

A spokesman for Why Go Abroad said: “Often, a very simple cosmetic surgery procedure, such as liposuction or nose reshaping (rhinoplasty), can make a big difference to your look.

“This can often make you feel far happier with your body – and give you a real boost in confidence – but we would always urge clients to take full advantage of a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon prior to making any decisions.

“You should ask aall your questions and ensure that you have a thorough understanding of what can be achieved and what surgery involves.  Your surgeon should be honest about the realistic outcomes.”

At Why Go Abroad, all surgeons are certified by The General Medical Council and the cosmetic surgery process includes:

• An initial consultation with a cosmetic surgeon to discuss what procedure you’re considering and set realistic expectations
• A GMC-registered surgeon for the procedure
• A follow up appointment to check your post-op health
• Up to six months’ aftercare to ensure your continuing wellbeing.

Hair transplants and face lifts are two of the most popular procedures for those seeking a younger, fresher look for interviews.

A spokesman for Why Go Abroad said: “At the height of the recession, we are not – as some might assume – seeing a decline in interest in cosmetic surgery at all. In fact, we are seeing a wider range of people looking into it.

“One of these growth areas is among men and women who are in the job market and competing with much younger professionals. Quite often job hunters come to us to help them recapture a youthful appearance.”

Hair transplants

In particular, many people find that male pattern baldness can be an ageing condition and therefore hair transplants are proving especially popular.

Today’s transplants use the patient’s own hair to recreate a natural hairline, banishing the image of unrealistic wigs and poor quality weaves for good.

The surgeon will carefully weigh up the shape of the patient’s face and their age, as well as any likely future hair loss, before deciding on the total number of grafts required for the procedure.

Hair transplant prices in the UK start at £3,000, while face lift prices start at £4,595. As more and more people are finding out, that’s a small price to pay for your dream job!

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.”

In a recent interview with Elle magazine, the 47-year-old denied news reports suggesting that she has spent huge sums on plastic surgery – reportedly in the region of $375,000 – claiming: “I’ve had some work done but it’s not my face.

“It just irritates me that people are constantly saying how much I’ve spent on plastic surgery. I wish there was a little bit less fascination with how I look, whether it’s good or bad.”

However, Moore said she was open to the idea of more cosmetic surgery in the future.

A spokesman for Why Go Abroad said: “Anyone in the public eye who looks as good as Demi Moore at the age of 47 is going to be under the microscope.

“The truth is that procedures like face lifts, liposuction and boob jobs can all help you look and feel younger, and for many people – not just celebrities – that’s a very attractive prospect.

Affordable prices

“We offer specialist cosmetic surgery procedures at affordable prices so you can still achieve your perfect look, for a fraction of the cost that Demi Moore is reported to have spent.”

For example:

• liposuction from £2,450
• female and male hair transplants from £3,000
• breast enlargement from £3,295
• obesity surgery from £3,950.

What’s more, all these cheap prices are for expert treatment in the UK so you can be sure that whatever treatment you’re after, it’s available close to home.

Strange though it may be to hear gorgeous celebs like 28-year-old Shaw saying they aren’t happy with their appearance, a lack of confidence is something that can affect anyone – even a super-glam ‘Emmerdale’ actress!

That is why cosmetic surgery can be so vital.

A face lift or boob job may seem like just a new look to some people, but to others it can change their life by boosting their sense of worth and giving them the confidence to enjoy life to the full.

Cosmetic surgery can be a life-changing experience

A spokesman for why Go Abroad said: “We have seen it hundreds of times, when a patient comes in with very low self-esteem because they are unhappy with their body and, as a result, really struggles at work or socially.

“Often, a very simple cosmetic surgery procedure, such as liposuction or nose reshaping (rhinoplasty), can make all the difference to them. When we see them later for their review appointments they are often like a totally new person, loving work and socialising. That’s when it can be a very rewarding job.

“And when soap stars like Suzanne Shaw admit they aren’t happy with their body, it just goes to show that anyone can suffer from a lack of confidence.”

Cosmetic surgery prices are cheaper than you may think. Experienced surgeons and expert care is available in the UK at Why Go Abroad.

This year’s celebs certainly went all out in the glamour stakes, but signs of cosmetic surgery among the nominees were few and far between.

Most of the whispers were about Helen Mirren, following a recent interview where she refused to rule out cosmetic surgery, and Maggie Gyllenhall, while most observers believed that Best Actress winner Sandra Bullock has undergone plastic surgery of some description to retain her youthful looks.

Cosmetic surgery at Why Go Abroad

An expert at cosmetic surgery specialists Why Go Abroad said: “The quality of cosmetic surgery available today is summed up by the fact that its so difficult to tell who has had treatment and who hasn’t.

“All of the actresses looked great on the red carpet and we have reached a stage where surgery can be virtually invisible, even under the microscope of media speculation on Oscar night.”

And it is this high quality of treatment available, combined with affordable cosmetic surgery prices, that has helped move procedures away from just the red carpet, to everyday people.

Why Go Abroad’s three most popular procedures are breast enlargements, liposuction and abdominoplasty, or tummy tucks. It also offers obesity surgery, hair transplants and facial surgery.

For more information on this, or other procedures, request a brochure today.

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.”

Take a look at the pictures and make your own minds up, though experts at Why Go Abroad doubt she’s had a face lift – not only because she’s a natural beauty, but also because we’d expect a neater job than these snaps suggest.

We reckon this is more likely to be an unfortunate tensing of the neck muscles and tendons than a face lift, which helps erase lines on the face, rather than create them!

Take a look at some of Why Go Abroad’s before and after face lift pictures for a true idea of how the procedure can create a firmer and fresher appearance.

Latest research

Whatever the truth, some new scientific research is sure to bring a smile to Angelina’s face – the news that for men, looking at a curvy women can give them the say high as taking drugs!

The new findings explain why curvy Angelina is one of the figures that many women name when looking to have cosmetic surgery, especially women looking for boob jobs or liposuction.

A cosmetic surgery expert from Why Go Abroad said: “It’s inevitable that in today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, people will have images of Hollywood stars like Angelina Jolie in mind when they think about having cosmetic surgery.

“However, we believe that cosmetic surgery should always remain something for an individual, to make them feel more confident with their body or happier in themselves, rather than as an attempt to copy someone else.

“The bottom line is to consult an expert and have reasonable expectations, and that is exactly what we at Why Go Abroad ensure.”

Okay, so we know that Jane Seymour is luckier than most when it comes to her looks, but she’s also had one or two cosmetic surgery procedures to give nature a helping hand. So why not see if it could help you too?

In Jane’s case, cosmetic surgery has included a boob job and an eye-lift, and both are great examples of how plastic surgery can complement, rather than transform, your looks.

Cosmetic surgery experts Why Go Abroad

A spokesman for cosmetic surgery specialists Why Go Abroad said: “With someone as slim as Jane Seymour, it was vital that appropriately sized breast implants were used for a subtle yet more youthful effect.

“In the same way, any facial work on an actress has to be very delicate to ensure that it stands up to cameras’ scrutiny. In both cases, the results are fantastic.

“Her cosmetic surgery has helped Jane maintain a svelte, yet curvy figure, and a virtually wrinkle-free face. In fact, she looks great for a 30-year-old, let alone a 59-year-old!”

Why Go Abroad offers a range of cosmetic surgery procedures, from breast enlargement and breast augmentation, to liposuction and tummy tucks. Visit us on-line for a full-list of procedures and cosmetic surgery prices.

And it’s hardly surprising, either.

Cosmetic surgery today is almost an art form, with trained, experienced and skilled surgeons smoothing and shaping bodies (think of liposuction and tummy tuck procedures) to create happier, more confident patients.

This reality is a world away from the concerns many people harboured, even just a few years ago, about the safety of plastic surgery.

And everyone has marvelled at pictures of celebrities who have transformed their appearance with breast implants, a nose job or a hair transplant – and the great thing about it is that cosmetic surgery today isn’t just for A-list celebs.
