As well as the breast enlargement price, there’s also the breast implant type (we recommend cohesive gel implants), size and shape (classic round or ‘teardrop’ style) that you need to consider.

But one of the most important factors is also one that’s often overlooked – the aftercare that’s on offer from the provider.

Expert cosmetic surgery provider Why Go Abroad explained: “A boob job, like all forms of surgery, should only be performed by an expert, with patient safety as the top priority. That’s why all our surgeons are GMC-certified.

Six months of aftercare following a boob job

“On top of that, all breast augmentation patients receive six months of aftercare as standard, to ensure they are not just happy with the results of the procedure, but also healthy and recovering correctly.

“All prospective patients should ask their consultant about the aftercare they will receive to ensure they will be getting the best.”

Another way of ensuring that your provider offers a first-class service is to ask to see previous patients’ results (check out some of Why Go Abroad’s boob job before and after pictures here). If your consultant is reluctant to show you previous outcomes, then take our advice and avoid them altogether!

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!

The former Eternal signer said: “I’ll do my research, but I think if you don’t go crazy it can be done well. I’m in reasonable shape, but I think every single woman in the country would want to change something.”

In Louise’s case, she highlighted her ‘flabby tummy’ as something that she wasn’t happy with – common among women who have had two children.

Tummy tuck on the cards?

In that case, an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, could be the perfect solution. The procedure removes excess fat and skin from the tummy – to produce a tighter, flatter stomach – and is popular among mothers of all ages. (Tummy tuck prices and further information is available from Why Go Abroad.)

However, the key to Louise Redknapp’s cosmetic surgery comments is the sensible approach she highlights.

Why Go Abroad explained: “All responsible providers should give you the chance to meet your surgeon in advance, so you feel comfortable and can raise any concerns, and the surgeon can set reasonable expectations.

“In Louise’s case, she clearly took a very sensible approach in seeing someone she trusted to discuss treatment, but then heeding his advice when he said she was not a good cosmetic surgery candidate.

“Her comments also highlight another important fact – even the most beautiful people can feel unhappy with their body at times, and cosmetic surgery can be a very effective way to boost your confidence.”

A survey by shopping advice website MyVoucherCodes.co.uk showed that rather than going without cosmetic surgery during the credit crunch, people are borrowing money to have treatments.

The cosmetic surgery poll looked at 1,388 people who had either has surgery or were considering it. It showed that more than 60 percent of post-op patients had paid for their procedures through a loan or with a credit card.

The top three procedures paid for by borrowing were:

• Breast enlargement
• Cosmetic dental work
• Liposuction.

Nose jobs, tummy tucks and gastric bands were all also on the list.

Furthermore, the study revealed that more than half of those currently considering plastic surgery said they’d borrow to fund the procedure.

However, cosmetic surgery provider Why Go Abroad said that procedures don’t have to be expensive.

“Cosmetic surgery prices vary greatly from one provider to the next and we would urge anyone considering a procedure to speak to as many as possible to find the best deal for them,” said a spokesman.

“That said, price should not be the only consideration and, at Why Go Abroad, patient wellbeing is the top priority. That’s why we ensure every patient meets their surgeon before any treatment and that all of our surgeons are GMC-certified.”

The ‘Paparazzi’ singer, famed for her unique style as much as her music, is reportedly unhappy with her appearance and considering a range of cosmetic surgery treatments.

A boob job, nose job and thigh lift are all among her plans, according to music station MTV.

If she goes ahead, she’ll be following in the footsteps of singing legends Madonna, Mariah Carey, Cher and Debbie Harry who have all had cosmetic procedures done during their stellar careers.

Advice from Why Go Abroad

Cosmetic surgery experts at Why Go Abroad have offered the popular 24-year-old songstress this advice: “It’s important not to rush into any decision.

“Cosmetic surgery can have a really positive effect on your confidence and appearance but, like all surgery, it should not be undertaken lightly.

“It’s vital to have an honest and open consultation with your surgeon so you can explain what you’d like and they can set realistic expectations for you.

“In the end, whether you are a celebrity or not, anyone can be unhappy with their body and cosmetic surgery, performed by an experienced professional, can help,” added a spokesman.

The most popular procedures performed by Why Go Abroad are breast enlargement operations, liposuction and tummy tucks – or abdominoplasty.

The council in question is rightly keen that cosmetic surgery is not overly glamorised, but plastic surgery experts argue that the images can play a key role in helping patients make informed decisions.

So what is the truth?

Cosmetic surgery experts at Why Go Abroad reckon it’s somewhere in between.

“The council is clearly trying to be responsible and it’s absolutely true that no-one should ever feel pressured or tricked into surgery,” said a spokesman.

“However, the truth is that patients want to see what the outcome of a procedure could be. If a woman is thinking of a breast enlargement, she wants to know how it could look so she can visualise the difference to her. Similarly, if a man is considering a hair transplant or male breast reduction surgery, a before and after picture could make all the difference.

“The risk with banning real-life pictures of former patients is that some providers might use artificial images, which is not the way to go.”

Why Go Abroad uses only General Medical Council-certified surgeons to ensure that patients’ wellbeing is always the top priority.

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.”

Leading American plastic surgeon Dr James Shire reckons that about a third of his patients are male. More importantly, over the past 12 months, those numbers are increasingly dramatically.

And it’s not just abroad that has seen a rise in plastic surgery for men, with UK-based experts Why Go Abroad also seeing a trend for more males on the surgeon’s couch.

“Even as little as five years ago many men still felt as though cosmetic surgery was principally for women. That view has totally changed now and we are seeing a real increase in men as a result,” said a spokesman.

“After all, why shouldn’t men have every right to improve their body and confidence too?”

What cosmetic surgery are men choosing?

The most popular procedure among Dr Shire’s male clients is rhinoplasty (or nose reshaping) with 24 percent of patients having it done. In second place, at 14 percent, was liposuction.

For Why Go Abroad, hair transplants and male breast reductions (or moob jobs!) are added to these to make up the top four procedures for men.

A spokesman for Why Go Abroad added: “All of these procedures deliver the same basic principle – making patients look and feel better – which is why men should feel every bit as entitled to cosmetic surgery as women.”

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.

While the requests are more common in Hollywood, UK-based cosmetic surgery expert Why Go Abroad has also seen its fair share of celeb-related queries.

Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr Richard Fleming has compiled a list of the most requested celebrity features and the results aren’t too surprising: Nicole Kidman has the ‘perfect’ nose, and Heather Graham has the most requested eyes.

Oscar-winner Halle Berry has the best bum while fellow former Bond girl Denise Richards has the lips of choice. Cate Blanchett’s jawline and Britney Spears body complete the ‘most sought-after’ list.

Professional Industry

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 the confidence of a stunning celeb – but we would always urge clients to be wary of any cosmetic surgeon that offers to turn you into your idol.

“Having a look in mind and discussing it with your consultant beforehand is great, but cosmetic surgery is about your body and 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
