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.

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.”

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.”

Specialists at Why Go Abroad are helping remove this uncertainty thanks to their at-a-glance guide to cosmetic surgery.

First of all, relax, there are more than 100,000 cosmetic surgery procedures carried out in the UK every year. In fact, some estimates suggest the figure is nearer 200,000 – that’s around 550 plastic surgery ops a day – so, provided you consult an expert provider like Why Go Abroad, you’re in good hands.

What cosmetic surgery is available?

Why Go Abroad offers the following:

• Cosmetic surgery – the most popular procedures are boob jobs, liposuction and tummy tucks. Cosmetic surgery can be broken down into breast surgery, body surgery and facial surgery
• Obesity surgery, or weight-loss surgery, such as gastric bands and gastric balloons
• Hair restoration surgery, predominantly hair transplants.

How safe is cosmetic surgery?

Cosmetic surgery is very safe but, as with all medical procedures, there is inevitably an element of risk. To minimise any risk, however, Why Go Abroad only employs experienced, GMC-registered surgeons.

In addition, patients see a patient care co-ordinator as well as their surgeon prior to the treatment, so they can discuss the procedure in detail and see before and after pictures of the surgeon’s work.

Once the operation is complete, Why Go Abroad also offers expert aftercare as part of its service, to ensure that recovery is as smooth as painless as possible.

What about the prices?

Cosmetic surgery prices vary, for example liposuction is available from just £2,450, while a boob job starts at £3,595.

Why not call the experts and see how we can help?

But cosmetic surgery experts at Why Go Abroad are urging people to speak to the specialists rather than just looking to the media to make up their minds on surgery.

A spokesman for Why Go Abroad said: “Celebrity stories tend to highlight the extremes – the best or worst plastic surgery results out there – but this shouldn’t be your only impression of the industry.

“In fact, the whole notion that surgery can turn anyone into a model or film star is pretty irresponsible.

“The majority of our cosmetic surgery patients have minor treatments just to boost their confidence, rediscover the body they had a few years ago, or even just to look and feel happier and healthier.

“We insist on consultations before any treatment, to talk through exactly what a procedure entails and why they are having it done, and we believe in being totally honest and open about what surgery can achieve.”

Boob jobs remain most popular procedure

The top treatment in the UK remains breast enlargement, which has been number one for years. As industry expertise has increased, so boob jobs have become more affordable, today available from just £3,595.

Second on Why Go Abroad’s most wanted list is liposuction, to smooth and shape the body. Not to be confused with obesity surgery, liposuction results in a more sculpted figure, rather than dramatic weight-loss.

The third most requested procedure among Why Go Abroad’s patients is a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, which is especially popular among mothers who are looking to regain their flat stomach after pregnancy.

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.

A total of 2,046 pints of fat were removed during liposuction procedures in the West Midlands over the past five years – that’s 409 pints a year!

Despite this vast figure, liposuction shouldn’t be confused with weight-loss surgery – the procedure is very much a cosmetic treatment to remove stubborn areas of fat and reshape the body.

And with prices from just £2,450 and amazing before and after results, it’s hardly surprising that so many people have opted for the treatment.

But it’s not just liposuction that is booming

Elsewhere in the industry there has been a major growth in male cosmetic surgery, with male breast reduction (the procedure that coined the term ‘moob’, or ‘man boob’) at the forefront.

In spite of this, the most popular procedure carried out by cosmetic surgery experts Why Go Abroad remains the boob job.

A spokesman for Why Go Abroad said: “Boob jobs make up around half of the procedures we carry out each year, with liposuction the second most popular and tummy tucks the third.

“The industry may be changing but these three remain at the top of the list.”
