It is also important to notice that 91% of those who opted for cosmetic surgery were women. But we should underline that the number of men who had cosmetic operation had a 16% rise!
The President of BAAPS, Rajiv Grover commented: “Both the UK economy and the British public seem to be well on the way to regaining their shape with the most impressive rise in demand for cosmetic surgery we have seen since the onset of the recession in 2008″ and added “Patient confidence and also consumer confidence has returned, with Britons choosing to spend on procedures with proven track records such as liposuction, which remains the gold standard for body contouring”.
