Today in the UK it seems that when it comes to breast expansion, reshaping and reduction, purse-strings arent tightening. According to recent figures, boob jobs are booming in Britain despite the recession. The latest audit figures from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons show a slow but steady rise of five per cent from 2009 to a total of over 38,200 cosmetic surgery ops in the UK in 2010

Breast enlargement surgery is the UKs most common cosmetic surgery procedure. Increasingly women choose to have breast implants because they are unhappy about the natural size and shape of their breasts and suffer from a lack of confidence because of this. It can also be carried out to correct abnormalities that have been present since birth or be used to reconstruct the breasts after essential surgery. Key reasons for changes in breast size include age, hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy, weight loss and genetics.
Statistics show that the number of people having the treatment rose by ten per cent last year

Enlargement surgery involves the insertion of breast implants behind the natural breast tissues to increase the size of the breasts; while breast augmentation surgery is performed to create better symmetry and make the breasts larger, firmer and fuller. Alternatively, breast reduction surgery lifts the breasts and is great for women who suffer from a drooping chest. These procedures can help restore proportion to your body, increase your sense of femininity and can work wonders on your self-esteem and confidence levels. However, it isnt just women who opt for breast surgery. The number of men having gynaecomastia or man boob moobs surgery has also risen a whopping 28 per cent, with 741 going under the knife in 2010. This makes it the second most common procedure among males.
Surgery is not a light-hearted matter, but if you choose to go ahead with it you can rest assured that it is a simple and routine procedure performed under a general anaesthetic. It usually takes approximately an hour to perform and requires an overnight stay in hospital. If you are considering the treatment, be sure to go to a reputable and experienced provider.
( The origin of cosmetic surgery date back to over 4,000 years ago but it was not until the late 19th century that the US medical community embraced reconstructive surgery and the history of plastic surgery in the United States began. At a similar time in the UK the foundations of cosmetic surgery were being laid by notable, if isolated, achievements of British surgeons in the realm of reconstructive surgery.
The development of plastic surgery in the UK and US was heavily influenced by war. World War I presented physicians with scores of severe facial wounds and burns, changing the history of plastic surgery. Modern weapons caused types and severity of injuries that were unprecedented in the history of plastic surgery. Some of the greatest medical talent devoted themselves fully both to exploring the history of plastic surgery and creating new techniques to treat men maimed by the war. )
