Top 5 Most Popular Plastic Surgery Operations

Plastic surgery is an increasingly popular option for people who are unhappy with their looks. However, the types of cosmetic surgeries people are choosing have shown a shift over the years, as new technology and choices have emerged. While some plastic surgeries have remained amongst the top five for years and years, there's a chance that economic factors - and the fact that more men than ever are turning to cosmetic surgery could shake up the numbers for good.



The most popular plastic surgery for women remains breast augmentation. However, while boob jobs remain at the top of the list, it's interesting to note the differences in the type of breast surgery woman are asking for. Now, rather than looking for an obvious or exaggerated look, more and more woman are seeking out natural looking breast implants and up to 60 per cent of woman in the UK booking breast surgery are doing it post pregnancy, as they aim to regain their former figures.



Liposuction and tummy tucks are other top five choices that are often considered as part of mummy makeovers but are also often considered on their own too. Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping, also remains among the top five most popular treatments for women as is blepharoplasty, also known as eye bag removal.



The types of plastic surgery women are choosing is also affected by factors such as the economic climate, and when money is tight a rise can be seen in non surgical solutions with treatments such as Botox enjoying a boost. Also gaining popularity are cosmetic surgery options for men, with male breast reduction enjoying one of the biggest booms as men aim to tackle the embarrassing condition.



It's important to remember that trends in plastic surgery don't represent people having surgery because they want to fit in with the crowd, rather they represent either the introduction of new procedures or they reflect the amount of publicity certain treatments have had. There are many plastic surgery choices that the majority of the general public haven't heard of, and when such treatments are popularized by increased media attention or a celebrity, there tends to be a peak in interest as people become aware of them for the first time.



The top five plastic surgery procedures may remain subject to change, but what hasn't changed is the amount of satisfaction gained by those who are able to successfully change their appearance to give them a happier and more comfortable self.
