Following research by the University of Aberdeen which revealed that British women have cosmetic surgery to please their partners, healthcare provider, BMI Healthcare said that it wrongly reflects the British cosmetic surgery industry. BMI Healthcare has conducted approximately 1262 procedures since January this year for their national cosmetic surgery product and one of its surgeons,Akhtar Hussain, believes that the majority of patients are doing it for their own reasons.

Akthar Hussein comments: “There can be a great deal of physical and emotional trauma associated with plastic surgery and it is important that patients do it for their own reasons. According to best practice guidelines issued by the General Medical Council, we can turn patients away if we feel that they are pressurised into having cosmetic surgery or where we believe that cosmetic surgery would not be of any benefit to them.”

According to BMI, one of most common trends is women undergoing breast augmentation surgery post-pregnancy, as they tend to lose weight and find that extensive breast-feeding can change the shape of their breasts.
