Thousands of British consumers will turn to borrowing money in their efforts to finance cosmetic surgery, according to recent research.

Figures compiled by Abbey Loans show that more than 918,000 people around the UK intend to borrow money in order to go under the knife in the pursuit of physical enhancement.

Collectively, these beauty-conscious Britons are set to spend close to £1.4 billion on plastic surgery, with breast augmentation and tummy tucks proving the most popular procedures, Abbey Loans reports.

Paul Morrish, head of Abbey Loans, said: “Whether striving for visible perfection or as part of a medical treatment, plastic surgery is getting more and more popular amongst Britons.

“We are seeing an increase in requests to borrow for plastic surgery [and] we’d be more than happy to speak to anyone who is seriously considering cosmetic procedures.”

Abbey has been part of the Santander Group since 2004 and is aiming to become the “best bank in the UK”, according to its own website.
