Last year was another huge year for cosmetic surgery in the UK, with the number of procedures carried out rising 31% from 2005. In total there were 29,921 cosmetic surgery operations, with breast enlargement making up more than 20% of them.

Contrary to popular belief, liposuction is not used to manage obesity, but to make minor shape changes to people near their ideal weight.
