An increasing number of women in the UK are having breast enlargement operations as a direct consequence of female TV and other stars.<\/p>\n
The latest celebrity to have had the operation is Christina Hendricks who is currently starring in the popular TV drama, Mad Men. The actress even has the support of a politician who recently told reporters that Ms Hendrick\u2019s figure is something women should aspire to. She said: \u201cChristina Hendricks is absolutely fabulous. We need more of these role models.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last year saw a dramatic 10% rise in the number of breast augmentation operations with some 9,418 taking place. Overall, there was a rise of 5% of plastic surgery operations \u2013 38,274 in total. Out of this total, 90% were carried out on women.<\/p>\n
When asked about the influence of celebrities such as Christina Hendricks, one cosmetic surgeon said: \u201cThe Christina Hendricks effect is significant. She looks stunning and lots of women want a figure like hers. No one believes any more you have to be stick thin to be beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Figures released by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), revealed the most common operations last year were nose jobs (3,214); tummy tucks (3,039) and liposuctions (2,896).<\/p>\n
The head of BAAPS Fazel Fatah said: \u201cProcedures showing the more considerable rise during this period seem to be, perhaps not surprisingly, concentrated on the most visible areas of the body: facelifts, breasts and nose jobs.<\/p>\n
\u201cSurgeries that decreased in popularity were for the areas which could potentially be ‘hidden’ or disguised by fashion and hairstyles, such as tummy tucks and pinning back prominent ears.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
