UK plastic surgery statistics: breasts up, stomachs in Plastic surgery is big business in the UK - and despite the recession, it's a growing one.

Plastic surgery statistics in the UK show a record number of male 'tummy tuck' operations as the rise in demand outstrips that for all other procedures - including women's breast enlargement. Figures published by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPs) - that really is its acronym - showed abdominoplasty operations grew by 15%, while overall male cosmetic surgery grew by 5.6%.
