A survey on whether people are planning cosmetic surgery or not has shown that people looking to go under the surgeon’s knife has increased over the last two years.

Back in 2009, we asked our readers whether they were currently planning any cosmetic surgery. The result was a resounding yes with 60 percent saying they had some sort of surgery planned in the near future. This year, we asked our readers again whether they had any sort of cosmetic surgery planned and the results showed that a massive 67 percent of people said yes.

This survey result backs up results from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) who have recently released figures showing an increasing number of people in the UK having surgery.

Although cosmetic surgery used to be a bit of a taboo subject, with more and more celebrities revealing that they have had work done, plastic surgery is becoming more accepted. The rise is also probably fueled by better plastic surgery – gone are the days of very fake ‘plastic’ looking surgery – skilled cosmetic surgeons can now create a more youthful look which also looks natural.
