The UK's most popular plastic surgery

Figures released this week by The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons have revealed the UK's most popular plastic surgery procedures. As our infographic shows, among women, breast augmentation (enlargement) was carried out the most often, with 7,727 people going ahead with the surgery. The second most common for women is the opposite - breat reduction, at 4.014 times. The number of men going under the surgeon's knife is a lot lower than their female counterparts, but there were still 571 that had a 'nose job' and 412 that underwent an otoplasty procedure, fixing a perceived issue with the appearance of their ears.
