BRITS UNHAPPY WITH LOOKS

One in 10 people are considering having plastic surgery, a new report reveals.

And not only do they want to change their looks, they are willing to break the bank to fund the operation.

A survey of almost 2,000 adults by finance giant Abbey showed the most popular operations for women are breast surgery and liposuction.

Men are most likely to want a nose job or a mini facelift.

Women are three times as likely as men to go under the surgeon's knife, although men are prepared to borrow more.

The survey showed that 10% would borrow up to £4,000 to pay for the operation, and one in four said they would happily borrow up to £20,000 without losing any sleep.

People from Wales and the Midlands would borrow most to fund plastic surgery, while the Scots would borrow least.

SURGERY OR AU NATUREL

Jordan has been enhanced

According to a new report one in 10 people are considering going the way of Jordan and having plastic surgery.

The survery also shows that both men and women are willing to splash all their cash on improving their looks by going under the surgeons knife.

Men are most likely to want a nose job or a mini facelift and women are three times as likely as men to go under the surgeon's knife.

Here are some of your views om going under the knife:

I've had numerous surgeries performed, and I plan on having many more. So far I've had 1cc of bovine collagen, penile reshaping and liposuction of the stomach, inner thighs, hips and back. My next surgery will be to elongate my waist. I don't feel this is a waste of money as it helps my self esteem and these days beauty is as important as personality.

Unfortunately we live in a society that craves eternal youth and the body beautiful. Plastic surgery has now become the norm and gives us lesser mortals the promise of looking better and also feeling better about how we are erceived by others.

I happen to like my wife the way she is. She wants plastic surgery and laser eye treatment. I don't know why. Yet again, I am a man, and what do we know about such things?

I feel everyone should be able to make their own decisions, but it should be paid for and not inclusive on the NHS. I think plastic surgery is a ridiculous idea and anyone having it done must be ridiculous as it could so easily go wrong and then they could look worse. If it does it serves them right.

We live in a developing society, if it helps you get what you want or improves your confidence then why not? We only live one life so we had better make the best of it. I am saving it for when I hit the 55 mark, then everything will be pulled north.

Everyone is unhappy with certain aspects of their body. Even the most beautiful people worry. At the end of the day we are what we are. If you are unfortunate to have received injuries or birth defects then going under the knife would be totally understandable.

It is OK if you pay for your own plastic surgery but I object to people getting it on the NHS for pathetic excuses.

As much as I'd like to have bigger boobs and a smaller bum etc, there's no way I'd have surgery. We are all vain, but it's surely better to work with what you've got than to change it. Then at least we all will still look like individuals and not like clones of Pammie and Jordan.

I think I would have a brain transplant.

I totally disagree with cosmetic surgery. It all comes down to the severe social pressures people like celebrities are under each day to have this done. I have modified my body by working out and going to the gym. I agree surgery can change your appearance, but does is improve it? That is the key and it is always perceived to be by the person who has this done. I admit I am quite vain, but I prefer lifting heavy weights and sweating in the gym far more than expensive surgery. Be happy with what you have. Nature intented you to be that way.
Richard, Brighton

I have no qualms about surgery and admit to having had some myself. I agree that it should be paid for privately, though I understand NHS cases where the individual is suffering from depression or impairment. I would consider a facelift in the future but a realistic one - I wouldn't want to look un-natural. Why shouldn't people make themselves look better in their eyes if they want to? I've never really understood why it is the business of anyone but the individual.
