Brits becoming more interested in cosmetic surgery than Americans

Brits becoming more interested in cosmetic surgery than Americans - Plastic surgery use to be solely for the rich and famous in Hollywood. Now, however, it’s clearly available to everyone – and the people who are most interested in going under the knife are actually British. https://www.belvedereclinic.co.uk/blog/2018/11/23/brits-becoming-more-interested-in-cosmetic-surgery-than-americans/

Celebrities who have been open about their plastic surgery

WE ALWAYS FIND IT REFRESHING WHEN CELEBRITIES ARE OPEN ABOUT THEIR CHOICE TO HAVE PLASTIC SURGERY. SO, WE THOUGHT WE WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT SOME CELEBS THAT HAVE BEEN OPEN ABOUT THE TREATMENTS THEY HAVE HAD:

Britney Spears

The princess of pop has no problem admitting she has lip injections, and don’t they look great?

Tyra Banks

The America’s Next Top Model host admitted to having a nose job. She said she does not feel comfortable when females who are naturally beautiful judge people who get surgery or take steps to enhance their appearance.

Kelly Rowland

The Destiny’s Child star wanted to get breast implants from the age of 18. However, she was advised by Beyonce’s mum and her own mum to really consider it first. She did exactly that, and 10 years later she went ahead with the procedure.

Kris Jenner

There’s nothing like a wedding for a bit of pampering, right? Kris Jenner certainly thinks so. The famous mum had a facelift before her daughter Kim’s second wedding.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Having already had facial fillers, Gwyneth Paltrow shared her views on plastic surgery with Harper’s Bazaar, stating that she would be willing to try anything.

Chrissy Teigen

Known as being open and honest, especially on social media, it probably comes as no surprise that Chrissy Teigen has spoken about her plastic surgery. The supermodel admitted to having armpit liposuction done.

Lisa Kudrow

Better known as Phoebe from Friends, Lisa had rhinoplasty when she was 16 years old. She said the procedure was life-changing, describing it as a “good, good, good change.”

Kourtney Kardashian

Finally, the oldest Kardashian sister has had breast implants. In 2010, she said it’s not a secret and she couldn’t care less. We love her attitude!

So there you have it: some celebs that have had plastic surgery and been open about it. Were you surprised to see any of the celebs on this list? If you are interested in any type of plastic or cosmetic surgery, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the Belvedere Clinic.

Is Iggy Azalea about to open up about more plastic surgery?

IT WAS JUST THREE YEARS AGO WHEN IGGY AZALEA FIRST SPOKE ABOUT HAVING PLASTIC SURGERY – AT THE SAME TIME INSISTING THAT SHE WASN’T INTO ‘SECRET-KEEPING’.

During a revealing interview with Vogue in 2015, she spoke freely about the breast augmentation she’d had earlier in the year. She told the publication:

“I did change something: Four months ago, I got bigger boobs! I’d thought about it my entire life.” Adding that she was happy to let the world know after initially keeping it on the down-low, she continued: “But then, I decided I wasn’t into secret-keeping.”

So, does this mean Iggy’s next big confession is right around the corner? According to leading plastic surgeons in the US, the rapper is likely to have had another series of operations to alter and improve her appearance. This comes after she shared a selfie with her millions of fans on Instagram. Upon seeing the image, Dr. Daniel Barrett told HollywoodLife: “Iggy Azalea has been open about her breast augmentation procedure, however, it appears there is a lot more to her plastic surgery procedures.”

The medical professional – in awe of Iggy’s stunning new appearance – then added: “Recent photos show fuller lips, heightened brows and a sculpted face. Her jawline appears slimmer and her nose smaller.” He then went on to speculate that the starlet had undergone a series of lifts and fillers.

Of course, Iggy might just be waiting for the right platform to reveal what she’s had done. After all, this was certainly the case when she opened up about having a nose job – and in the process sent a powerful message to young girls – during an interview with Seventeen magazine in 2015. She told the publication: “I’m not denying it. Denying it is lame. I don’t think you should be ashamed if you made a change to yourself, which is why I’ve spoken about the changes I’ve made, like with my breasts.”

Has Iggy inspired you?

While you wait anxiously for Iggy to talk about the procedures that she’s had done, it could be a great opportunity for you to look into plastic surgery for yourself. If there’s a cosmetic treatment you’re interested in, be sure to get in touch with Belvedere.

One in four adults considering plastic surgery in the next 12 months

THERE LOOKS SET TO BE A SUDDEN RUSH FOR PLASTIC SURGERY PROCEDURES IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS.

This is following a survey in which RealSelf determined that more than a quarter of adults are now considering a form of cosmetic treatment in the next year. According to the findings, 24% of those quizzed in a survey admitted that they were contemplating a surgical procedure in the near future. Meanwhile, 34% were open to the idea of a non-surgical procedure.

When RealSelf broke down their findings into demographics, the team discovered that it’s the younger generation who are most willing to go under the knife. In fact, adults below the age of 45 were found to be more than twice as likely to undergo some form of treatment over the course of the next 365 days.

Dr. Lara Devgan, Chief Medical Officer at RealSelf, said that the findings are part of a larger trend in which those below the age of 45 are happier to explore any measures which will reverse the signs of ageing. She explained: “For millennials in particular, cosmetic treatments have become part of a larger self-care routine. Just as they are more aware of skin health and the importance of sunscreen, they too are open to exploring treatments that reverse signs of ageing or optimise facial features.”

She added: “In many ways, younger adults are shifting the way society views cosmetic procedures – they are more open to the idea that beauty is individualised and customisable, and that cosmetic interventions represent their personal choices about their own bodies for their own confidence.”

So what are the most preferred surgical procedures amongst those quizzed in the survey? The ever-populartummy tuck topped the list with 32% of people listing it as their desired operation. Liposuction came in a close second, with 26% of people admitting it was on their mind. The top five was rounded off with eyelid surgery, neck lifts and boob jobs.

Where do you fall?

It’s more than possible that you’re one of the many people who are quickly coming around to the idea of plastic surgery. If this is the case, then don’t wait to find out all the information you need by getting in touch with Belvedere today.

Cardi B outlines plans for liposuction

THERE ARE SOME CELEBRITIES WHO LIKE TO KEEP HUSH ABOUT THEIR PLANS FOR PLASTIC SURGERY – AND THEN THERE IS CARDI B.

The famously outspoken rapper has just reminded her fans that she’s a big fan of going under the knife in a new video shared on Instagram. In the clip, Cardi – real name Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar – outlines that she’s now set her sights on undergoing liposuction. The 25-year-old revealed that she’s interested in the procedure because she’s used to having ‘a real tight stomach’.

In the video, Cardi said: “I still got, like, a lot of love handles right here. They’re not much, but it’s, like, you know, I’m used to having, like, a real tight stomach.” She then added: “But it’s like I might just get a little lipo.”

According to the singer, liposuction is the answer that she’s been looking for because it means she can get her stomach ‘back how it used to be’ while still juggling her busy lifestyle. Cardi continued: “I feel like I can work out and my stomach will be back how it used to be. But I really don’t have time to work out. I never been the type to work out. I never stepped a foot in the gym.”

This isn’t the first instance where Cardi has spoken freely in favour of cosmetic surgery. In fact, the singer – who’s had lip fillers to her achieve her stunning pout – previously revealed that she’d had a boob job to enhance her assets. This operation, Cardi once admitted, came after years of disliking her breasts. Speaking candidly about her new 34DD chest, Cardi once told VladTV that she was ‘never comfortable with [her] boobs’ before the operation. She’s since hinted that she’ll have the cosmetic procedure again in future.

Will you follow Cardi’s lead?

Cardi B’s openness could very well inspire other people to take advantage of the plastic surgery procedures on offer to them. If you’re amongst these people, you should know that you can get all the information you need – whether it’s on liposuction or another treatment – by getting in touch with Belvedere.

The Belvedere Clinic explore 5 things you need to know before having a boob job

BREAST ENLARGEMENT IS NOW THE MOST COMMON COSMETIC SURGERY PROCEDURE CARRIED OUT IN THE UK.

Women can easily get their desired shape and size of breasts, something that was not always achievable decades ago. If you are considering having breast enlargement surgery, then you need to be aware of the facts and realities of having this procedure.

BELOW WE EXPLORE 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE HAVING A BOOB JOB.

1. They will feel like normal breasts

Many women worry about what their breasts will feel like after surgery. The good news is that although they will feel slightly heavier, due to the implant, they will feel like natural breasts.

2. Test the new implant

You can now try your new implant before you go ahead with surgery. Many clinics now offer breast augmentation computer software that shows you exactly what your new breasts will look like. You’ll also be able to hold and feel the implant, with many clinics providing special bras.

3. Set realistic goals

You may have always dreamed of having a double E cup, but is this the right choice for you? You need to set realistic goals and discuss all options with your cosmetic surgeon. Your chosen breast size needs to work with your body shape, weight and with any health issues.

4. Do your homework, not every cosmetic surgeon is the same

We can’t stress this point enough. Always do your homework when searching for a cosmetic surgeon to perform breast enlargement surgery. Do your research, check out their qualifications and ask for examples of previous work. A respected and trusted clinic will always show your their work and credentials.

5. Breast enlargement and breastfeeding

This is a real concern for women who wish to breastfeed their baby. This very much depends upon where the incision is made, but this can be discussed with your surgeon. Incisions made under the arm and ‘crease’ incisions usually make breastfeeding possible. Incisions near the nipple are more problematic.

To find out more about breast enlargement surgery with the team at Belvedere Clinic, then please do get in touch with us today.

People urged to consult with plastic surgeons rather than watch videos online

There are many people who just know that they want to have cosmetic surgery. Then, of course, there are those who are still contemplating the idea of going under the knife. Whichever category a person falls into,

A LEADING PLASTIC SURGEON IS NOW ADVISING YOU TO STEER CLEAR OF ONLINE VIDEOS AND INSTEAD GET ALL THE FACTS YOU NEED FROM THE PROFESSIONALS.

Dr. Boris Paskhover, who works for Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark, believes too many of his patients are being influenced by the misleading videos available on sites like YouTube. He’s now urging anyone who’s watched these clips to consult an actual surgeon rather than make their mind up solely on what they’ve seen online. He told Reuters Health: “I tell my patients that 50% of what’s online – YouTube or otherwise – is wrong, and 49% is correct but completely irrelevant to your particular situation.”

Dr. Paskhover wanted to be clear that he isn’t deterring patients from reading up on the procedure they’re interested in, but more so wanted to ensure that all patients eventually found out the full facts by getting in touch with a qualified plastic surgeon. He added: “By all means, educate yourself, but what’s on your monitor shouldn’t take on the power of authority. When it comes down to it, have a great relationship with your doctor and let your doctor guide your care.”

The advice comes in light of the growing number of videos showing cosmetic surgery on YouTube. While these videos are easy to find, they might give a person the wrong idea about an operation – whether for better or worse – when they’re in the process of making up their mind about whether it’s for them. It seems that millions are falling into this trap, with the top 10 YouTube results for ‘nose job’ currently totalling more than 56m views.

Get the facts

If you’re weighing up whether to have plastic surgery, you can find out all the information you need by Booking a consultation with the Belvedere Clinic. You’ll then be able to make a more enlightened decision before choosing to undergo your dream procedure.

The CBB 2018 line-up is very pro-cosmetic surgery

CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER VIEWERS ARE ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR WHICH CONTESTANTS HAVE HAD PLASTIC SURGERY BEFORE ENTERING THE HOUSE.

This year most the line-up – aside from Rodrigo Alves – has stayed hush on their own experience of cosmetic surgery before joining the show. This, however, doesn’t mean that they’re against going under the knife. Instead, many of the stars have previously spoken out in support of cosmetic surgery.

For instance, take Gabby Allen. The reality star shot to stardom after appearing on Love Island in 2017 – before later admitting that she was eyeing up a boob job after the show ended. According to Gabby, she’s always had her heart set on a breast augmentation because she believes it will give her more confidence. Speaking candidly about the prospect of undergoing the procedure, she once told The Daily Star: “I’m the only girl in my whole family that doesn’t have big boobs, they kind of just missed me out. I think it would give me more confidence if I had them.”

Meanwhile, Chloe Ayling has previously been happy to throw her support behind anyone who’s made the decision to go under the knife. In particular, she backed her pal Megan Barton Hanson after she was criticised for having surgery before appearing on Love Island in 2018. Speaking about her friend’s performance on the show, Chloe told Lorraine: “She is one of the good looking girls in there, because of that people try and tear her down like on how much she spends on plastic surgery. Like why does that matter. It’s just jealousy really.”

In addition, Sally Morgan is no stranger to improving her appearance with a little help. The famous psychic, 66 achieved her figure with the help of weight loss surgery – and she’s also been happy to discuss this in the past.

Where do you stand?

Celebrity Big Brother is just another example of how accepting people have become of cosmetic surgery. If you’re thinking of getting a piece of the action and have a procedure in mind, don’t hesitate to find out more information by getting in touch with the experts at Belvedere.

Men are now embracing the idea of getting a facelift

Women have long been the biggest fans of cosmetic surgery. This, of course, is why breast enlargements tend to reign supreme as the number one requested procedure in the world. However, there’s no doubt that men are also coming round to the idea of going under the knife. It’s not their figures that they’re concerned with though, but their faces.

ACCORDING TO A LEADING PLASTIC SURGEON, MORE AND MORE MEN ARE OPTING TO SHAVE OFF THE YEARS WITH THE HELP OF A FACELIFT.

These men – who tend to be around 40-years-old – are bypassing less invasive procedures as they suddenly decide turn back the clock when they hit middle age. Surgeon Dr Foued Hamza believes that men are coming to this decision at a very good time in their lives. He told GQ: “Around 40 is a great time to think about having a facelift.”

The medical expert also told the publication that the majority of his patients fall into three categories in terms of how they’ve come to decide upon having a facelift. He explained: “One, they have specific concerns about their face that the surgeon can see. Two, they are motivated to have the surgery for themselves, not because they are pressured by a partner. Three, they have realistic expectations about the impact of the change in their appearance on their lives.”

This trend of men embracing cosmetic surgery is something that’s been growing over the past few years. While women still make up roughly 92% of cosmetic procedures, the number of men going under the knife actually rose by an incredible 3% in 2016 alone. This is according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, whose data found that 1.3million procedures were carried out on men in 2016. This figure encompasses facelifts, as well as other treatments – such as liposuction and nose jobs.

Is a facelift on your mind?

If you’re a man who’s suddenly starting thinking about getting a facelift, just know that you’re not alone. Now could be an opportune time for you to find out more information on the procedure – plus any others that might interest you – by getting in touch with Belvedere.

Natural-looking breast implants are becoming very popular

Breast implants have long been associated with the likes of Katie Price and Pamela Anderson. While these two ladies have fabulous physiques, it’s not necessarily the route that every woman would choose to go down – nor does it have to be!

PLASTIC SURGEONS ARE NOW NOTICING A PATTERN WHERE WOMEN ARE STILL OPTING FOR A BREAST ENLARGEMENT, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME CHOOSING A MORE NATURAL-LOOKING PROFILE.

This is certainly the conclusion of celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Tze Ip, who’s been happy to welcome a whole new wave of women onto the operating table. These patients are eager to have more shapelier breasts, usually a B or C cup. Dr. Ip recently told Mail Online: “Women, for the most part, are no longer interested in huge, in-your-face, over the top boobs. They want something natural looking and proportionate to their body. I would say my most requested is a B to C cup, depending on the patient.”

The surgeon added: “Trends come and go, but recently I have been doing more reductions and getting requests for small to medium size breasts that give patients just a little cleavage.”

So where has the preference for more natural-looking breast implants come from? According to Dr. Ip, it’s down to changes in fashion. He explained: “Patients want breast implants to be able to wear certain clothes like swimsuits and nice dresses that would look better without a bra.”

If you’re interested in discovering who is behind these more natural boob jobs, look no further than millennials. This is according to a survey carried out by Transform, which recently determined that 18 to 24-year-olds are choosing breast sizes 7% smaller than women aged 43 to 48. The report – in which 20,000 women were surveyed – also found that the average age of women undergoing breast enlargements is 30.

Do you want bigger breasts?

Just because you choose to have breast enlargement surgery doesn’t mean that your chest has to look enormous afterwards. Instead, you can be the proud owner of stunning natural-looking breasts that complement your outfits. Whether you’d like to see a modest increase in your bra size, or something a little larger, get in touch with Belvedere.

Love Island viewers have started considering plastic surgery

LOVE ISLAND IS OFFICIALLY THE HOTTEST SHOW ON TELEVISION.

IT’S NOT JUST THE PROSPECT OF WATCHING TRUE LOVE IN ACTION THAT’S LURED IN VIEWERS, BUT ALSO THE BEAUTIFUL FACES AND CHISELLED BODIES OF THE CONTESTANTS.

As a result, this has led fans to consider going under the knife in an effort to improve their own appearance and live up to the stunners they see on the programme.

According to a new survey carried out by YouGov, 8% of female viewers are now open to the idea of a breast enhancement. Meanwhile, the same percentage admitted that they would consider some sort of anti-wrinkle treatment in an effort to capture the same youthful complexions routinely seen on Love Island. A further 7% now have one eye on the possibility of undergoing liposuction to finally achieve their desired figure.

These three procedures weren’t the only ones that were on people’s minds after watching the likes of Dani and Jack find love in the villa. Instead, lip fillers also ranked quite highly on the list of cosmetic procedures that viewers were thinking about getting. The treatment – in which the lips are made to look plumper and shapelier – has captured the imagination of 11% of those who regularly sit down to watch Love Island.

It might come as no surprise to learn that the contestants themselves have also come round to the idea of altering their appearance following their stint on the hit reality show. In particular, Laura Anderson recently underwent a number of cosmetic procedures – including cheek fillers and a rhinoplasty. The clinic that performed the operations broke the news, telling The Sun: “We think it has genuinely taken years off her, even though she was absolutely stunning to begin with. It’s been an honour working with a truly genuine, and lovely person inside and out.”

Are you a fan of Love Island?

If you’ve been glued to Love Island this summer, then you might be one of the many people who are now considering their cosmetic surgery options. If so, you can find out about all your options by getting in touch with Belvedere today.

'Mummy makeovers' linked to spike in plastic surgery

It’s clear that plastic surgery has become a viable option for all age groups and demographics. In particular, studies have shown that both the young and the old – as well as everyone in between – are open to improving their appearance where possible. It turns out there’s another under-reported group of society partaking in their fair share of cosmetic surgery: mothers.

ACCORDING TO NEW RESEARCH, ‘MUMMY MAKEOVERS’ ARE A REAL THING – AND THEY’RE PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPIKE WE’RE SEEING IN PLASTIC SURGERY.

The term ‘mummy makeover’ is being used to describe new mums who turn to going under the knife after giving birth. This is largely down to the impact that pregnancy has had on their bodies, including weight gain and sagging breasts. There are, however, also those people using plastic surgery as a mental boost as they adjust to the demands of motherhood.

Richard Baxter, a plastic surgeon from Seattle, Washington, revealed that the trend has certainly become more prominent over recent years. He told Allure: “We’ve definitely seen an uptick in mummy makeover-type procedures. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that most new moms are millennials, and they tend to be more accepting of the idea [of plastic surgery].”

Meanwhile, it’s been found that the age group most eager to undergo a ‘mummy makeover’ is those aged 25 to 34. The findings were discovered by RealSelf, who suggested it’s further proof that millennials are typically more accepting of sugically altering their appearance than previous generations before them.

Interestingly, men have also been found to embrace plastic surgery after becoming fathers. While with women this decision is generally because they want to return to their pre-pregnancy bodies, dads are interested in cosmetic surgery as a means of recapturing their youth or making strides in their career. Last year the American Society for Plastic Surgery reported that young men undergoing cosmetic procedures has shot up by 325% since 1997 as a result.

Are you a new mum?

If you’ve recently welcomed a little bundle of joy and are considering plastic surgery for the first time, then you should know that you’re not alone. As you make your decision, don’t hesitate to find out all the information you need by getting in touch with Belvedere.

Over 40s are also considering cosmetic surgery thanks to social media

OVER RECENT YEARS THERE’S BEEN AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF STUDIES LINKING SOCIAL MEDIA TO THE INCREASED NUMBER OF PEOPLE CHOOSING TO HAVE PLASTIC SURGERY.

HOWEVER, IT’S NOW BEEN FOUND THAT IT’S NOT JUST THE YOUNG WHO ARE DRIVEN TO TAKE ACTION THANKS TO THE WORLD WIDE WEB. A NEW SURVEY HAS FOUND THAT THE OVER 40’S ARE ALSO TURNING TO THE OPERATING TABLE THANKS TO WEBSITES LIKE FACEBOOK.

Ceatus Media Group, a digital marketing and reputation management agency, recently released a report through their health portal called the Consumer Guide to Plastic Surgery. It has found that 73% of social media users admit to feeling ‘self-conscious’ when observing their selfies online – even if they’ve uploaded the snaps themselves. Of these, 60% said they would consider a cosmetic procedure because of how they appear in photos.

Arguably, the most surprising part of the study is that the majority of people who are now considering plastic surgery are aged 41 or above. This generation – who have been found to favour platforms like Facebook and Instagram over ones like Snapchat and Twitter – are now keen to brave the waters of cosmetic surgery thanks to social media.

This has been linked to the popularity of photo-editing software, which allows users to experiment with how their skin tone, texture and wrinkles appear to the outside world. Of those questioned in the survey, 67% admitted to modifying their pictures before sharing them with their friends and family online.

Ceatus CEO Dr. David Evans said: “These first-of-their-kind findings are really eye opening. Our results suggest that these photo-editing tools may serve as a bridge between selfies and plastic surgery.”

Millennials – the name given to those who became adults following the year 2000 – have previously had their plastic surgery habits linked with social media. In particular, their preference for using filters was said to have a huge impact on their decision to choose surgery as a more permanent solution to their insecurities.

Thigh and buttock lift - what you need to know.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A THIGH AND BUTTOCK LIFT IS A COSMETIC SURGERY PROCEDURE THAT LIFTS THE THIGH AND/OR BUTTOCK AREA, WHICH THEN HELPS TO PROVIDE A TIGHTER AND FIRMER LOOK.

Below we explore everything you need to know about having a thigh and buttock lift.

WHY HAVE A THIGH AND BUTTOCK LIFT SURGERY?

Women choose to have this cosmetic surgery for a variety of reasons. They may be self conscious about their lower body and choose not to wear shorts or tight jeans. They may have lost weight and as a result the skin has lost its elasticity. The skin in that area may also have started to sag, or the skin may have a dimpled effect. All of these are reasons to consider a thigh and buttock lift.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THIS PROCEDURE?

This procedures should last no longer than two hours, and is carried out under general anaesthetic. This is usually as a day case. Incisions to either the thigh or buttocks will be made, depending on the area that has loose skin and which needs to be lifted. Inner thighs generally only need short incisions to the skin, while lifting the thigh and buttocks requires longer incisions. This excess skin is removed, and sometimes liposuction is also used to suck out any excess fat. The area of skin is then sutured.

WHAT HAPPENS POST OPERATIVE RECOVERY?

It will take between 6 to 8 weeks to make a full recovery. You will be able to go home following the procedures, once you have been given care at home instructions, have eaten and drank, and passed urine. You will feel some discomfort for the first few days following surgery, but the tightened and lifted area should not feel painful. You may also be requested to wear a compression bandage to aid the healing process and to avoid swelling. You should avoid heavy lifting for at least six weeks.

ARE THE RESULTS LONG LASTING?

This procedure does have long lasting effects, as long as you do not gain or lose lots of weight. It’s also important to remember that the entire body changes as we age, including our thighs and buttocks.

The Transformation of Love Island's Megan Barton-Hanson

AS IT DRAWS INTO ITS LAST FULL WEEK, LOVE ISLAND HAS FILLED ALL OUR SCREENS ONCE AGAIN THIS SUMMER.

AND, LOVE OR LOATHE THE LADY, ONE OF THE MOST TALKED ABOUT CONTESTANTS IS THE BEAUTIFUL MEGAN BARTON-HANSON.

From the day she entered the villa, the blonde bombshell was making heads turn, as she talked about her work as a model in the outside world. During her time in Love Island, Megan has had her pick of the boys, but it seems she’s settled on a knight in shining armour in the shape of, the also gorgeous, Wes Nelson.

Recently though, photos of what are apparently the ‘old Megan’, pre-Love Island and pre-cosmetic surgery, have surfaced and caused quite a stir. The questions on everyone’s lips are, how does she look so different and what exactly has she had done?

Megan is an example of just how transformative cosmetic surgery can be. She may have had quite a few procedures judging by the before and after photos circulating online, but nothing has been too overdone. Her procedures, which apparently have been done over a number of years, include: breast augmentation,rhinoplasty, lip fillers, facial fillers in her cheeks and dental veneers.

It’s no secret that examples of celebrity cosmetic surgery, seen all over the media, can influence especially young people. So here at Belvedere, we’re definitely not big advocates of making yourself unrecognisable.

However, we are advocates of doing your research, making sure procedures are the right ones for you, and most importantly seeking out a plastic surgeon who is going to help you invest in the best quality, natural looking enhancements that will help you feel healthy, happy and confident in your skin.

If you’ve been thinking of cosmetic work and want to talk in more depth about it, our expert care team are just a phone call or email away. They can book you in for a full, free consultation with one of our surgeons, who are some of the top in the country, with absolutely no obligation at the end. So please feel free to get in touch.
