There is also pressure in the workplace to keep looking good to either stay in the top jobs or boost your career. Many people are opting for cosmetic surgery as it is perceived as an investment in their future. Cosmetic surgery is also advertised freely across all media in most countries. It is very accessible nd without having to have a referral from your family Doctor. As the numbers of cosmetic surgery procedures rises each year , so do the numbers of Patients that are referred by others who have had surgery. It is now socially acceptable to discuss and show off what you have had done. This open attitude to cosmetic surgery has fuelled demand even further.
