More and more people in the UK and across the world are opting to undergo cosmetic surgery, in a bid to achieve a more youthful and refreshed look and to hopefully improve their job prospects, in a world increasingly concerned with looks. The employment market is tough at the moment, thanks to the continuing effects of the recession, and those who have found themselves made redundant late on in their career can find it particularly difficult to compete against graduates and thirty-somethings with a few years experience under their belts.
These people are therefore finding ways to look younger so that they compete on what they perceive to be a more level playing field, an attitude that experts have been heard to describe as the "facial resume". In a world where youth is tantamount to high levels of energy, ambition, enthusiasm and success, it makes sense for the older generation to try and even things out, and back up their knowledge, using the latest technological advancements.
Non-surgical treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, and medical microdermabrasions can offer temporary solutions to the problem of ageing skin, brown spots and lines and wrinkles, but face lift surgery, fat removal, and breast reduction and up-lift procedures can offer permanent reversal of the effects of the ageing process. Changing your image using cosmetic surgery makes sense for many people who are looking for ways to look as young as they feel and to boost their confidence before braving the no-holds-barred world of recruitment.
While the attitude that image is everything was once reserved for the rich and famous, it is now filtering quickly down to average people, and as the demand to look more youthful or change your body shape increases, so have the options, both surgical and financial, being offered by UK clinics. Cosmetic surgery experts registered with the Care Quality Commission can be trusted to offer impartial advice and to refuse surgery should they believe that it is not the right option for the patient at that particular time. This is particularly true of liposuction which is not designed to be used as a quick weight loss option for the obese, but is instead aimed at those who have particular areas of fat that are very difficult or impossible to shift by simply adopting a healthy lifestyle.
So, while cosmetic surgery is widely available at registered and reputable clinics across the UK, patients are advised to understand the implications of surgery to change their image before they undergo the procedure.
