Women shun credit crunch to go under the knife
31 October 2008
The credit crunch has done little to stop a rapid increase in the number of people having cosmetic surgery to make themselves feel more attractive.

Figures show there has been a 135 per cent increase in the number of women boosting their assets in the past year.
A study from cosmetic surgery provider Surgicare showed that September's figures did not reflect a credit crunch attitude as instead of tightening their belts, there has been a rise in the number of people splashing their cash to go under the knife.
Breast enlargements remain the most popular form of cosmetic surgery as women try and feel better about themselves.
Mark bury, chief executive at SurgiCare, said: "Perhaps women are having breast enhancements to cheer themselves up as a result of the general depression gripping the UK at the moment, or maybe their appearance and self confidence takes precedence over their annual holiday or new car. Looking good is a physical defence in hard times."
