Press Release Summary: The number of people opting for private cosmetic surgery to
improve or alter their appearance, excluding botox injections, has risen sharply
over 2007, according to a survey by industry advice group TheCosmeticSurgeon.net.

Press Release Body: Edinburgh, UK, 8 February 2008 ( Express-press-release ) - - The
number of people opting for invasive cosmetic procedures over the course of 2007 has
risen dramatically, according to a study into cosmetic
surgery habits by industry resource TheCosmeticSurgeon.net.

Excluding botox injections, the number of people opting for cosmetic procedures
skyrocketed over 2007, with more and more choosing private surgeries and consultants
to carry out their procedures without fully researching or reading up on their
choice. The news alarmed James Baird, Senior Advisor to TheCosmeticSurgeon.net.

\"Having worked for most of my career with sufferers of burns and horrific injuries,
I find the growing trend of purely cosmetic
plastic surgery both frightening and worrying. This is big business, and there
are many out there practising that simply don\'t have the ability or the
qualifications to do so. I\'m afraid people aren\'t doing their research thoroughly
enough, and that could lead to serious problems along the line for a number of those
undergoing cosmetic work.\"

Whilst cosmetic surgery is widely used in treating accident victims, it is also
becoming more popular for purely aesthetic purposes which the report suggests has
given rise to an undercurrent of unqualified private practitioners, many of whom
have very little experience across the range of operations they are asked to perform
and some who are not adequately qualified to perform such significant surgical
procedures.
