The Harley Medical Group has reported that, with the wedding season at its peak, there has also been a corresponding significant rise in breast augmentation surgery.
Determined to look perfect on their big day, brides are taking the plunge and
booking in for a boob job for additional confidence on their big day. As a result, breast enlargement is
top of the ops this summer across the Group’s 30 clinics in the UK and Ireland.
Liz Dale, Director, The Harley Medical Group, commented, "The big wedding is certainly in vogue in 2010, so pre-wedding procedures are right back on the agenda, with the lucky couples determined to have a picture perfect record of their special day.
"With the average wedding costing nearly £20,000, patients see cosmetic procedures as a long term investment, with the effects of plastic surgery lasting well beyond the big day itself. The average pre-nup nip budget is around £4,000 and is favoured by those plumping for long engagements - we recommend patients allow a good four to six months recovery time to ensure the best results on their wedding day."
Lisa Littlehales, Nurse Counsellor and Clinic Manager at The Harley Medical Group commented, "The split of brides to grooms having pre-wedding surgery is around 75% to 25%. For women their figure is definitely the focus - it is all about the dress, after all. The men we see are frequently looking to correct a sporting injury, so things like having rhinoplasty on a broken nose."
All patients considering cosmetic surgery should ensure that their surgeon has completed his/her training received his/her qualification as a Plastic Surgeon is registered on the GMC Specialist Register as a Plastic Surgeon and ensure that their first consultation is carried out by a medical professional. All consultations at The Harley Medical Group are carried out by a fully qualified Cosmetic Surgery Nurse Counsellor followed shortly thereafter by a fully qualified and registered Plastic Surgeons. The Harley Medical Group has been established for over 27 years and has 30 clinics in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
