UK's More! magazine survey reinforces the general acceptance of cosmetic surgery and indicates that it is more desired than ever before. The survey results indicate that 72 per cent of women in the age range from 18 to 30 want to have cosmetic surgery, and almost half activley planning for cosmetic surgery in near future.
Some have argued that these results are shocking, however, the findings are consistent with the overall trend in developed societies such as Australia that is acceptable to look good through cosmetic surgery. It is no surprise that young women want to look good but it is interesting the high percentages for certain procedures with breast enhancements (36 per cent), liposuction (34 per cent), nose jobs (14 per cent), breast reductions (6 per cent) and tummy tucks (6 per cent) being the most sort after cosmetic procedures.
These numbers are down to choice. Given the changing societal, medical and economic factors, young women have a greater choice than ever and many are opting for plastic and cosmetic surgery. It is seen as a right now with more than 60% think that they have a right to a cosmetic surgery procedure. The survey was conducted in the UK, but the parellels for Australia are clear. The women are aware of the cost and are willing to pay. Over 50% are willing to pay more than 2000 pounds and more than a third would be willing to take out a loan or borrow from friends and family.
We have been suggesting for a while that Cosmetic surgery has lost its stigma. The results also confirm this thesis. Only 31% would keep their procedure a secret and most (over 50%) know that the results are visible and too obvious to hide.

Burt Reynolds no to Facelift
Burt Reynolds, the star of Smokey and Bandit, Boogey Nights and Deliverance, has been under the microscope lately. With the 75 year old being in the news for his heart bypass surgery last year and a lawsuit to foreclose on his Florida house, there has been a new focus on the actor. Some have noticed his particularly smooth skin and speculated that he has had a facelift.
Reynolds has denied having a facelift and we believe him. He says that he has inherited great skin from his father and we all know that good genetics is a great way to stay looking good. He has disclosed his eye surgery and said that he would have no problem admitting if he had a facelift.
The actor tells Britain's OK! magazine, "I was never lifted. I would not have a problem with the truth, but I inherited my smooth skin from my father. In the mid '80s, after some fights in a film, I had to have my eyes done. For one, I almost went blind because I got black powder in my eye. Also, I had terrible sacks under my eyes from the many fistfights. My eyes were not in form anymore. I had that corrected."

Australian born, Darryn Lyons has flaunted his cosmetic surgically enhanced set of abs on the UK version of Big Brother television series. He was open about being surgically enhanced and that his body sculpting was part of an overall fitness program. He wanted the six-pack look and got it.
"I had to get really fit and lose a fair bit of weight. It takes away all the fat around it and actually lets your natural abs be there. Basically it's the male version of a boob job," Lyons told Doherty.
Male body sculpting is a form of targeted liposuction and is used to help get that washer board stomach look.

Cosmetic surgery has historically been controversial. Recently, acceptance levels are high amongst the general population of cosmetic surgery procedures. In the past week, actresses, including Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz (VICE) and Emma Thompson, have formed a group called the "British Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League".
The Titanic actress says that she will never give in to the pressure for plastic surgery. That it is against her morals.
