What cosmetic surgery/treatments would you pay for?

26 January 2016

The cosmetic surgery industry is now big business, worth over £3 billion in the UK alone and it's starting to increase its advertising. So what surgery would you consider or have you had done? (Of course, some cosmetic surgery is a medical necessity, paid for by the NHS or insurance, so we’re not talking about that.)

Please select each time you have or would consider the treatment under the relevant category (PS, thanks to our Facebook users for suggesting options.)
