Botox isn’t just a way to banish those wrinkles – it has a myriad of other uses too. One such use is in helping certain types of female incontinence, and excessive sweating.

Many people are born with birthmarks and these birthmarks can vary in size, colour and location. Birthmarks are generally described as a mark on the skin that is unique to the individual that does not quickly disappear.

The over-50s are living life to the full – with many having canny investments behind them, they have plenty of free cash to splash in the UK and it comes as little surprise that many of these affluent over-50s want to spend a little money on their appearance.

Upper arms can be prone to drooping or sagging thanks to a number of factors including fluctuations in weight, genetics and getting older.

Buttock augmentation, more commonly known as ‘butt implants’ is a surgical procedure where artificial implants are put into the buttocks to enhance their size and/or shape. Buttock implants have increased in popularity over recent years thanks to several Hollywood stars such as Jennifer Lopez celebrating their curvy behinds. Having implants allows the patient to get a larger, more shapely bottom.
Cosmetic surgery holidays are increasing in popularity – not only are the cosmetic surgery procedures often cheaper, but patients have the chance to recuperate before showing off the results to friends and family on their return home.

A school in China has sparked controversy after requesting that more than 30 of their students have cosmetic surgery before they graduate. The surgery requested varied from double-fold eyelids through to the removal of moles and breast enlargements.
Reportedly, the school asked the girls to go under the knife to make them more attractive and therefore giving them a better chance of getting a job after graduation – a practice which is not uncommon in Asia – particularly as many of the students wanted to become air hostesses.
