London - When it comes to breast implants, more and more British women say that bigger is better and are instructing surgeons to increase their bust by four of more cup sizes in a single operation.
The number of females opting for such “super boob jobs” has doubled in the past three years.
According to the latest figures collated by a leading implant manufacturer, 10 percent of Britons are now asking for the four-cup boost.
In 2010, the figure was just five percent.
But surgeons sometimes face a hard task trying to meet the demands of women – not only do they want bigger breasts, they also want them to look natural rather than opting for the “bolt-on” implants favoured by model Jordan.
Miles Berry, a cosmetic surgeon and author of The Good Boob Bible, said: “Women come in clutching pictures of celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and say they want a similar look. They are emphatic that they don’t want to look like Jordan or Pamela Anderson. Victoria epitomises the more subtle have-I haven’t-I look”.
He added: “Women want bigger, more pert breasts, but they don’t necessarily want people to know they’ve had something done. The majority of my patients are slightly older women who have had babies.”
The British figures are in contrast to those from Asia. In Hong Kong and Japan 80 percent of women paid for a one cup-size increase.
Venezuelan women have the biggest desire for the pneumatic look: 20 percent of them go for an increase of four cup sizes.
Breast augmentation is the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery in the UK, with 9 854 procedures carried out last year alone.
Demand has continued unabated despite the recent PIP scandal, in which the sale of faulty implants caused a global health scare.
The data was collated by implant manufacturer Global Consolidated Aesthetics from 800 000 operations carried out worldwide. - Daily Mail
