Facelift clinic feels the pinch as clients cut back on vanity

2009, The Times

A renowned cosmetic surgery clinic faces closure because people cannot afford vanity treatments during the credit crunch.

Mr Erian, who stayed on as medical director in Cambridge, blamed the economic downturn for the situation. He said: "I've been a plastic surgeon for 30 years and I've noticed people cannot afford big surgery any more. It is a luxury item, so they are putting that on hold and having small things like Botox. I thing that is what has happened here, because it used to be a profitable hospital. It's sad to see it go through a hard time because it is a fantastic unit and is known all over the world. Of course, it is worst for the staff."

Is liposuction for suckers?

2003, Looks Magazine

Anyone who regularly reads newspapers and magazines will have noticed the recent splurge of ads for Liposuction, Liposculpture, Spot Fat Removal and other procedures that promise to transform you from a size 14 to a size 8. They all mean much the same thing - the removal of fat deposits - and many of us are buying into the "miracle" cure.

It's no wonder the cosmetic surgery industry is booming like never before. This year has seen a significant increase in the number of women opting for cosmetic surgery. Doctor Jane Ogden, a lecturer in health psychology at London University and author of the book Fat Chance (which looks at why women are obsessed with their bodies) believes the new waif models have put us under huge pressure to be thin.

Drastic Plastic

2002, Look Magazine

Dr Anthony Erian, one of this country's leading surgeons, says: "Cosmetic surgery is a serious business, you have to respect a patient's wishes but advise them properly at the same time. Not everyone is suitable for surgery, they might be blaming their physical defect for other problems in their lives which are completely unrelated.

I've met people who've believed that surgery would bring back an ex-lover or help them get a terrific job, which of course it won't. The person underneath the skin will still be there no matter what you do to them. I turn down around 20% of the people I see. When this happens I either talk them out of wanting surgery myself, or refer them to a psychiatrist if their hang-up is bad."

which is also suitable for Lipotransfer

Cosmetic Surgery "not just for rich"

1996, Cambridge Evening News

Nearly all cosmetic surgery in Britain is carried out privately, although occassionally there may be grounds for NHS treatment, sometimes at a private hospital. Children with protruding ears, for example, may come into this category, as may adults with sagging upper eyelids interfering with vision.

In the Cambridge area, you can now choose between having your operation carried out by NHS consultants at private hospitals or by a surgeon doing private work only at a private hospital.

Not perfect enough.
How beauty addiction creates junkies for cosmetic surgery

1992, Daily Express

Cosmetic junkies are people - not always women - obsessed by cosmetic surgery. Their search for perfection is never ending. Many cosmetic junkies develop their obsession after bad surgery.

They begin with a legitimate reason to feel that their lives have been destroyed by the surgery and eventually the trauma of coping with a botched operation becomes a lifelong obsession in itself. But an increasing number of cosmetic junkies undergo perfectly satisfactory surgery for some self-perceived blemish and remain unhappy.

Guess who had the £2,500 facelift. And who did it with make-up for £95

1992, Today Magazine

Fiona Meiklejohn hated the signs of ageing that were starting to show on her face. So she did what an increasing number of British women are now doing - she had cosmetic surgery.

How I built myself a brand new body for the price of family car

1991, Today Magazine

Bob Corse never liked his nose. Or his thin lips. Or his weak chin. So he had them "done". Then age and gravity got a hold of his hooded eyes, his sagging chin and turkey neck - so he had them done too.

Now, 15 years after first going under the cosmetic surgeon's knife, Bob is 53 and moving on to other parts of his body.
