Plastic Surgery and Weddings

Special Occasions Comments (1)

Plastic surgery for members in a wedding party is becoming almost as much a part of the ceremony as rice and old shoes.

Some wedding planners even recommend including a budget for cosmetic plastic surgery for the bride who often opts for:

• Rhinoplasty
• Breast augmentation
• Lip augmentation

 The mother of the bride usually likes:

• A facial nip-tuck
• Injectable facial fillers

With an average U.S. wedding budget of $25,000 to $30,000, who is going to notice a few more dollars to make sure everybody in the wedding pictures look their best?

Wedding pictures are important because they are often handed down for generations in most families.

Now, from England, a new survey of wedding parties reveals that more men are getting into the act, too.

The British Good Surgeon Guide surveyed 1000 engaged couples. About one third said they were thinking about having cosmetic plastic surgery before the Big Day.

The same study showed that about nine percent of the guys had already been under the knife of a cosmetic surgeon.

The women’s’ statistics: 58 percent were considering a pre-nuptial procedure while eleven percent had already undergone cosmetic surgery.

Motivation was little different between the genders, too. Two-thirds of women said cosmetic plastic surgery would cause them to feel better about themselves while three of five grooms-to-be reported they wanted to look good for their new brides.

The same guide to surgeons crunched the numbers from their annual survey of procedures performed in the U.K. to find that men are the most sensitive about the appearance of their ears.

During the last five years, Otoplasty, the surgery to correct protruding ears on adult males has jumped 89 percent.

According to most American plastic surgeons, the biggest mistake made by wedding participants is waiting too long to have the procedures they want. Many don’t take into account the period of time necessary for proper healing.
