ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY TWO FRONT… BOOBS!
 

Knowing what women want and buying the perfect gift for them at Christmas can be notoriously difficult, but thanks to new survey findings, men’s prayers will be answered as 21% of women confess to wanting cosmetic surgery from Santa this year.

In a poll* by Transform Cosmetic Surgery of 1000 women across the country, they admit to being no longer content with the usual fragrances and underwear as their quest for perfection grows more intense.

Topping the tree on the Xmas wish list is Botox (27%), followed by bigger breasts (21%), and a whiter smile (18%). Other procedures that made the top ten included a new nose and even a facelift.

And according to a surge in enquiries by men wanting to treat their loved ones to treatments – up 38% on last year – it would seem that women are now being much more upfront about what they want and men are obeying!

In fact, Transform has now introduced Cosmetic Surgery Gift Vouchers in response to popular demand. Vouchers are available in £25 and £50 denominations.

But it seems that for some women, Christmas is too far away and Transform can reveal a massive 62% increase in women having non-surgical treatments in November compared to the same time last year.

Botox was the number one procedure women treated themselves to as they attempt to banish their turkey necks and crows feet this Christmas.

Those women cited a number of reasons for their cosmetic enhancements, which included bagging the man of their dreams under the mistletoe, angling for a raise at the Xmas party and looking perfect during the busiest social calendar of the year.

Shami Thomas, spokesperson for Transform, comments; “The run up to Christmas is usually a busy period for our clinics but this year we’ve seen it grow dramatically. Women are either treating themselves in advance, in order to look great at their Christmas parties, or requesting it from partners and loved ones for their Christmas presents.

“Cosmetic surgery is no longer taboo and women aren’t afraid to talk about it or indeed ask their partners for it. We’ve never had so many enquiries from men wanting to buy gift vouchers for their partners because they know women want to look and feel their best.”

The Top Ten cosmetic procedures women are hoping for this Xmas are:

• Botox (27%)

• Breast enlargement (21%)

• Teeth Whitening (18%)

• Dermal Fillers (13%)

• Lip Enhancement (9%)

• Liposuction (5%)

• Facial Peel (3%)

• Rhinoplasty (2%)

• Facelift (1%)

• Other (1%)
