<p>There has been a rise in the number of Britons going under the knife to improve their appearance, figures suggest.</p>
<p>Data from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) shows 38,274 surgical procedures were carried out in 2010 &#8211; up 5% on figures for 2009.</p>
<p>One of the biggest rises was for breast reduction in men &#8211; to get rid of so-called &#8220;man boobs&#8221; &#8211; with 741 operations in 2010, up 28% on the previous year.</p>
<p>Top of the list for total number of operations in men was nose jobs, accounting for 993 operations, up 13% on the previous year.</p>
<p>Eyelid surgery made up 652 procedures (up 6%), while ear correction accounted for 496 (down 27%). There were 473 liposuction operations (up 5%) and 263 for neck and/or face lifts (up 11%) in men. Brow lifts also rose in popularity, to 123 procedures (up 13% on 2009).</p>
<p>Overall, women had 90% of cosmetic procedures in 2010, with breast enhancements being the most popular (9,418 procedures, up 10% on 2009).</p>
<p>Eyelid surgery accounted for 5,127 procedures (up 7%), while face and/or neck lifts were the third most popular (4,493, up 12%). Nose jobs accounted for 3,214 procedures (up 9%), tummy tucks for 3,039 (down 7%) and liposuction for 2,896 (down 4%).</p>
<p>The figures represent operations carried out by BAAPS members, who make up about 40% of cosmetic surgeons in the UK.</p>
<p>Fazel Fatah, consultant plastic surgeon and president of the BAAPS, said: &#8220;Procedures showing the more considerable rise during this period seem to be, perhaps not surprisingly, concentrated on the most visible areas of the body &#8211; facelifts, breasts and nose jobs. Surgeries that decreased in popularity were for the areas which could potentially be &#8216;hidden&#8217; or disguised by fashion and hairstyles, such as tummy tucks and pinning back prominent ears.&#8221;</p>
<p>BAAPS is a not-for-profit organisation based at the Royal College of Surgeons.</p>
