Post-divorce cosmetic surgery package criticized PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 03 October 2006
The decision by a UK based cosmetic surgery group to launch a cosmetic surgery package aimed at newly divorced women has drawn criticism from professional bodies in the UK. The company, Transform Cosmetic Surgery Group, claimed that it was merely responding to an increasing demand for total makeovers following the end of marriages. Its post divorce package combines breast enhancement, liposuction, teeth whitening and Botox therapy.
However the move was criticised by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) which has recently issued guidance to its members to refuse treatment to patients showing signs of emotional distress.

Liz Dale, Marketing Director for Transform commented "With the average divorce age rising to 43, we are seeing more and more women turning to cosmetic enhancement to boost their self-confidence post-divorce.

"The most popular operations with divorcees are breast enhancement and liposuction, followed closely by facial surgery, including eye bag removal. We have also seen a marked increase in the number of women who have just come out of relationships exploring non-surgical procedures, including botox, facial peels and dermal fillers to give them the self-assurance they need to return to the dating game."

However, the professional body representing plastic surgeons in the UK criticised this form of targeting. BAAPS president Douglas McGeorge said: "Targeting newly divorced woman like this is incredibly unsavoury marketing and not the sort of thing we would advocate.

"We say surgeons should not give cosmetic surgery for purely aesthetic reasons to women in the middle of a life crisis.

"Surgery can help to rebuild troubled lives, but women who have divorced should wait until their life is in a state of equilibrium before considering it not rush straight into it.

"Desperate people who try to re-brand themselves through surgery are not necessarily going to feel happier for having it done, and they should think about it long and hard first."
