Demand for cosmetic surgery is soaring in the UK with new figures showing the number of people having liposuction rose by 90 per cent last year.
Nose jobs and eyelid surgery are still the most popular procedures and men are increasingly booking themselves in for so-called "moob jobs" to have their breasts reduced.
But the number of people undergoing liposuction has rocketed - prompting experts to warn it is not a solution for obesity.
The operation has jumped from being the eighth most popular cosmetic procedure in 2005 to the third most popular in 2006.
According to today's figures from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), 3,986 liposuctions were carried out last year - up from 2,099 in 2005.
BAAPS, which is based at the Royal College of Surgeons, said other operations - such as breast surgery and nose jobs - had also seen a rise.
