Cosmetic surgery 'popularity declines'

The popularity of cosmetic surgery in the UK plummeted in 2014, figures show, reports BBC.

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (Baaps) said there had been 45,406 surgical procedures last year - down 9% from 50,122 in 2013.

Breast implants and nose jobs led the decline with operations falling by nearly a quarter.

The industry has been under intense scrutiny since a breast implant scandal and there have been calls for new rules on doctors offering surgery.
