    Hi guys,

    I'm a local journalist and I'm hoping to do a feature on plastic surgery. I'm looking for people who would be willing to talk about what procedure they have had done and whether the experience was worth it at the end.
    There are now two clinics offering procedures in the city so there must be a demand for it. If anyone can be of help please let me know, private message me if you want. Thanks a million.

    I'd imagine most plastic surgery is not for cosmetic reasons but rather due to burns or other accidents so maybe not the story your looking for

    actually there is a massive amount of elective cosmetic surgery for enhancement purposes....
    not sure on the stats exactly for non elective vs elective

    From speaking to a local surgeon the numbers seeking enhancements is rising. The surgeon said he see's thirty people a month in Waterford, which means the figure is higher when you factor in the number of surgeons operating in the city. Breast enhancements are most common with women, surprisingly the opposite is most common for men - a breast reduction!

    I'm surprised the number is that high, specially considering that people don't have as much disposable income as they used to. I do know of quite a lot of women who have had breast implants though, a lot more than I would have thought.

    By the way, sorry to be pedantic but there's no apostrophe in "sees". You said you're a journalist and I go insane when I see things like this in the printed press.

    That's exactly why we have proof readers! I'm afraid I don't have one at my disposal for forum posts. :)
    There was a dip in 2007 but figures are back to what they were previous to that and continuing to rise.

    I had my penis extended by 3 feet and also widended by 1 foot.
    I can now happily play snooker without the Q and go golfing without my clubs
    I also had a small job done on my 0-ring so the 1 foot wide can go under and up & in

    I also got 77 double D breasts installed into my chest

    highly recommended

    Shame it wasn't long enough to avoid getting a ban, eh? One of the downsides to the surgery.
