This – the second part of an article examining the top 10 cosmetic surgery procedures to avoid – details the remaining top 5 procedures to cross off your list:

· Buttock implants – there of those of us who spend much time exercising in the gym to try and attain the perfect behind but for some this means enlarging it to create the effect of being Latino. Solid silicone slabs are positioned behind the muscle but side effects can vary from infections to being unable to sit comfortably. When you consider this is an area that takes much abuse it is really very unwise to place implants within it.

· Make-up by Tattoo – if you are fed up of having to apply your eye and lip makeup on a daily basis you can have the colour tattooed into the area but this is very difficult to remove and due to the sensitive nature of the face you can cause permanent damage. Would you really want to spend the next 20 years with the same makeup on?

· Excessive facial surgery – some are turning to having fat removed from certain areas of the face in order to achieve a more angular and supposedly attractive appearance but the results can look horrendous. The face can end up looking emaciated and sallow.

· Combining breast augmentation and mastoplexy – the two procedures can work very well on an individual basis but when combined can be troublesome if you do not utilise an experienced and trusted cosmetic surgeon. Mastoplexy is designed to remove excess breast tissue but by then adding a breast implant you are stretching the remaining skin.

· And finally the most hazardous procedure of all – the answer; any procedure if administered by an untrained pair of hands. There are now many people offering cosmetic surgery but many of them have not had the necessary training. Some may not even hold a medical degree.

Hopefully this and the first part of the article should have enlightened you as to what procedures to avoid and the varying reasons for this.

To ensure you do not suffer from medical negligence you should always seek a surgeon who is accredited by one of the 2 respected cosmetic surgery associations; BAPRAS or BAAPS.

If you are considering cosmetic surgery procedures in the UK such as breast augmentation you should seek an accredited surgeon who is registered with BAPRAS or BAAPS to ensure this plastic surgery runs smoothly.
