Plastic Surgery Holiday Boom
By Jen Melocco, The Daily Telegraph – January 23, 2008

If you’ve noticed your co-workers are looking rather taut and toned upon their return to work you might wonder what they did to chill out and shape up over their holiday break.

This year you may just find it was more than a diet or detox that was responsible for their changing appearance. Sydney cosmetic surgeons are reporting a spike in people going under the knife. The Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons said doctors are reporting higher inquiries and appointments this month.

One doctor was forced to cut his summer holidays to keep up with demand. Dr Anoop Rastogi said inquiries were up 20 per cent from the same period last year and procedures were up 10 per cent. “It's a trend that has been growing over the last five years," Dr Rastogi said. "January is always a busy month but this year I have started operating from January 10 when I wasn't meant to return to work till January 21,” he said. “In the past cosmetic surgery was more of a taboo but now people are seeing it as a positive New Year resolution.”

There is nothing wrong with wanting to look your best and for many looking better can be one factor in feeling better about themselves. But the question is whether this trend points us in an ever spiralling quest for perfection. Cosmetic surgery is certainly no longer just the realm of celebrities.

Australian Society of Plastic Surgeon spokesperson Dr Tim Papadopoulos, who has practices in Penrith and Lane Cove, said the summer spike in cosmetic surgery had occurred across Sydney. He said the most requested procedures in January included breast enlargement and liposuction. “People think they would like to look good in their swimwear,” he said.

Dr Mark Kouhat has also reported a lift in the number of non-surgical procedures, with Botox leading the way. Beauty therapist Emina Kadic, 29, made the move to have a lip filler and Botox in January as a beauty boost for the new year. “I like to exercise and stay healthy and look young,” she said. “This is a good way to start the year looking young.”
