Call You and Yours: Would you consider cosmetic surgery?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Would YOU consider cosmetic surgery? A survey for Woman's Hour suggests more people are. Just under a third of women questioned said they would. That rises to almost 50 percent in the under 35's That's despite issues surrounding the industry. Back in 2010 40,000 women in the UK found out their breast implants - produced by a French company called PiP - were filled with industrial, instead of medical, grade silicon. That led to a review of the industry to clean up what was dubbed the "wild west" of surgery. Has it been cleaned up? And has that changed how you feel about it? Would YOU consider cosmetic surgery?
