Hello Kate,  

Unfortunately I was not able to locate cosmetic surgery statistics for
the Europe, however I did find the following figures for the UK:

- The value of the market for cosmetic surgery in the UK 1998 and 1999

- The estimated value for cosmetic surgery in the UK for 2004.

- The number of cosmetic procedures performed in the UK during 1999

- The most commonly performed procedures in 1999

Cosmetic surgery sales in the UK 1998 for the following procedures:
- Fat reduction procedures 
- Breast enhancement procedures 
- Facelift procedures 
- Nose job procedures

Sales forecast for the following procedures in the UK 2004: 
- Fat reduction procedures 
- Breast enhancement procedures 
- Facelift procedures 
- Nose job procedures 

Would this information interest you?

Thanks,

Dear Bobbie,

Yeah, I have done some extensive research on the web already on Europe
myself (very unsuccessfully) and thought that maybe Google- wizards
could discover the secrets of plastic surgery on the web.

That being said I would be delighted to receive what you have so far
on the UK. Thank you very much for that. If you do come across more,
then kindly let me know!

Have a great weekend, thanks for your help!

Kate

I discovered additional information that may interest you.


According to The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
ISAPS, “more cosmetic plastic surgery operations are carried out in
the UK than any other European country, figures reveal.”

Most plastic surgery operations (2000):  
US             143,676 
Brazil          66,090 
UK              24,336 
France          21,221 
Mexico          16,957 
Switzerland     16,062  

“The ISAPS said Europeans have a "more conservative attitude" towards
plastic surgery than their American counterparts for whom radical
procedures such as face lifts and buttock lifts are more commonplace.”

“In Turkey, Sweden and Japan more than 20% of the plastic surgery
patients are male.”
