As far as celebrities go, Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice was relatively young when she got her breasts enlarged. Usually, a female celebrity will wait until her looks start to fade before opting for a breast augmentation.

Victoria Beckham is still an attractive woman regardless of her obvious breast enlargement surgery. Although it seems her self-esteem needs a bit of raising.

Veteran actress Joan Van Ark recently showed up at a recent award show looking a bit bruised and battered. It seems she had recently gone under the plastic surgeon’s knife.

The former star of TV series “Knots Landing” wore a lot of make-up to cover the tell-tale signs of her recent facelift. Joan Van Ark really should have stayed at home instead.

Plastic surgery comes from the Greek word “plastikos”, which means to fit for moulding. The origins of plastic or cosmetic surgery can be traced back to 500 B.C in India when the practitioner Sushruta, reconstructed prisoners noses and earlobes that had been amputated. In recent years, the cost of having of cosmetic surgery has come down dramatically. One of the main reasons has been the emergence of medical tourism.

Medical tourism involves taking advantage weaker currency rates in other countries and/or low cost air travel, to travel abroad in order get world class medical treatment in a foreign country. As part of the recuperation process, the patient can even spend time holidaying at a resort in that foreign country while the wounds heal. Alarmingly in recent times, there have been horror stories of botched surgeries performed by dodgy plastic surgeons abroad. Prospective patients should do extensive research about the practitioner before opting for any operation.
