MANCHESTER, England, June 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- An online cosmetic surgery resource has highlighted the benefits of breast augmentation surgery. According to Cosmetic Surgery Guru - which provides information and advice about surgical and non-surgical procedures - boob jobs can give patients a confidence boost and are more than just a cosmetic treatment.

A spokeswoman for the site, Isabella Franklin, said: "Breasts are an important part of the female anatomy and many women feel inadequate if they're flat chested. Surgery offers a safe and reliable alternative to natural beauty and can do wonders for peoples' self-esteem."

She continued: "Recent statistics from The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons has revealed that breast augmentations are the most popular type of cosmetic surgery in the UK. A total of 10,015 women had their busts boosted in 2011 alone and this proves operations of this kind are in high demand."

Interestingly, Manchester-based research appears to back up the view that chesty women feel more confident. In the first study of its kind, scientists found that push-up bras make women 75 per cent more confident in day-to-day life.

A total of 60 video recordings were made of female participants aged between 20 and 55. Footage was compared of them wearing normal lingerie and push-up lingerie and the results were surprising. Smiling (associated with confidence) increased by 73 per cent in women wearing uplifting bras and breaking eye contact (associated with low confidence) decreased by 41 per cent.

Commenting on the study Isabella Franklin said: "Sassy lingerie is a great alternative to those who can't bear the thought of surgery. Nevertheless, breast augmentations last for a long time and can make a lady feel extremely feminine."

Cosmetic Surgery Guru encourages anyone wishing to have cosmetic surgery to consult a reputable surgeon at a respectable clinic.
