Could Nipple Surgery Be The New Boob Job?

It appears attitudes to breast surgery may be changing and heading in an altogether perkier direction. Nipple surgery looks set to be the next big thing as stars like Victoria Beckham spark the trend for glass-cutting attributes.

Rather than size, when it comes to breast enlargement women are becoming more concerned with appearance and shape then having enormous breasts, and to top it off they want the perfect nipples too. Over the last 12 months Harley Medical Group has reported an increase of 30 percent of procedures of this nature and sales of prosthetic nipples have risen.

But why is there this sudden upsurge for this kind of surgery?

In an article in The Daily Mail, cosmetic surgeon Riccardo Frati (who works with Rubicon Medical & Harley Medical Group) said: 'Until now celebrities didn't expose their nipples so they were no "nipple role models". In the past I've had patients coming to my surgery clutching pictures of celebrities like Katie Price and saying: "I'd like breasts like hers" but now there's a chance that Mrs Beckham's designer nipples could be the next big thing for 2009'.

While surgery can be used to lift and push out the nipple to make it more prominent giving a younger and perkier look, it can also be used to correct inverted nipples which affects approximately 1.5 million British women.
