Women are turning to surgery to get a bikini body like Heidi Klum
As the Summer days are, hopefully, getting nearer the pressure is on to loose weight and get that perfect body like Kelly Brook and Heidi Klum but it seems instead of diets and exercise many women are turning to the more extreme measures of surgery to loose weight.
The Birkdale Clinic reports that it has seen an 52% increase in the number of enquiries for weight loss procedures and has completed 142 gastric band procedures in the last twelve months.
It seems that women are getting more self conscious as models grace the catwalks in this season’s summer clothes. Some are now following in the footsteps of celebrities like presenters Fern Britton, Anne Diamond and Sharon Osbourne and are considering having the gastric band fitted or having a tummy tuck procedure to help them achieve the look they have always wanted in preparation to hit the beach this summer.
However this type of surgery is not for everyone and Birkdale will carefully vet each patient to see if the procedure would be unsuitable or dangerous
Marie Jenkins Patient Co-ordinator at the clinic commented: "We are overwhelmed with the enquiries we have received about our weight loss procedures, and we always ensure that the patient has tried exercise and diet before they turn to surgery. But for many, surgery will be the only thing that works for them. As the summer approaches, we are seeing more and more women coming to us wanting to achieve the beach body that they have always dreamed of."
