Gastric Band, Plastic Surgery Adverts Banned In Spain, Tummy Tuck
Spain has banned cosmetic surgery adverts before 10pm. The ban also includes adverts for slimming and beauty products.
This step is the most recent in an ongoing campaign by the Spanish government against the so called “cult of the body”. Spain has the highest number of cosmetic plastic surgery procedures such as liposuction and breast augmentation in Europe and a large number of cases of anorexia and bulimia.
Other steps the Spanish government have already taken is to ban zero sized models on catwalks during fashion week and stopped clothing shops from using the smallest size of dummies.

Cosmetic Surgery, 17 Million Plastic Surgery Procedures Last Year,
According to a recently published report, over 17 million Americans had plastic surgery last year.
Despite the economic downturn, demand for some cosmetic surgery procedures rose considerably. Nose operation rose 74% compared to the previous year and facelifts rose 44%. Tummy tucks also rose considerably in popularity, as did gastric band surgery.
Non invasive procedures such as skin peels and botox increased sharply, possibly because people are opting for these less expensive treatments during the economic downturn.
Breast augmentation remains the most popular procedure for women, and rhinoplasty, or ‘nose jobs’ are the most popular amongst men.
