 Transform is the largest comsmetic surgery business in the U.K. They employ 40 cosmetic surgeons. And if things go according to plan Transform will become the world's first publicly traded cosmetic surgery firm.
They say their average full-time cosmetic surgeon makes about 300,000 pounds per year. That would be equivalent to almost $600,000 dollars per year.
The Guardian interviewed one of their executives, who explained how different age groups tend to want different cosmetic procedures. Between the ages of 18 and 25, young women tend to have breast augmentation ($8,000) or lip enhancement, in their thirties they choose tummy tucks ($8,000) or liposuction (from $5,400) followed by face-lifts (from $9,500) in the mid-fifties. The oldest person operated on at Transform was a woman in her seventies who had the bags under her eyes reduced (from $5,500).
Men tend to go for nose jobs and eye bag removals.
