Breast implant surgery has been popular worldwide for decades, however, the procedure has received extra press across the past few years – and not all positive affirmations.

Injectable treatments – Botox, dermal fillers – have been hailed the world over for their wrinkle minimising, voluminous and rejuvenating benefits.
