According to a recent survey of women living in New Zealand, more than 60 percent would consider improving their appearance through cosmetic surgery. The survey, conducted by the Kiwi edition of Next Magazine, asked more than 1,500 women across the country questions related to health, weight, and appearance. Harley Medical Company recently reviewed the survey results.
89 percent of those surveyed felt that their looks were 'very important' to their success. Four out of five said that they thought attractive people received more opportunities in life. New Zealand women feel that their stomachs are their top 'problem area,' while they feel that their cleavage is their best asset.
Most women in New Zealand would consider going under the knife if they felt that their appearance would be improved if they underwent plastic surgery. According to the survey results, nearly two-thirds of Kiwi women would consider undergoing cosmetic surgery.
While women make up the majority of cosmetic surgery patients, the number of men undergoing cosmetic procedures in New Zealand has also been increasing over the past decade. According to some surgeons, the number of men seeking cosmetic surgery has increased by 30 to 50 percent over the last 10 years, mirroring the trend in many other countries.
