How acceptable is it?
The number of cosmetic surgery procedures in Britain has risen by at least 50 per cent in the past year.
Around 75,000 of these procedures are carried out annually, many by surgeons who lack specialist qualifications, and at an estimatedÌýcost of £225 million.
The Government is today launching plans to regulate the industry. But does the wider and open use of 'nips and tucks' for women and men, make it acceptable, or should we be concerned about this worship of youth and glamour?
Martha talks to psychotherapist, Susie Orbach, and journalist, Zoe Williams.Ìý
