Credit Crunch Prompts Cosmetic Surgery Makeovers
Employees are increasingly seeking cosmetic surgery in an attempt to succeed at work, new research reveals.

Workers hit by the credit crunch are undergoing cosmetic treatments over fears their appearance is holding them back at work, with a spate of patients changing their appearance to avoid discrimination, according to consultant surgeon Brian Newman, who runs clinics specialising in the minimally-intrusive treatment of spider and vein threads and facial redness.

“Rosacea and thread veins on the face can knock sufferers’ confidence and sadly, there are misconceptions about the cause of face reddening,” said Newman.

“I’ve treated patients who are worried colleagues will mistake a red nose as a sign of alcoholism and others who are concerned their acne-like rosacea is a sign of poor diet and health. In our image conscious times, poor self confidence can hold people back from achieving their full potential at work.”

Newman says bookings have increased dramatically during the credit crunch, up 60%.

“It has been well documented that people invest in themselves in times of economic instability, and we are definitely seeing evidence of this,” he added. “Workers are nervous about their future career prospects and are taking steps to make sure they are not overlooked because of their personal appearance.”

Dr Newman operates clinics in Glasgow, Harley Street and Manchester. Treatments can be carried out during a lunch hour, but more than one treatment may be necessary.
