Get a boob job to boost your chances of finding a partner--this is one of the biggest reasons given by clinics offering cosmetic surgery in Australia, according to an investigation. u00a0 In the probe, conducted by consumer group Choice, three women were sent to 30 clinics, half in Sydney, half in Brisbane, where most cosmetic surgeries are performed in Australia. u00a0 Posing as potential customers, the women inquired about liposuction, breast augmentation and Botox. u00a0 Choice spokesman Christopher Zinn revealed that the most remarkable statement to any of the women was that she would have an improved chance of finding a partner if she had her breasts enlarged. u00a0 "It's incredibly surprising that a doctor would say that. Talk about playing to people's insecurities," News.com.au quoted Zinn as saying. u00a0 However, what surprised the investigators was that these clinics failed to explain the dangers, such as leakage and scarring linked with cosmetic surgery. u00a0 "Given the known risks and the unwillingness of some cosmetic surgeons to discuss them, there needs to be stronger regulation," said Zinn. u00a0 Many states do not allow for promotion via before and after pictures and in Queensland cosmetic practitioners can't call themselves surgeons, other than fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons such as plastic surgeons. u00a0 Although there are recommendations of a 1999 inquiry into cosmetic surgery, they have not been implemented in NSW, where lasers can still be used without a licence and beauty clinics can inject Botox. u00a0 And now, Merrilyn Walton, who ran the inquiry, said that the field of cosmetic surgery was still "cowboy country". u00a0 She added: "I don't understand why governments have been so tardy in their response to the inquiry we did a decade ago. Many cosmetic surgery practices have been devoid of the normal protective mechanisms in medicine. From the patients'''' perspective, they need the same safeguards whether they're in cosmetic surgery or being treated for an illness. It's still cutting the skin." u00a0 Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery president Daniel Fleming said: "We do not condone this kind of behaviour. It is unacceptable."
