One of the latest cosmetic surgery trends is for women to have plastic surgery in preparation for their wedding day.

The trend may in part thanks to the decline in the meringue dress fashion. The meringue dress could hide a multitude of sins from a flat chest, flabby belly or chunky thighs, however as it goes out of fashion in favour of more stream-lined dresses, less flaws are able to be hid easily under the new-style dresses.

Having cosmetic surgery before the big day may help to increase the bride’s confidence in the way she looks. The most popular surgical procedures are said to be breast augmentations and liposuction.

Any bride-to-be is warned to leave enough time after the surgery to ensure they are fully recovered for the big day. Although most surgeries will take about 6 weeks to recover from, it is advisable to leave at least 3 months between the surgery and the wedding to ensure you are fully recovered and to ensure the full results are visible.
