They've been around for 50 years, but are boob jobs to be celebrated or avoided?

Breast enhancements are performed more than any other type of cosmetic surgery. Is it really worth boosting your breasts? Or is it better to live with what nature has given you?

It's 50 years since the first ever boob job, and last year 10,000 women in the UK had breast surgery. But should we avoid going under the knife just for the sake of our cup size, or do boob jobs make us feel uplifted?

Why exactly do so many women want to boost their boobs? Is it simply to make them feel more curvy and womanly? Or is there too much pressure to conform to a certain, idealised body image? And with all the recent negative publicity surrounding PIP breast implants, are the risks of boob jobs just too great?
