Would you have a boob jab?
Forget boob jobs, there's a new breast-boosting treatment on the scene - it doesn't involve a knife, and it only takes half an hour.
The new boob 'jab', Macrolane, involves plumping up your cleavage by an average of a cup size with a injectable filler.
The plastic surgeon administers a local anaesthetic under the armpits and then manipulates the breast for the best shape as the filler is injected.
Already a massive hit in Japan, the procedure costs between £2,000 and £3,500 and generally lasts between 12 to 18 months.
The Macrolane will deplete and be expelled in normal bodily waste over that time.
Patients can then decide to have a top-up for around £1,000, or leave it for around 18 months, until their breasts have depleted to the size they were before the treatment, and then have it done again.
