SSIAs ‘will see cosmetic surgery spend up 20%’

WITH the first of the SSIA saving funds maturing next month, car dealerships are not the only businesses licking their lips.

Along with travel agents and home improvement retailers, cosmetic surgeons are also set to benefit, according to a private clinic that specialises in sculpting ageing bodies.

The €20 million-a-year cosmetic surgery sector will increase by at least 20% this year with the maturing of the SSIA funds, says Dr Salman, chief surgeon, Auralia Hospital in Dublin’s Parkwest.
