From BBC News:
The UK spends more on cosmetic surgery than any other European country, market analysts Datamonitor have claimed. UK consumers paid nearly £500m for nips and tucks in 2006, topping the outlay of their image conscious counterparts in Italy and France, Datamonitor said. But the figure was still way short of the £5.7bn dished out by Americans on cosmetic procedures in the same year. Datamonitor predicted UK spending on surgery would swell to £1.5bn by 2011, rising at a faster rate than in the US… The fastest growing area of cosmetic surgery has been minimally invasive procedures, such as botox injections, which have soared over the last decade.

Any word on the Brits spending on dentistry?

yes, it would seem difficult to eliminate that, um, equine smile with plastic surgery alone
