According to the Daily Mail, the trend, often referred to 'revenge plastic surgery', is seeing more and more separated singletons taking drastic cosmetic measures to transform their bodies and reinvent themselves following a split.
Transform Plastic Surgery Group reported that 26% of plastic surgery patients are now recently divorced women, with 11% being recently divorced men.
Procedures undertaken range from fillers and Botox, to major surgeries like full body lifts and breast implants.
The trend has been on the increase in the US for a number of years, but now it is also starting to gain popularity in the UK.
Many felt they 'let themselves go' during their marriage and once they found themselves back on the dating scene following a divorce, led to a crisis in their confidence. The other main reason behind the procedures was to simply show their ex what they lost – and what they are missing.
However, plastic surgeons have warned against the revenge surgery, saying that having permanent procedures carried out for the benefit of someone else, is ill advised.
Dr Brent Moelleken explained: "I personally believe this is part of the grieving process when a relationship ends.
"It's never a good idea to have plastic surgery for somebody else, only for yourself.
"Some people are unhappy with their surgery because they did it for their ex. When things don't work out, they blame their surgery for not fixing the problem.
"So experienced plastic surgeons are watchful for patients who are doing surgery for the wrong reason."
