1/8
Perma-Smile surgery
If you suffer from Resting Bitch Face syndrome, you might want to check out the Perma-Smile surgery.
This grin lift is the most effective way to turn your upside down mouth frown into a smile. The procedure involves removing small skin triangles from above each corner of the mouth to cause it to lift. You won't have to be the grumps of the group anymore!
2/8
Eyelash transplant
Another beauty regime you can take out from your morning routine is one for your eyelashes. Women are enamoured by the idea of long eyelashes, making 'eyelash transplant' a real thing that's gaining popularity. It involves adding hair and will result in luscious eyes. One thing you should consider is the hair will continuously grow so they will need trimming every now and then. Of course if this doesn't sound like something for you, there is a plethora of mascaras that can achieve different lash effects.
3/8
Thigh gap surgery
We know thigh gaps (the space between a supermodel's legs) are a big thing on Tumblr, but we didn't know there was actually a surgery to achieve this hallowed look!
A clinic in Texas has capitalised on this alarming body trend by offering cold laser treatments designed to zap any extra cushioning between the thighs, resulting in a gap.
4/8
Cinderella Surgery
This foot altering procedure doesn't sound like a fairy tale to us. The procedure works to shorten or lengthen toes, shave off excess bone to remove lumps and bumps, and even suck off excess fat from big toes. It first gained popularity in the United States, but the trend is now catching up rapidly in the UK and other countries around the world. The quest for the perfect foot knows no bounds!
5/8
Forehead augmentation
Who knew that little surface area above your eyes would come under such scrutiny? Well believe it or not, your forehead can play a big role in how you look overall. In Asia, forehead augmentation is usually done to make the area look more rounded and give the face a more 3D look.
6/8
bra
Don't fancy wearing a bra? Let loose with the 'internal bra', a procedure that gives you support from the inside. There are two types of internal bras. The first is a bra-like mesh which restricts sagging, and is inserted during a breast lift. The other is a new procedure where silicone cups are added under the breast issue and lifted with silk straps, before being sewn into place.
Never go bra shopping again!
7/8
Eyebrow transplant
Eyebrows have become a thing ever since model Cara Delevingne came on the scene, so it's no surprise that so much attention is being given to the hair on our foreheads. Take eyebrow grooming to the next level with an eyebrow transplant where a surgeon removes a four-inch wide piece of scalp from the back of your head. The hairs are then taken off and grafted into your desired shape.
8/8
Brazilian butt lift
2014 was the year of the butt and you can blame Kim Kardashian or Nicki Minaj for the rise of bouncy posteriors.
The Brazilian butt lift involves raising and tightening the skin over the buttocks to make it appear younger, perkier and less wrinkled.

How far would you go to look beautiful? Here, we discover some of the most bizarre procedures being done in the name of vanity.

If you thought getting a face lift, a nose job or lip implants were drastic surgeries, well, they’re nothing compared to some of the new plastic surgery procedures being offered around the world.

Being wrinkle free and having the perfect nose is not enough anymore, now we’ve got to have a thigh gap, dainty feet and the perfect round forehead. Oh, and there’s now a surgery that enables us to smile all the time without actually smiling!

We know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what people do with their bodies in a plastic surgeon’s office is their business, but it’s still incredible to see how our obsession with perfection can drive us to alter trivial features of our body.

Here, we’ve picked the 8 most bizarre yet popular plastic surgery trends only Frankenstein’s creator could have thought of!
