Preston, in Lancashire, is currently revelling in its status as England's newest city, having been awarded city status as part of the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2002. With a population of around 132,000, Preston is the administrative centre of Lancashire, and cosmetic surgery in Preston is more prevalent than anywhere else in this northern county.
"Proud Preston", as it is known locally, was a centre of industry in the 19th century, when it transformed from a small market town to a much larger industrial one, with cotton mills being its main source of income until the decline of the cotton industry after World War I led the community to take up newer forms of manufacture such as electrical goods and engineering.
Preston has always been a forward thinking town, and was the first town outside of London to be lit by gas, in 1815, so it is perhaps not surprising that cosmetic surgery in Preston is also ahead of the crowd. An example of this is consultant plastic surgeon Mr Peter Paterson, who offers a wide range of cosmetic surgery in Preston from his private practice, Sandon House Clinic.
Mr Paterson prides himself on being able to perform most cosmetic surgical procedures under local anaesthetic – having performed in excess of 100 facelifts and 90 breast augmentations using local anaesthesia – meaning it is possible to have cosmetic surgery in Preston without suffering the side effects of general anaesthesia.
Some surgeons, however, feel that the use of general anaesthetic makes for a safer surgical procedure, so if you are planning to have cosmetic surgery in Preston, it's a good idea to do your research before deciding which technique works best for you.
The town centre itself underwent a form of cosmetic surgery in Preston in the 1960s, when several old developments were bulldozed and replaced with new buildings, such as the St Georges Shopping Centre, which opened in 1966 and the Fishergate Shopping Centre, which opened 20 years later in 1986.
Since the town received city status in 2002, several new developers have targeted it, with more cosmetic surgery in Preston planned in the form of new luxury apartments in and around the city centre. The Riversway area, by the docklands, has also undergone redevelopment recently, mainly in the form of offices and residential areas.
There are plenty of bars, restaurants and nightclubs in the city, for those of you wishing to show off the results of your cosmetic surgery in Preston, with one of the most cosmopolitan areas being Winckley Street in the elegant Georgian Winckley Square conservation area.
