For the first time in her life Lucy Wingate feels she has a shape she is happy with.

'My body is more womanly and I have my curves in all the right places,' she said.

Last week the 26-year-old single mother of two had a breast enhancement, thanks to a new service - mybreast.org - which makes the UK's top plastic surgeons available at prices women like unemployed Lucy can afford.

mybreast.org was launched in January to make reliable plastic surgery more affordable, and to deter women from going abroad to seek out cheaper, but often less reliable alternatives. All the surgeons taking part in the scheme are members of the British Association of Aesthetics Plastic Surgery (BAAPS).

The set fee of £4250 covers the operation, hospital stay and post-operative care – some surgery in London with other organisations can cost as much as £7,000.
