FANCY a Jennifer Aniston-style cleavage boost? Or perhaps a wrinkle-free face like Anne Robinson?

Taimur Shoaib is just the man to help. The consultant has set up Scotland's first independent plastic surgery clinic, La Belle Forme.

From his gleaming offices in trendy Wilson Street, Merchant City, Mr Shoaib, 39, uses the latest technology to give women - and a few men - the beautiful bodies the clinic's name promises.

He was so busy at his clinic at Glasgow's private Nuffield Hospital, where the operations are performed, that he set up the private clinic a few months ago.

It's the first in Scotland to be opened by an individual plastic surgeon,.

Mr Shoaib said: "Celebs have always had treatments, however now they are far more open about it. We know about Katie Price, we know about the Big Brother contestants and we know Jennifer Aniston has had the Macrolane recently."

This new treatment is what celebrity magazines are saying has given the film star a boost in the bust department.

It sees a special gel injected under the skin to shape the body, costs £2295 and avoids breast augmentation surgery, although that remains the Glasgow clinic's most popular procedure.

Mr Shoaib also hopes to invest in a machine which offers instant liposuction - and could shave an inch of the thighs in a month, Demi Moore-style.

Botox, fillers, lip and cheek enhancement and chemical peels are also on offer at the clinic, and are carried out by clinical nurse specialist Fiona Shanks, 27.

Mr Shoaib, who lives in the West End with wife Ambreen, 36, his former practice manager, and children Maliha, 9, Karim, 7 and Haaris 4, was born in Pakistan.

He trained at Glasgow University, Edinburgh and Oxford and is one of only two head and neck plastic surgeons in Scotland.

He is also the only one trained in specialist maxillofacial surgery which covers diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face and jaws. He currently offers facial reconstruction procedures for cancer patients at Glasgow's Royal Infirmary's Canniesburn Unit.
