British actress Joely Richardson has thanked cosmetic surgeons for their pursuit of youthful beauty - insisting she's "very glad" anti-ageing procedures are readily available.

The Nip/Tuck star admits she is open to the idea of going under the knife, but doesn't believe a lack of plastic surgery has hampered her career so far.

She says, "Someone once said to me during the first series of Nip/Tuck, 'Do you think if you had bigger boobs you would have won an Oscar by now?' and I replied, 'No, I don't think so. I would just have bigger boobs. I don't know if I would have plastic surgery just yet. But I'm very glad it's out there."
