The Beverly Hills City Council voted to repeal its moratorium on any elective surgeries, including cosmetic procedures and plastic surgeries.
Members voted 4-1 to remove restrictions put in place by the state to ensure more beds for coronavirus patients and to prepare hospitals for a surge of cases.
While doctors will have the authority to decide if a procedure is medically necessary, the vote means cosmetic surgeries will now be permitted in the city of Beverly Hills.

Apparently Newsom doesn’t understand his state “geographics”
Good!! End the dictatorship now!
Orange County California beaches are non-essential and closed, but plastic surgery is essential? This is why the thugs on the left should never hold power over the little people - they don’t care which way they decide, just that they have absolute power over us.
I read today that “elective” medical care at hospitals is any procedure that is for anything that is not life threatening at the moment and is scheduled ahead of time.
A brother of mine has some good doctors in locked down southern California. They got him scheduled for a procedure to put some stents in some arteries to his heart. That was after the lab work showed his heart was functioning at about 50% of what it should be. But he felt fine, was not in pain, not breathing heavily and doing all the physical things he wanted to do. Thankfully, the doctors dismissed how good he said he felt and got the procedure scheduled to go in and place some stents in him next week. He and I did not expect that. We thought they’d be made to wait until restrictions against “elective” procedures were lifted. They are going to do a Wuhan Virus test for him a couple days before the scheduled procedure. But is just the PCR (nasal swab) test, that looks for the active virus. It is not the blood test that looks for antibodies in those who have recovered from an illness from the virus.
My best wishes for your brother. Our family is familiar with stents and bypasses. In my humble opinion, a stent should not be classified as elective. It is an urgent life sustaining procedure which should not be unnecessarily delayed. They will probably hold him overnight for observation to make sure the stents haven’t failed, and they will prescribe blood thinner medication. After he is released they will ask him if he wants cardio rehabilitation. If he chooses to do it, it’s about a three month program, 3 times a week. Not everyone chooses the program though.
Thanks.
Right now he is scheduled today for pre-op blood work & electrocardiogram, then tomorrow he goes to another facility for a PCR-swab test for the Wuhan Virus, then Tuesday morning at 7:AM he goes in for the procedure. They have told him after some preliminaries are done (unspecified time length) then the procedure itself may last 4 hours depending on how many blockages they think they must stent. Then he will be there under observation for four hours, by the end of which, if all looks good, they will send him home; and yes he will be on a mild does of blood thinners but only for a specified time.
I was just thinking and wondering if they have in his medical history that many years ago, at another facility in a different part of southern California, he had a heart event that sent him to the hospital where, at that time, they put a “balloon” in an artery to “open it up”. I sure hope the cardiologist he has now knows that. I’m going to ask him. Surely with all the images - Xray, ultrasound and echo cardiogram - that he had this past month they must know it by now.
I think celebs should not get plastic surgery. They end up with the Joker smile.
You can look up before and after photos. Jennifer Aniston & Courtney Cox have had surgery and botox and fillers and their faces are starting to melt as they get older.
Don’t leave anything to chance. All information relevant to the cardiologist should be given to him.
It’s the curse of being a female star. Their beauty is their value, and they can only be viable so long. We can name any number of male actors who still command large fees as they get older. Very few women can do that.
Yes, some of those people start to look frightening after this long without a "touch-up."
Of course it’s essential! This is Beverly Hills!
