Plastic Surgeons See Drooping Business

Economy Cuts Face Lifts, Other Procedures...The economy isn't the only thing that's sagging...

[meowmeow]

Biden and Pelosi should be due for another round soon. That should give them a spike...

[Dr. Ursus]

Pelosi will can for a Federal bailout!

[sevinufnine]

With all of the debate and economy talk...I found this article kinda funny due to the headline.

HEY! Isn’t a saggy old hag what the plastic surgeons look forward to seeing walk into their offices?

[heywoodubuzzoff]

If they were not drooping, why would a woman go see a plastic surgeon?!?

[OB1kNOb]

This economy is likely to put a wrinkle in their revenues.

[GOPJ]

Is that why Biden was using tape on his face last night? Can’t afford the real thing?

[LS]

It’s clearly a “nice-to-have” luxury, and one of the first things to go in a falling economy.

[Mr. K]

Did anyone else notice Biden had unusually squinty eyes and funny makeup on the corners goign up at an angle towards his temple?

I am guessing recent facelift

I recognize it becasue I had one! I am not embarrassed to admit it. It is outpatient procdure, I was awake and watched them do it and I had the same scars- they fade really quickly

Joe Torre looks like he’s had a face lift in his time in LA.

[goresalooza]

I’ve been saying he had work done since his failed appearance on ‘Meet the Depressed’ a couple months back. He looks like crap warmed over. Can’t even move his forehead and he has a bizarre slant to his eyes that makes him look like a cartoon villain.

[Rennes Templar]

Plastic surgeons may have to cut and run.

[brytlea]

Yeah, I’m not particularly concerned that people might have to do without plastic surgery, or save longer to afford it if it’s important to them. Or, maybe some 16 year olds aren’t going to get their augmentation for their birthday. Now...that might be really traumatic! This should probably be funded under Obama’s healthcare proposal...

Wonder if he has tried slapping a few Breathe-Rite strips randomly around his face? Would that work?

They don’t need surgery. Just smear some Preparation H on their heads. It will shrink up, eleminating bald spots and gibve them a natural face lift. Of course it will also pull their ears up giving them a “Mickey Mouse” look but then the Dems are a Mickey Mouse organization anyway.

I went to see my dermatologist last week here in Boca Raton, and he is part of a large clinic that has a lot of plastic surgery/cosmetic related treatment services in it. You could hear a pin drop. I was the only person in the waiting area for 15 minutes, saw one person waiting as I exited 20 minutes later. Aside from Southern CA I'd guess this is one of the most intensive plastic surgery markets around (due to combination of wealth, sun related issues and aging population, in that order) and I'll be looking at the business bankruptcy filings soon and expect to see plastic surgeons and clinics specializing in that practice. It's the ultimate discretionary purchase.

It was on sale at Home Depot, next to the duct tape.

[peggybac]

Drooping business?

Might have worked better. Then again, the people I spoke to who DON'T have HDTV couldn't see the problem. I was odd looking.
