It's the most wonderful time of the year... At least for cosmetic surgeons.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the last two weeks of December are the busiest time of year for plastic surgery.

One -- because the time off around the holidays allows people to heal without having to walk around the office with any tell-tale puffiness.

And two -- for people getting procedures covered by insurance, the end of the year can be a good time to save some money, if they've already gone to the doctor a bunch and met their deductibles.

I think this isnt new anymore. A lot of individuals are into plastic surgery and the only thing that these individuals can do is to take necessary measures in choosing their plastic surgeon and deciding for their goals.

I am sad to hear this. Now I am sure there are some grounded reasons for plastic surgery, but I believe that many of us seek it in order to "be attractive" and hence be loved and accepted. What have you done today, to affirm your own beauty and that of another?
