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.
