In today’s economy, it may be just as well!

Plastic surgeons around the country are finding that the weakening economy has not reduced the number of patients coming longing for cosmetic quick fix. In fact there is now a growing number of new ones—people fresh out of work who want to appear fresher at interviews and younger than their resumes might suggest.

A recent study by one of the premier dermatology organizations found that nearly 63 percent of their doctor members are maintaining their normal volume of cosmetic-related appointments compared to just six months ago. The study found that demand for Botox injections was increasing, in spite of worries of a U.S. recession. Laser, fillers and other non-invasive procedures are also becoming more popular among the recently unemployed - their improved appearance viewed as an investment to help them land a new job.

By the same token, albeit a higher value one, there has been a slight downturn in demand for full face lifts, hair transplants, eye surgery and other fixes that are not only more expensive, but require longer recovery periods. Products promising less bruising and faster healing are also showing an increase in sales.

So how poor is too poor to look your best? Over half the cosmetic doctors surveyed said their patients were more concerned with the costs of cosmetic procedures than they were six months ago and 44 percent noted that patients were allowing longer time between visits. The alternative? Since most cosmetic doctors take credit cards, simply charge your procedure, get that new job and pay down your debt. Where there’s a wrinkle, there’s a way!
