About 10 percent of patients at Yurakuchou Clinic are people who have lost their jobs or are looking for one; another 60 percent have cosmetic surgery mostly because they fear losing their job, Kurokochi said.
Wow, I have never once heard of an American getting cosmetic surgery because of anything related to work, it's almost always about attracting the opposite sex. But 70% of people in Japan who get cosmetic surgery do it for their jobs?!? Man, their priorities are so different...
I saw the tv show where they gave away free operations. Really dramatic changes. Perhaps we`re at the beginning of a plastic surgery arms race. When the ugly girls do it then the pretty ones have to go a step further. In the end they`ll all look like Michael Jackson.
