According to Reuters, despite worries over the state of the economy, US cosmetic surgeons are still seeing strong demand for their services. Fears over the credit crunch have even brought them a new type of client people who have recently lost their jobs and want to look good for interviews.

The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery has found than simple cosmetic procedures such as Botox are increasingly popular, whereas the more expensive treatments are down slightly.

We recently covered a story on how cosmetic surgery might help you get a payrise, so it is no surprise that some people believe that having cosmetic surgery may give them the edge they need in job interviews. Plastic surgery is becoming less of a taboo and the results can often give the patient extra confidence and energy, thereby not only improving people’s first impressions of them, but also leaving the interviewer with a good impression of their energy levels.

So, it comes as no surprise to learn that some people are viewing cosmetic surgery as an investment that will help them further their careers.
