An American Society Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) conducted a survey with 756 women:

• 13 percent (more than 1 out of 10 of the 115-million working-age women) say they would consider having a cosmetic medical procedure specifically to make them more confident and more competitive in the job market.
• An astounding 3 percent (nearly 3.5-million working women) say they’ve already had a cosmetic procedure to increase their perceived value in the workplace.
• 73 percent (almost three out of four or, 84-million working women) believe, particularly in these challenging economic times, appearance and youthful looks play a part in getting hired, getting a promotion, or getting new clients.
• 80 percent (four out of five or 92-million working women) think having cosmetic medical procedures can boost a person’s confidence

Does it really shows that there is an increasing number of people having plastic surgery indicated of getting a better job?  Dr. Benchetrit used the statistics from ASPS to support its arguments. 

The author tried to take the message stronger by interviewing the insurance broker, Janice Axelord to talk about what are the advantages of looking good in this competitive society. He quoted " Time has given me the professional knowledge. But time can take away the youthful sparkle of my appearance if I let it. When you look good, you feel confident. That gives me a competitive edge and something my clients have come to expect from me.”  We can get a really strong message here from Janice that she can gain from the society and working environment.   In my opinion, using the interviewee Janice as an example can strongly convinced the readers or pursued them to have a try for plastic surgery.   


He ended up with contact details and information about him and the team at COSMEDICA about surgical and non-surgical treatment.
