Last week's New York Times had an article about getting nipped and tucked at the mall.
"And it’s convenient. “I can be in and out in a half-hour,” she said, and “it gives me an excuse to go to the mall afterward to do a little shopping.” If a procedure causes redness or bruising, the spa offers a convenient back-door exit to the parking lot. "
The article then discusses who performs theses procedures: "Even the kind of doctor needs to be scrutinized, he said. In the past, cosmetic procedures were done solely by plastic surgeons, dermatologists and ocular plastic surgeons. Today, even podiatrists and dentists are moving into the field. "
In the end, the market is still growing, and people are still buying.
