Plastic surgeons say they're working overtime during the holidays reshaping faces, breasts and tummies as husbands and boyfriends give their loved ones the gift of a makeover.

Kendra Schroeder of Pasadena says her husband gave her a $7,000 breast job as an early Christmas present, and she couldn't wait to get it done. Dr. Franklin Rose performed the surgery two weeks ago, in time for holiday parties.

Cosmetic surgeons are often busy around the holidays because people use time away from work to recuperate. But this year, some surgeons say they're seeing an uplift in business, possibly due to an improving economy and strong spending on luxuries.

Some doctors warned that spouses shouldn't give surprise gifts of cosmetic surgery unless the recipient has talked to a doctor. "The person has to want the surgery for themselves, not because the husband wants it done," said Houston surgeon Dr. Michael Eisemann

1. Isn't that kind of an insult?

I guess with the vain society that we have many sheeple would not feel insulted.

2. I would think so

Unless the recipient of the surgery has expressed that they want to have this done. I would hope it not "Suprise honey! I got you a boob job for xmas!"

3. sigh...

i'm currently watching a relative go through a bunch of surgeries, and i dont understand any of it, especially, because i think that her husband is the driving force.

i really dont know of any female who has had major plastic surgery who did it for themselves.

i just dont get it.

4. "spouse's shouldn't give surprise gifts of plastic surgery"

That would be a real Kodak moment wouldn't it?
