Plastic Surgery is the Newest Way to Score a Promotion
Dr. Melissa Doft, who runs a Park Avenue plastic surgery practice in Manhattan, told Moneyish that she gets patients in their 50s and 60s who are sick of people asking them, “When are you going to retire?”
“They feel young, and they want to look young and like they’re still on their game – which they are,” Doft said, “particularly in real estate and in the tech industry, which is composed of a largely younger crowd.”
And one businessman told her that Botox actually made him more approachable at work because it smoothed out his intimidating frown lines. “What he found was in the boardroom, people responded to him better afterward,” Doft said. “They talked to him more and voiced their ideas more often, and he thought it was because they’re not as afraid of him.”
