The aging workforce, more specifically older high fliers, is seeking face-lifts to compete with their younger peers. These anti-aging procedures have nearly doubled in a year, even amid the financial crisis. The UK’s Harley Medical Group also said that in general older workers are hoping to age more gracefully and look younger especially since many are being laid off and competing with Generations X and Y for jobs.
The Director of the Harley Medical Group, Liz Dale said,
"People are looking for ways to keep themselves one step ahead of their colleagues. Most patients think about cosmetic surgery for many years and office competition simply acts as a catalyst"
Looks like the financial crisis is causing more than just economic woes, it’s bringing in beauty and youthful competition in the workforce. And it's becoming the instigator and promoter for plastic surgery among people in their 50s and 60s.
