Breast reconstruction surgery — and whether to have it done — is a very personal decision. Some women may consult with a plastic/reconstructive surgeon prior to a mastectomy or double mastectomy, while others may choose to wait, or are advised to wait, by their oncologist. Either way, the goal of the surgery is to restore symmetry and a sense of normalcy for the patient. Reconstructive surgery options usually fall into one of two categories. Tissue expansion involves a series of surgeries that stretch the skin and muscle of the chest to allow a breast implant to be placed. This occurs over [more...]

Cosmetic surgery is now primarily consumed not by the rich, but by the working and lower-middle classes, sometimes even by the poor. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), about 1/3 of cosmetic surgery is consumed by people who make less than $30,000 a year.  About 70% of it is consumed by people who make less than $60,000 a year. It is mostly women (90%) and mostly white, middle-aged women (80% and between 35-55 years old). Plus, why tax a good that increases people’s happiness permanently?
