It is a known fact that a tough job market will lead to cuts. The kinds of cuts, according to news reports online are not what most would expect. More men are going under the plastic surgeon’s knife for a lift in the hope of securing a job.

Dr. Yan Trokel, a plastic surgeon was quoted as saying, “Unemployed men that are coming in just to get a little bit of an edge, so they can look a little bit younger, a little more energetic.” This trend has also been seen in parts of Asia. News reports suggested that men in that region have used plastic surgery to survive in an ultra-competitive job market.
