Executive Botox
As a traveling editor for a plastic surgery site, I've often met people who are curious about plastic surgery. These are people in their late twenties or early thirties and even though I work in public relations for a site that hosts plastic surgeons, it still surprises me how many young people want to have something done.
There was an article published in the New York Times years ago that I still remember today. It's still online now, which you can read here. I remember it because I laughed at the thought of male executives "beautifying" themselves to get ahead. To paraphrase Dr. Anton in the interview: too much plastic surgery will make a man more feminine-looking.
Perhaps the country to watch for executive plastic surgery (let me be the first to coin the phrase) and plastic surgery in general is China. In China, it's not just about getting a job or a promotion, it's also about getting married. According to the Reuters report, Chinese students comprise up to eighty per cent of the procedures being done today, and their parents give them full support for a nose job or eye lift - the two most popular procedures among the Chinese youth.
Reading these stories, I get the feeling that after we've gone passed the vanity of getting a facelift (if we ever do), the main reason for getting something done will be an economic reason. The question then is, Will the pay off be worth the pain and the risks? Though there is no question that growth in wealth, as in China, means growing demands for aesthetic procedures, I have yet to read a story about cosmetic enhancement or revision done purely for career advancement or business payoff. I'd be curious to see how this industry progresses on the professional level as it becomes more widespread. Instead of browsing for the most recent celebrity plastic surgery disaster, we could be flipping pages of Vogue or GQ looking for a winning eyebrow lift or Botox treatment.

Hi all,
I am considering applying for DL MBA at WBS. Can someone please suggest how I can get in touch with current DL students or alumni whom I could talk to and get their frank opinion of the programme.
