The latest news about cosmetic surgery appears to be following a “do-it-on-a-budget” trend, which is understandable given the economic landscape. However, safety should always be number one priority – another lesson in the news that seems to repeat itself.

Patients are learning to prioritize their treatments, while surgeons are offering financing and even money back guarantees, says the LA Times.

Minimally invasive procedures are way up, not only because they’re priced lower, but because some of them are just plain effective. Who’s getting these cosmetic procedures on a budget?

People in North Texas are doing scary things to save money on cosmetics. Some are buying generic injectables and administering them at home with instruction via youtube. DIY Plastic Surgery? No thanks.

Anod of course, while the rest of the world is pinching pennies, celebrities are getting ten cosmetic surgery procedures a day.
