Well, look what people in the Land of 'The ONE' have taken to doing ... I guess they're not so sure anymore that they did the right thing when they pulled the lever next to his name ... votes have consequences. On the other hand, I'm sure they're improving the appearance of the city ... and what about the ones who already lost their job ... ? They can't get this wunnaful surgery ... 'inequity' ain't always the same as 'iniquity' ...

More Job Seekers Opting For Cosmetic Procedures

CHICAGO (CBS) ― Hundreds of people in the Chicago area are turning to plastic surgery to keep or land a job.

In this troubled economy, you may be thinking about beefing up your resume or adding to your portfolio, but how about going under the knife? As CBS 2's Mai Martinez found, hundreds of people in the Chicago area are turning to plastic surgery to keep or land a job.

In his 10 years as facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Dayan has had no shortage of patients in his downtown Chicago office. But these days, Dr. Dayan says more and more are looking for an edge in the challenging job market.

A good 10 to 15 percent of my patients who come in now are requesting treatments in order to make them do better in the workplace," said Dr. Dayan.

Dr. Dayan says his patients range from CEOs to receptionists to school teachers, and especially sales people. David Wilk, 27, is one of them.

The treatments aren't cheap. Dr. Dayan says the average cost of non-surgical procedures ranges from $300 to $2,000. Surgical procedures can set a person back anywhere from $1,500 to $10,000.

Most procedures are considered "elective", and are therefore not covered by insurance. But many doctors do offer payment plans.

Despite the hefty cost, the patients say it's worth every penny. They feel it will pay off in the long run, by helping them either keep their job or find a new one.
