[QUOTE=8ballrollin;163352]New economic indicator?

"Plastic surgeons report people are getting antsy about spending big bucks for bigger breasts or a nose job.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the slowdown was a hot topic at a recent meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in Baltimore.

Pittsburgh plastic surgeon Dr. J. Peter Rubin said the mortgage credit crisis is making people think twice."

Question: Is this a lagging or leading indicator?

nd in a related note:

Here is a study showing the positive psychological effects of breast augmentation:

"Along with having a very positive body image, the group reported decreased self-consciousness (86 percent) and heightened self-confidence (88 percent); in addition, 95 percent said they felt better about themselves after surgery."
