The Gift Not to Give This Time of Year: “Boobs Job Vouchers”

A warning from a professor in Germany. Think twice about giving a “boobs job voucher” as a gift this Christmas season:

People planning to give their loved one a nip and tuck at Christmas could be risking more than upsetting their partners – cheap seasonal offers with time limits are not to be recommended, a top surgeon has warned.

Professor Peter Vogt, president of the German Society of Plastic Surgeons, said such offers, frequently available online, did not give potential patients time to consider what they really wanted done or the opportunity to get to know their possible surgeon.

“Strongly discounted offers for aesthetic procedures such as breast enlargement and liposuction lead patients to decide for an aesthetic procedure that they might never have considered without that offer, and with that, not think about the risks,” said the Berlin-based surgeon in a statement.

They are also often put under pressure to make a quick decision by offers with a time limit, he said, leaving no time for a patient to check out a doctor’s credentials.

“The patient must carefully check if the person making the offer is qualified to conduct the requested procedure,” he said, recommending that anyone considering surgery discuss the options with the potential surgeon – an option closed to people who have been bought a voucher.

Yes, safety might be one reason not to give a boobs job voucher as a gift.

And there are other reasons to think twice.

A girlfriend or spouse might not be too happy about getting a boobs job voucher as a gift if she hadn’t ever talked or thought about that issue before.

And Uncle Edgar might not be too happy getting a boobs job voucher as a gift, either.
