MistressYlwa -> Face Lift Lottery (1/20/2007 8:14:53 PM)

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- British surgeons have condemned a plastic surgery lottery that offers winners money for facelifts, breast enlargements and tummy tucks.

London-based Europa International is running what is thought to be the world's first lottery for cosmetic surgery.

For the price of a 1.50 pound ($2.90) text message or phone call, winners of the monthly draw will receive 6,000 pounds towards the cost of the surgery of their choice.

John Babbage, the co-founder of Europa International, said it is not much different from reality television shows that offer cosmetic surgery to contestants.

The winner of the draw will be randomly selected and meet directors of the company before being flown to Prague in the Czech Republic for the surgery.

I wonder how long it will be before we see this in the United States?

I see nothing wrong with this at all. if they can have lotteries for money, houses and cars, why not this? I am not contemplating having one, but I am aware that the average face-lift can easily cost $7-10,000 (or more). Breast augementation (at least where I live) is at least $3,500-5,000. That's not "pocket change", for many people, and if it's done by a responsible plastic surgeon, why not?
