Plastic Surgery...for the dead.

Wow...this is disturbing. I found this article on msn.com today. A new trend in plastic surgery is emerging from an unlikely service provider. No longer content to just LOOK lifelike, people making their own funeral arrangements are adding plastic surgery to the list. For decades morticians have used chemicals and cosmetics to give those who have passed a "peaceful" facial expression. These days, clients want to look better in death than they did in life. Seriously???? That makes no sense to me at all. Why on earth would you PAY good money to have your face improved AFTER you are dead? You are just going to be buried and decompose. No one will see you ever again after you are buried. Are you going for the "wow...she looks great" thing that people like to say when they are hovering over dead people? Some people just have too much money. Take that money you would spend to improve how you look in the casket and donate it to charity. People who are living that can benefit from your generosity. Whew...this one got me going.

Here are the popular postmortem procedures:
Lip plumper, Wrinkle Remover and Breast Augmentation. And as a side note for breast augmentionation. If you opt for this postmortem procedure and plan to be cremated, most facilites will insist the implants be removed before the fire. They will explode like little bombs during the cremation process.
