A bonus for growing older in the Inland Northwest? We don't have a real obvious facelift culture. You spot them here and there on women and men, but there's no real pressure to go under the knife for vanity's sake. People age in place and face. A story broke today about a small study that indicates face work shaves about seven years off your age. The more surgery, the more years. That kind of media buzz will likely generate even more business for plastic surgeons. Good for the economy and good for the women and men who choose it. But living here makes it easy to pass on the plastic. Agree?
