basically not surgery but using filler as botox, chemical peeling to improve the looks. >> does the type of procedure mitigate the risk? >> absolutely. this is not surgery but again it's a malady of older patients. so yes, procedures longer than six hours really do have a higher -- not only in older people but younger people too. they specifically look at oxygen fairians, people who are over 80, again about a 2% complication rate. the same as if you were in your 50s. a lot of this has to do with new surgical techniques that have improved. >> we're talking black friday, gift giving. plastic surgery. is that the gift that people -- how do you bring that up? >> carefully, delicately. >> something you tell them? >> there are gift certificates available for, you know, $500 or $1,000 for fillers or things
