New daily deal site to specialize in plastic surgery
If you’re looking for a group buying website offering deals that change more than the brightness of your smile or colour of your nails, a new website might be able to help you out.
SociallySexyDeals.com is launching with a focus on cosmetic surgery, apparently offering specials on everything from breast implants to liposuction.
When they launch March 1, users will be able to buy a deal claiming 25 per cent off breast augmentation, among other specials.
SociallySexyDeals.com will only offer one Canadian city at launch – Toronto – with plans to expand to Miami, New York and L.A. later this year.
But just because someone has a 30-day voucher to go under the knife doesn’t mean they’ll wind up on the operating table.
A spokesperson from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario told CTVNews that doctors will have to assess patients for eligibility.
For example, some might have underlying health problems which could prevent them from undergoing a procedure.
It’s just the latest deal service, however, to offer odd specials in a market dominated by cupcake and manicure promotions.
Just a few months ago, a U.S. university offered discounted tuition on Groupon.
Would you buy a voucher for plastic surgery from a group deal website?

I would too, a little juvederm or botox or maybe rhinoplasty would be nice. Already got the implants so no need for that one. Hope they start one in alberta

Never.
All those females on the fence about this sensitive, life changing decision, could be persuaded by the lure of a "Sale"? They could impulse buy a new body? A new face?
This seems like a motivation we just don't need. If someone wants a new body part, come to that decision in your own time, when you've got the money to do it.
Don't rush something so permanent, so drastic for a 25% off coupon. Every woman has impulse bought something they later don't want, or couldn't afford.
These items are UNRETURNABLE!

Although this is very good news, I would certainly agree with Sam. Discounted coupons are like tempting desserts in a restaurant; their low-cost prices are so enticing. But getting a plastic surgery is a serious thing, which needs thorough planning. This procedure will drastically change your whole life, so it is best to be careful in choosing a procedure.
