Business is booming for Denise Thomas, a cosmetic surgery consultant who takes clients doctor-shopping for just the right surgeon to laser away wrinkles, get rid of droopy eyelids, suction out fat, or tighten up that turkey gobbler neck. Her appointment book contains the names of Wall Street vice presidents, physicians, lawyers, graphic artists and museum curators who believe they need, as well as want, a youthful, vigorous appearance. Many of them are from the army of 76 million baby boomers marching reluctantly through middle age and are willing to endure expensive and painful procedures to look younger.

Plastic Surgery, at one time the province of the rich and famous, has become the refuge of the merely middle class and the barely old. While widespread acceptance of the nip and tuck has been growing over the last decade, its use has mushroomed into a climate of rising disposable income and the baby boomers' fear of aging. Once the goal was to look more beautiful. Now, experts say, it is to stay young-looking. "A lot of the baby boomers have the money and they are fighting like hell to stay young, especially the men." Thomas said. "It's been a very big year. A wonderful year. And I think next year will be even better."
