Tango Alpha Boob Job

Fellow Buenos Aires expat blogger Olivaer Balch (or Argybargy.biz fame) writes in today's Guardian (UK) about one of the new trendlets caused by the devalued peso and sudden cheapness of Argentina: a boom in plastic surgery tourism. It's the perfect chocolate-and-peanut-butter match: boob jobs done by skilled, experienced surgeons--at we'll-throw-in-a-tuck-with-your-boobs prices. As Balch notes:

One in 30 Argentinians is estimated to have gone under the plastic surgeon's knife, making the population the most operated on in the world after the US and Mexico. Boob jobs are a popular birthday present from Argentinian parents stuck as to what to buy their teenage daughters.
