To be fair, most people can't afford it. Among the female middle-class, you're lucky if you can even get one thing done, like a facelift, a single botox injection in the face, mole removal, a lip filler, or on rare occasions, a boob job. I remember one time mom got an estimate on a facelift, and the clinic she visited wanted to charge her $4,000 out of pocket! :O You can imagine why she didn't go through with the surgery.
You're more likely to run into middle-class people who got plastic surgery as part of something more practical, like reconstruction after a mastectomy, or botox injections for muscular problems, or having a surgeon stitch up the wound on your face so the scar will almost look invisible or way less noticeable.
Among the rich, it can get ridiculous, particularly in Hollywood. Some people even get addicted to it, because they are just not happy with how they look, and want to keep changing it. Even worse, some start running out of money and go to cheaper clinics that don't use as good of methods, and then the results look awful.
