Woman banker has one word for you: Plastics

In the November issue of Oprah magazine, this anonymous 55-year-old executive says that her career has been greatly enhanced as a result of breast implants, liposuction, nose jobs (2), a forehead lift, a tummy tuck, a face lift, and lip surgery. She also had her teeth veneered. (Her butt was in good shape, so she didn't do anything with that.)

You must have been happy with the results.

Not only did my romantic options explode, but my career instantly shifted into a higher gear. I was suddenly being courted by senior partners, included in meetings with the CEOs and CFOs of current and prospective clients. I thought, "Wait a minute--I'm the same person I was before the surgeries." But now I looked like a bombshell in addition to being really good at my work, and it definitely opened up more opportunities. That's when I began to think of the surgeries as an asset and an investment.
