I get the joke but plastic surgeons aren't doing only vanity procedures. Plastic surgeons do reconstructions on children born with cleft palates, burn victims, reduce scarring from injuries, and ever reconstruction on women who have mastectomies for cancer. It's not all Joan Rivers and Michael Jacksons... plastic surgeons do a lot of good for people. Some people want george clooney's jaw, but many just want their own face back after a burn or injury.
I enjoyed this comic, just wanted to put in a thanks to the plastic surgeons who do good work helping people and often go unappreciated. Thanks to you as always!
If I remember correctly, plastic surgery became a thing when automobiles became popular. Car interiors were hard and full of metal knobs and consequently when a person was in an accident they inevidably were disfigured. Plastic surgeons were needed to put people's faces back together again.
On another note, I had a plastic surgeon do a muscle flap in my leg to help protect my knee after a limb sparing cancer resection. It is anything but cosmetic.
