Is starting to hit plastic surgery:
The slowdown was a hot topic at the meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in Baltimore this fall. One breast-implant maker sees hints of a slowdown in demand. The number of vision-correction surgeries appears to be falling as well. “This whole mortgage credit crisis is making people think twice,” said J. Peter Rubin, a Pittsburgh plastic surgeon. “It’s something I’ve noticed and some colleagues have noticed as well.”

On the bright side, at least the people who pass up vision-correction surgery won’t notice the decline in breast implants.
On the other side it shows how this crisis affects other areas of the economy meaning bad news for those of us who invest in the stock market.
