Plastic surgery as a career move may seem extreme, but more and more professionals are going under the knife to get the edge at work, says Rachel Pask in the Independent.

"Age is my biggest enemy and plastic surgery has given me an extension of my business life. My clients like to deal with young, clever, smart people. It might be different in insurance where you want someone who looks mature, but in property people need to believe that you are sharp enough to handle their multimillion-pound deals."
