Beverly Hills Votes To Resume Plastic Surgery Amidst Coronavirus

Beverly Hills is ready to get it on and popping in the cosmetic world!

The Beverly Hills City Council voted with a 4-1 majority, to resume elective and cosmetic surgeries, allowing plastic surgeons to reopen their doors as soon as possible.

Councilman John Mirisch was heavily against the decision considering Beverly Hills has one of the highest rates of COVID-19.

“It’s bad policy and it’s irresponsible. The motion was made to just basically rescind the protections we’ve taken more than a month ago and open up those floodgates. Not only does it send the wrong message, it’s just the wrong thing to do at this time I think,” said Mirisch.

“I was absolutely supportive of angioplasty, tumor removal, heart valve replacement, those sort of medically necessary procedures. What I do have a problem with is allowing purely elective cosmetic surgery so rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, Botox, that sort of thing. I don’t think people need Botox now. I think that can wait. I don’t think people need liposuction. I don’t think people need face jobs especially when you’re supposed to be covering your face,” added Mirisch.

Plastic surgeons have been receiving a surge of high profile clientele wanting to resume their botox routine or use the downtime to get more cosmetic surgery, but everything has been closed since March.
