 <description>&lt;p&gt;Among the markets that are taking financial hits due to the current US economic wobble/slowdown/meltdown (choose one to suit your personal level of anxiety), apparently &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slate.com/id/2188419/?from=rss&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the cosmetic surgery  industry&lt;/a&gt; is facing a nip and tuck of its own.
