SAO PAULO, BRAZIL Mirrors don t lie, nor does the screen during a videoconference: the virus-induced lockdown has led many Brazilians to undergo plastic surgery to look better. With trips canceled and restaurants mostly closed, many have extra cash to carry out such procedures. Regiane de Oliveira Sousa, a 38-year-old sales representative from Sao Paulo, has used her stint of working from home to improve her personal beauty. Over the past six months she has had time to get cosmetic skin peels, breast reduction surgery, liposuction to remove unwanted fat, and facial harmonization treatment. Friends of mine have also taken advantage of teleworking to do these surgeries, she told AFP.
