Cosmetic surgeries are now being done in public hospitals. At least this is the case in Canada. In Canada, cosmetic procedures are being subsidized by the taxpayer. The plastic surgeons make an extra profit on the side by using a public hospital instead of a private clinic.

Not only are the operating rooms being tied up -- so are the anesthetists.

CTV News contacted 104 plastic surgeons offices across Canada - from Halifax to Victoria -- and 56 of them -- more than half -- said they do the procedures in hospital. Some doctors believe hospitals allow the practice because it's a way to keep plastic surgeons from leaving to make a better living elsewhere.
