Plastic surgery on hotel bill

NZPA-AP Grand Rapids People seeking the ultimate in hotel pampering can check out the ritzy Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, Grand Rapids, where room service soon will offer guests youngerlooking faces, smaller noses and bigger breasts.

The hotel, in an arrangement with a group of local surgeons, plans to open a plastic surgery centre that will allow guests to charge the surgical nips and tucks to their room bills.

“Privacy and pampering is what it’s all about and we’re very excited about drawing people from all around the country,” said Glenn Brewer, chief executive officer of Amway Properties, a sub-

sidiaiy of the Amway Corporation. “It isn’t just for the idle rich, but we are a worldclass hotel and this is a very prestigious service to provide,” Mr Brewer said. Five plastic surgeons have begun construction of offices and outpatient surgical suites in the exhibitors building of the hotel complex. Prospective patients can check into the hotel, receive routine cosmetic surgery and recover in their hotel rooms.

David Vanderwall, one of the surgeons in newly formed Plastic Surgery Associates, said the hotel atmosphere will be less threatening to patients than hospital surroundings.
