Venezuela's newest shortage: breast implants

SIAP - search revealed nothing.
Venezuela's chronic shortages have begun to encroach on a cultural cornerstone: the boob job.
Beauty-obsessed Venezuelans face a scarcity of brand-name breast implants, and women are so desperate that they and their doctors are turning to devices that are the wrong size or made in China, with less rigorous quality standards.
Venezuela is thought to have one of the world's highest plastic surgery rates, and the breast implant is the seminal procedure. Doctors performed 85,000 implants here last year, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Only the U.S., Brazil, Mexico and Germany — all with significantly larger populations — saw more procedures.
Unable to find the devices in doctors' offices, some women are turning to the Venezuelan equivalent of the bartering website Craigslist, where sellers post pictures of black market implants of unknown origin sitting in sealed packages on kitchen tables, complete with stories of spouses who changed their minds and reassurances that the pouches remain sterile.

Insurance does not cover fake tits, which are almost always worse than an average set of real tits.

I work with an older woman from Venezuela and the dumbass went back home to get her tits done last year. She is 60 years old and doesn't have a chance in hell of landing a man, but she thinks that by getting the boobs done she is going to find a sugar daddy of some kind.
