| Plastic surgery not for retired Aussies
The occasional nip and tuck to keep oneself tidy is gaining acceptance around the world, but for Australian retirees plastic surgery is not a priority.

While retired Australians may be shying away from complete makeovers, they have embraced new technology and prefer to google rather than garden.
