Sin Teta No Hay Paraiso telenovela about plastic surgery

Would you like to work for an employer who will pay for your plastic surgery? Well, according to the AP, the Colombian city of Ibague finances tummy tucks, butt lifts, and other aesthetic operations for the employees.

It is well known that plastic surgery in Colombia is a way of life as it is in Venezuela or Brazil. Recently a soap opera called Sin Tetas no hay Paraiso (Without Breasts, There's No Paradise) has become extremely popular even beating Betty La Fea (now being shown in the US as Ugly Betty). The story revolves around how plastic surgery may be the only option for some women to get out of poverty.
