People are requesting and getting cosmetic procedures even after they're gone -- from Botox, to lip injections, to line fillers.

"We do similar procedures as Botox and things like that to make that person appear the way they should," he says. "We do similar things that what a plastic surgeon would do on the lips and so on."
