COSMETIC surgeons worldwide are fielding a massive influx of clients who want to be given the unique look of lifelong Wigan residents.
Clinics have waiting lists up to a year long of wealthy clients demanding their faces be sculpted into something ‘more Northern’ and ‘like they enjoy a good pie’.
Surgeon Dr Helen Archer says: “Dramatic, emphasised jowls, lines around the mouth that suggest you’re affluent enough to constantly have a vape on the go – it’s a look that’s going places.
“I’ve had clients tell me that once I lowered their brow line, they got asked out on dates by minicab drivers and aced job interviews for evening work at a chippy. Looking the part truly opens doors anywhere from Eccles to Skelmersdale.
“And it’s not just the ladies. Men are desperate to look like they were born at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary and are munching a kebab on King Street after a night at the roller rink.”
Dr Archer offers a ‘full Wigan package’ for as little as £30,000, with payment plans available, but warns: “You have to know that this is a look you want to commit to.
“If you change your mind, it’s very hard to turn a Wigan face into a St Helens or a Warrington face.”
