Beverly Hill plastic surgeon says striking actors using downtime to get new faces

Dr. Ben Talei, who was recently publicly thanked by Sia for her facelift, told Fox News Digital he did'a ton' of facelifts during the height of the actors' strike. During the strike, actors have found themselves with a lot of downtime. In addition to picketing, another popular option, according to Dr. Ben Talei, is getting a cosmetic refresh. The Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon, who was recently praised by "Chandelier" singer Sia for giving her an "amazing" facelift, explained the mini plastic-surgery boom he has seen in his office. "Before the strike, as rumors were kind of going around that a strike was going to start… I began getting consults and I started getting lots of text messages from friends and friends of friends in Hollywood," Talei told Fox News Digital.
