Many Bay State men -- at the urging of their wives and girlfriends -- are shelling out big bucks to give their significant others the holiday gift that really keeps on giving: Plastic surgery.

Mary Giuffrida got her Christmas goodies early this year. The 49-year-old Peabody woman underwent a tummy tuck, breast augmentation and liposuction in October -- a gift from her husband of 28 years.

Giuffrida said there probably won’t be anything under the tree for her Dec. 25 -- but that’s OK. Now, she said, every day is like Christmas.

"Other than my engagement ring, this is the best gift I’ve ever gotten for Christmas," said Giuffrida, who wouldn’t divulge the cost but said she had thought about cosmetic surgery for a long time.

Next week, a woman is coming in for a face-lift, neck-lift and arm and stomach liposuction. It’s one of the largest cosmetic-surgery gifts Sevinor’s seen in 28 years.

Three college students are booked next week for rhinoplasty, otoplasty (surgery for large protruding ears) and a chin enlargement -- all early gifts from their parents, Sevinor said.
