Christmastime is quickly approaching, which means last minute shopping and gift wrapping are in full force.

But this year, some of the most asked-for gifts of the season can't be wrapped or put into a shiny box.

For many people, plastic surgery is what they want for Christmas, and plastic surgeons are busier than ever because of it.

So how much will dermal fillers or a mommy makeover for your loved one set you back?

Newport Beach-based plastic surgeon Dr. Tenley Lawton explained to ABC News, “For a simple injectable, it could be as low as a few hundred dollars. If were talking about a full mommy makeover, which could include a tummy tuck and a breast lift or a breast augmentation, it could be anywhere between $7,000 and $15,000.”

That's quite expensive when compared to, say, a Snuggie, but these gifts are sure to be a hit among the ones who requested them.

Cynthia Hovely received Botox and Juvederm injections from her boyfriend this year, and said, when compared to last year's gift, it's a major upgrade.

She told ABC, “Last year he gave me a bottle of perfume. This is a hundred times better. I think it’s romantic.”
