Lots of actors who are on strike are getting work … courtesy of Beverly Hills plastic surgeons!

Business is booming … so says Dr. Ben Talei of the Beverly Hills Center for Plastic Surgery. He told Harvey and Charles on “TMZ Live” he’s working 7 days a week, because actors are using the downtime to go under the knife and recover without being noticed or missing work.

Dr. Talei says it’s the A and B-listers who are swarming his office … mostly because they can afford it. He’s been doing work on some of his favorite sports stars and actors, and there’s an interesting story about a famous Scientologist who went under his knife.

And here’s the most fascinating part … he says some actors made contingency plans — if it seemed the strike wouldn’t last long, they’d get minor, filler work, but if it was prolonged, they get the full monty.
