Against the Cosmetic Tax - By Veronique de Rugy - The Corner ...

Cosmetic surgery is now primarily consumed not by the rich, but by the working and lower-middle classes, sometimes even by the poor. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), about 1/3 of cosmetic surgery is consumed by people who make less than $30,000 a year. About 70% of it is consumed by people who make less than $60,000 a year. It is mostly women (90%) and mostly white, middle-aged women (80% and between 35-55 years old). Plus, why tax a good that increases people’s happiness permanently? According to Will Wilkinson (and based on very serious academic [more...]

Will Going Braless = Sagging Breasts? | Dr. Laurie Casas M.D. ...

Question: I tend to go braless a lot when wearing tank tops and camisoles, especially in the summer. Could this have long term negative effects on my breast shape? Do you have any advice for how to help prevent breast sagging or help prevent worsening of my sagging breasts? Answer: If your breasts are not properly supported, your breast ligaments can over stretch, which can make your breasts droop or sag. If your breasts are not supported, gravity can help to make breasts, especially heavy/large ones, sag or droop. It is important even for small breasted women to wear proper fitting bras in [more...]

Different Uses of Plastic Surgery | Dave Dockhorn

It should be mentioned that there are certain risks. Quite apart from the very high fees involved with plastic surgery, there are potential risks with infections or scars. But a good plastic surgeon will tell you all about these risks beforehand. Another reason for having plastic surgery done on yourself (other than improving your looks) is to make your life better. Some people have a physical problem that doesn’t allow them to do things normal people can do. Examples of this is large breasts, droopy eyelids, a big chest, large eyelids and so on. These kinds of things, even though they [more...]

Mini-facelifts: Are they Quick, do they Suit your Lifestyle? - The ...

Most people would say "I want my jowls and neck fixed, too. Those drive me crazy!" Secret #1: if you have more than just a tiny bit of neck looseness, it's not going to be corrected with a mini-facelift. You are going to need an extra step. This may be called different things at these franchised practices - a "neck-firming procedure", a "sub-chin tuck", an "optional necklift"...but you get the point. The Mini-facelift does not have the power to fix a loose neck. Secret #2: If you have a lot of loose skin on the cheeks, especially down by the corner of the jaw, the mini-facelift may not work [more...]

"In my opinion...": Reality TV: The Real Cost

It was not that long ago that the concept of Reality TV was completely new.
