Cosmetic Surgery Knowledge Base
cosmetic surgery? i was just wondering what everyone's opinion on cosmetic surgery is. im planning on getting it when i am of age, not to look fake but just to feel better about myself. i watch dr. 90210 and i think i would like to have dr. li as the surgeon for a breast augmentation i may get. i would have to be really rich though, cuz most insurance companies dont pay for it right? o i thought she only did like breast augmentation and reductions etc but she does really nice nose refinements and stuff. so if i become rich (in my dreams) i could get surgeries by her. ok apparently ppl dont understand wat i mean. i know the risks etc etc i just dont think theres a problem with getting a surgery to feel better about yourself. and if you feel thats what u want to do, i say go for it. i cant really explain it online
Can you deduct cosmetic surgery costs on income tax? I had my sinuses cleaned out and had the surgeon also perform some cosmetic surgery on my nose at the same time. I was told some of it would be billed to insurance but wasn't coverable because of the cosmetic surgery done. Can the costs be deducted as medical expenses on income tax?
How do you feel about elective cosmetic surgery? If money were no object, would you have cosmetic surgery? Not for anything medical like fixing a burn or a cleft palate, but something totally cosmetic like a nose job or breast augmentation.
What is the right age for Cosmetic Surgery? I am writing a paper on cosmetic surgery during the teenage years and I wanted to see what other people thought about the issues. When do you think its appropriate (age) to have the operation? Would you every have cosmetic surgery done and if so what would you do? Do you think girls as young as 14 should be having cosmetic surgery?
Is there a cosmetic surgery available for stretch marks? I would just like to know if there is a cosmetic surgery for stretch marks. I have really bad ones on my hips and it does bother me. Its just a question and I would prefere if people did not pass judgment or offer moral guidance on the issue of plastic surgery. I am well aware of the arguments and it's not like I'm getting a whole body work up. Its just a question. Thanks!
What can I do about unsatisfactory cosmetic surgery? I had some cosmetic surgery done about 3 months ago. Everything has healed by now, but it isn't even close to what I expected it to look like. Suing the doctor is a last result because it is a lot of trouble, and the whole staff was friendly to me. So aside from suing, what can I do about unsatisfactory cosmetic surgery results? The surgery cost $2,000. I want satisfaction.
What are the ups and downs of cosmetic surgery? I'm in a debate, and I don't know if I'm negative OR positive. I just want to know (since I cant find any info on the net) what are the ups and downs of cosmetic surgery? I do know that teenagers get influenced by celebrities to get them, etc. And I know that people can have a "boost" in their confidence if they get surgery. Any more ideas? :) thanks.
Is there a way to thin out the nostrils via cosmetic surgery? Is there a way to thin out the nostrils via cosmetic surgery? I really like my nose's bridge/ cartilage area but I have very meaty or thick nostrol loops. I hear that your nose's skin will eventually loosen anyway as we age is this true? If not is there a way for cosmetic surgery to thin out just the nostrol loops?
Where can I find a free cosmetic surgery planner? I am having breast augmentation and I have 4 kids, I have not scheduled the surgery because I have no idea how to prepare does anyone know of any web sites that have free cosmetic planners? It can be down loadable or printable.
What was the cost of your cosmetic surgery? Specifically, how much did your breast augmentation and/or tummy tuck cost? Where (city/state) was it performed? How long was your healing time? Are you happy with the results? I've been doing research of my own, but I do not know of anyone personally who has had cosmetic surgery. Any input you have is greatly appreciated. Why do people insist on answering questions they know nothing about. I do not need councling Jack@ss!! And just for reference... I'm 5'6" and a whopping 120 lbs. I'm just fixing what was ruined after my son was born. And I'm already fixed, so I won't be having any more children.
Where can I get the computer-imaging software that surgeons use during a cosmetic surgery consultation? When you go to a cosmetic surgery consultation, one thing the surgeon often does is show you what you could possbly look like after the surgery using imaging software. It is a computer program similar to Photoshop. It might actually be Photoshop, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know where I can get this software? If I could get it for free, that would be even better! I would like to have cosmetic surgery and would like to learn more about the potential results I could achieve. Thanks a million!
Are people who have cosmetic surgery pathetic? I've always thought that people who have cosmetic surgery for vanities sake are so pathetic. Why would anyone have themselves cut up just so they can look good for the opposite sex - what do you think? Please note my use of the term 'cosmetic surgery' - thus I am obviously not talking about reconstructive surgery. I also wish to make it clear I am not talking about surgery on abnormalities such as extra protruding ears. I am talking about liposuction (not for medical reasons), breast enlargment and surgery of that sort... I do not believe anyone does it for 'themselves'. So if there were no other people in the world would they do it - I doubt it!
What do people want cosmetic surgery? What are some questions about cosmetic surgery that people are interested in knowing? how do they afford it? I need a narrowed down topic about cosmetic surgery that is interesting. Any other ideas?
Can you get cosmetic surgery on graft sites? I was in a bad accident 5 years ago, and part of my injuries was a badly disfigured, indented patch on my leg which had a skin graft. The indent is very pronounced, and it looks like i have a section of my leg missing on one side. I also have severe nerve damage to this area. Is it possible to have cosmetic surgery to "fill in" this very large indent? If so, is it done on the NHS or do you have to go private?
Can you finance cosmetic surgery with bad credit? My credit sucks but, I'm finally making good money now. I would like to get cosmetic surgery costing about $3500. Is there a company that will finance me? I know some banks offer financing but, they have strict credit requirements. For the record, I have paid my debts back. NEWSFLASH...that doesn't instantly repair your credit! I am not a stripper who wants fake boobs either. It just so happens I was in a car accident when I was a teenager and I damaged my chin & neck. It's been so long now that the insurance company refuses to pay for the reconstruction. You just assumed.....and you know what happens when you do that:)
Cosmetic Surgery. Is it really risky to undergo lip reduction and chin augmentation? I've read an article from a cosmetic surgery website that undergoing lip reduction could lead to a permanent numbness of the chin area (after undergoing chin augmentation) or numb sensation on the lips right after undergoing lip reduction. Is there anybody out there who went into this kind of procedure and found this out to be true. What is the percentage of having successful from unsuccessful operations- that is the risk of having permanent numbness...
Am I like the only person that finds it weird for a guy to want cosmetic surgery? I know it's not a sexist procedure but it still weirds me out to see these metrosexual guys wanting cosmetic procedures done - - okay I get it that men can have maincures, pedicures, and massages, hair products too but come on now cosmetic surgery what's next Dick implants!! I need my man a little ruff around the edges these guys are getting too soft - boarder line fairies if you ask me...
Do blind people get cosmetic surgery? I know this sounds superficial, BUT I fell that those who see are more superficial and more about looks because they can in fact see these looks. I was just wondering if there were some people who are blind that have had cosmetic plastic surgery. Just curious.
How advance is cosmetic surgery? Is it possible now days using cosmetic surgery to change the tone or color of the skin , erase acne scars , or make someone short change the height ??? how far can someone change using cosmetic surgery ...??
Cosmetic Surgery? Do celebrities, like Jessica Simpson, who go in for cosmetic surgery regularly stay away from the sun completely during their recovery period? How do they shun the media during this time? Will you ever consider cosmetic surgery yourself, and why?
Cosmetic Surgery??? I'm still fairly young to be worried about cosmetic surgery, but never the less, want to get it done. I had my daughter over a year ago and where MOST of my pregnancy weight has come off I still have some areas that bother me. For one I have so much extra fat/ skin on my stomach that I can't even look in the mirror without being depressed. I have dieted and excersized and I can't seem to get rid of the last bit. My husband still thinks I'm beautiful, but I feel ugly from the neck down. It's not as though I feel "fat" just flabby. Things sag where they didn't before. In summer, I'm too embarassed to go swimming because I don't want anyone to see my tummy, butt or theighs. I really want cosmetic surgery but 1- I don't think we can afford it right now, 2- we do want more kids and I feel like it would be a waste to get all the work done just to ruin it with pregnancy again. Does anyone have any advice? Are there payment plans in most doctors offices?
Have you ever been critizied for having cosmetic surgery? I could care less what a person does with his/her body, if it makes his/her feel better about themselves. I am all for cosmetic surgery, ( I am saving to get cosmetic surgery myself) I was just wondering if anyone has ever been critizied for their decision and how did you react?
Cosmetic Surgery? Is male infant circumcision a cosmetic operation to make the penis look better/ and or is it for sexual purposes? My friend told me that circumcision was a purely cosmetic surgery of the penis and to make it look better but also had sexual benifits for the woman. She also told me that in the old days maybe a hundred years ago midwives did it on boys to keep them from playing with themselves and that circumcisions are becoming rare these days. Is any of this true? I always thought moms had their boys done for medical reasons?
Cosmetic Surgery? I have a couple problems I was hoping could be fixed via cosmetic surgery. First off, there is a fairly large vein beneath my eye. Is this removable? Second, my feet point outwards like \ /. I walked on my toes as a kid, so my hamstrings are kinda shoved up my legs, and my feet point outward. Is this able to be fixed in orthopaedic surgery? Finally, my voice is more nasaly than normal. Is there a way to reduce the size of the holes that lead from my throat to my nose? Any other ways to fix these issues?
Cosmetic Surgery? Has anyone ever had any plastic/cosmetic surgery they can give advice on? In particular, tummy tuck, liposuction, and/or breast implants. Stories of the experience (the surgery itself, the doctor, the procedure, after/healing, after/done healing) would be great!
How can someone get pro-bono cosmetic plastic surgery procedures done? Does anyone know of a way a person could be considered as a medical students practice subject, and maybe could act as their practice subject throughout their cosmetic plastic surgery training, in order to receive cosmetic plastic surgical procedures free of charge? Or is there a way to be considered for pro-bono cosmetic plastic surgery?
Cosmetic Surgery!!? Has anyone had cosmetic surgery @ the Harley Medical Group in London? What ever surgery you have had- how were your experiences!? Why is it that people send replys that werent asked for? I dont mean to be rude but what I dio is my business! I have something that I want done because it is making me severley unhappy and miserable and seems to be taking over my life at the moment! This has been going on for years and isnt a decision I have taken lightly - it just seems the last option! Please see things from other peoples points of view- if you have had bad experiences with cosmetic surgery and are warning me off then I fully appreciate and value your advice! If you are just here to judge me and actually have no idea about this subject then please dont answer the question. If you read it properly if people have had surgery and what their experiences were! I'm not asking whether I should go through with it or not! We are all individual and I am old enough to make my own decisions! I hope you dont take this too harshly but as I said this is a very senstitive subject for me and very upsetting!!

cosmetic surgery? I was born 26 years ago, and my mother and father were both very ugly people, needless to say i am also a very ugly person. I am so ugly that one person on seeing me turned to stone.. I have come to terms with being ugly, but my girl freind who came runner-up in the miss world contest thinks a bit of cosmetic surgery would not go amiss..At the moment i go for a drink down the pub with a halloween mask on, because i get a lot of stick without the mask....also get some stick with it on ,especialy in the middle of summer...Now what i want to know is do i go under the knife or should i live with what nature as bestowed on me...Im basicly an happy chappie but there are times i get a little depressed......When i was a child my parents wanted to release me into the Amazon jungle, they thought i would be at home there,instead i went to Oxford university .. I await any sugestions

Cosmetic Surgery? How do you pay for cosmetic surgery? Do some doctors allow you to pay on a payment plan or do you put it on a credit card .....??? thanks to everyone who gave me the answer to the question I was asking! For those of you that gave me your unsolicited opinion about cosmetic surgery, spare me. I'm not a 18 year old looking for bigger boobs. Believe it or not there are reasons for cosmetic surgery other than vanity, and as far cosmetic surgery changing "everything about me".....I suppose it could be true if I was a vapid, shallow, ego maniac who had nothing else to contribute other than my looks.
Cosmetic Surgery? Hello just a quick question about cosmetic surgery. Basically when you go in for say a boob job or breast reduction, is it still the same as a operation for your health. As in do they still stick one of them thing's into your hand, like they would if you was going for a health operation. The thing I am talking about is something that puts fluide in your body, and what not. Thanks to anyone that know's.

cosmetic Surgery? i have 2 genetic defects that i have been told by my dr will never change. 1 is that my thighs are really large. everyone in my family has large thighs, so i guess it comes from that. i wear size 13 around the waist but size 20 through the thighs. finding jeans ... impossible. also finding bras is impossible. i am larger than a C on one side and slightly smaller than an A on the other. my dr and parents suggest surgery... but idk. my friend's mom had surgery and had a horrible recovery that is still going on a season later. also... might the medicine/anestesia hurt your brain? is it even really worth it and will the insurance pay for it? please answer if u can tell me anything i should know about surgery before deciding to have it.

Cosmetic Surgery? A lady in her late 40's went to a plastic surgeon for a face lift. The doctor told her of a new procedure called "The dial" where a small dial is planted on the back of the head and can be turned to tighten up the skin to produce the effect of a facelift. Of course, the woman wanted "The dial", had the surgery and all was well. Fifteen years later the woman went back to the surgeon. "All these years everything had been working just fine.", she started, "I've had to turn the dial on lots of occasions and I've loved the results. But I seemed to have developed two annoying problems with my face." "Go on" the doctor said. "First of all", she continued, "I've got these terrible bags under my eyes and the dial won't get rid of them." The doctor looked at her and said, "I'm afraid those aren't bags, those are your breasts." She replied, "Ah, I guess that explains the goatee."

Does anyone out there work for a private cosmetic surgery clinic? If so, answer me this? I work in a GP surgery. Why, when people are spending thousands of GP£ to a private clinic on cosmetic surgery, does that clinic ask the GP's surgery to arrange blood tests and ECG's etc. (all NHS funded) AND then send them the results AND arrange for prescriptions after, surely this must come out of their budget, not the NHS. No wonder there is no money left for the most deserving, the NHS is funding the private health service indirectly. Dreams, that's as it SHOULD be, but very often it's not. They seem to try to screw every penny from the GP budget. They should not even be allowed to ask.
What do you think about cosmetic surgery? I'm considering having some plastic surgery - not for the purposes of losing weight or significantly changing my appearance - but, because I'm 36, and things aren't as "perky" or "tight" as they were before having three children (and, exercising doesn't seem to change this either)!! What are the pluses and minuses of boob jobs, tummy tucks, a little liposuction, etc? Also, does anyone know approximate costs of these elective surgeries by a REPUTABLE surgeon (no inexpensive butchers, thank you very much!). Is it normally cheaper to do everything at once?
Is it wrong and impossible for me to get cosmetic surgery at 16? I know it sounds kind of crazy, but I have had surgery on me as a child to correct my ptosis. I work as hard as I can on appearance and take care of myself. My uneven eyes is something that I can never change on my own though and it really bothers me that I'll probably have to go through school one and a half more years before I can actually get surgery done. I don't need to talk to anyone because aside from being self-conscience I'm (almost) completely fine in my own skin. I'd really rather be average looking than have had surgery to correct ptosis and have the effects of it still show. I hate the way my eyes look from the side and how sometimes it's more uneven than usual. Has anyone ever got surgery that has made it so someone could never tell you have ptosis? Things like this really bother me and I doubt I'll ever be able to ignore it without getting surgery. Everything I'm doing right now to make it less noticeable seems to be in vain, so isn't surgery the only answer?
Pros and Cons of Cosmetic Surgery? I need this for an essay I'm writing-- If somebody could please illustrate the pros and cons, and any information they can find about cosmetic surgery, that would be vastly helpful. Like, how did cosmetic surgery benefit/hurt our economy? What are the side effects of cosmetic surgery, physically? What does it say about America, which has one of the largest cosmetic surgery industries? Is it ethical? Is it the reslut of low self-esteem? Does it imply to much value in appearances? graphs, numbers, real-life stories, anything would be helpful. Thanks. Well, this is certainly annoying. I got less answers than the guy wanting to know girl butt sizes.
cosmetic surgery? if you was offered to change any part of your body for free what would it be
Cosmetic surgery to hide dimple on chin? I have a weirdly shaped chin and was trying to find out what sort of procedures may help my appearance. My chin receeds slightly. It is weirdly shaped because I have a pretty deep dimple and so it looks as if my chin is a doughnut of flesh with eveything around it receeding. Whats more is that it is not quite symetrical either. I also have a double chin that appears quite easily depending on the position of my head/jaw/neck, which is weird since i'm a very skinny girl, I should have a better defined jawline. What type of cosmetic surgery could correct this and give me a smooth chin and bring balance to my face. Would an implant or injections do the trick??? Please, I don't care about your "plastic surgery is a waste of money" or "learn to accept yourself" comments. This is a serious question, I only want serious answers. Thanks!
