What cosmetic surgery have you had or are you interested in having?

[Glitziegal]

I would love a boob lift.

Chin wise I was practically born with a double chin. I have always hated that I had no jawline, and couldn't bear to look at myself in the mirror.


Soooo I had a series of Flab jabs (which break down your fat cells) here's my before and after......I do still need another one but they are £250 a jab so I'll have to wait until after christmas.

AFTER

I shouldn't need my jaws wired closed afterwards although if they do decide it is necessary it will make me lose some weight which won't be a bad thing! Right now though it all depends on me getting another well paid job as none of this is covered by insurance or the National Health Service. The crowns alone will cost about $12,000, and an implant will add another $5,000. Jaw realignment surgery will cost in the region of $20,000.

I'm sorry if I seem rude for asking, but I'm a dental assistant and a practice that does orthodontics, and I am just wondering, why don't you do orthodontics? They can correct crossbites, overbites, underbites, TMJ problems, etc etc etc. And it's usually only about 5,500 USD. Of course, they won't be as pretty as veneers or all porc crowns... but still, natural teeth are in

I've already had orthodontics and I still have a significant overbite. That's why procedures like Le Fort osteotomies and bilateral sagittal split osteotomies have been developed. Pulling my lower jaw forwards with orthodontics would compromise my TMJ which has the correct presentation and gives no problems and pulling the upper incisors back would cause me to have retrocline teeth - they are only vertical as it is rather than having a forward incline of about 6° which is more normal. As a child I had my first premolars removed (it was a common procedure in those days) and this led to a collapse of the dental arch on the mandible. The mandible is shorter than it needs to be for the length of the maxilla. I hope this answers the question.

I am having my breast augmentation (BA) the first week of December and I could not be moer estatic! I've waited quite some time and finally the time is near.

Breast surgery does seem to be incredibly popular with over 78% of those who have voted selecting it.

You know your dental words hehe. I have TMJ too and it was caused by them removing my 1st bicuspids when I went through ortho as a child. My fault really, I wouldn't wear the appliances that they gave me and they told my parents the only way they could create space unless i wear my stuff is if they pull some teeth. Plus it was less expensive, so it was a go for us. Now I have a really narrow arch (the smallest impression trays at work do not fit in my mouth, i have to bend the plastic ones into a custom shape) and bad TMJ problems.

Good luck though!

Ewww. No offense, but I would NEVER. Tattooed makeup is sooo NOT for me. My problem is just that my hair is sparse and thin - always has been but overplucking in my youth made it worse. On top of that, it's blonde so even when I try to dye the hair, it makes no real difference because of the sparseness.

Unfortunately, I don't think that'd work for me either. My leg hair is really thin and barely there just like my brows. What is "nape" hair?

Yes, I still laugh when I think about it.

I also discovered broken capilleries on my face in my early 20's (thats when I started to wear foundation). I have a bunion! Hair removal. When my son was 5 he touched my face and said "Mommy you're a hairy girl". dont you just love how honest kids can be : P

Also, I'd like to be able to run and jump without bouncing all over the place.

I hear you! Most people think to have big boobs is a good thing. But they get in the way and I have to buy size 12 shirts just to fit around. But my jeans size is much smaller. I hate feeling like Pamela Anderson!

 

[stacey]

after my last kid I want my boobie job (perky & cute) haha.. but that might be in like 5 years (3 years for my next and last kid). also, do they have stretch mark surgery? or is it just laser? cause I want that also after all my kids. oh and i hate my calves cause they're so muscular and big (like my dads) i want those smaller, but I dont think they can remove muscle, can they?

 

[martygreene]

I voted breast reduction. Personally, I wouldn't have put that and breast augmentation in the same group, but that's me.

Well I only had ten categories permitted and I tried to cover most procedures folks were likely to be interested in. I see nobody has opted for facelift yet but that no doubt reflects the age distribution here.
