not all that strange - but two lip flips. Relatively fast and cheap. NOT fake looking, blubbery and nothing dramatic.

Strange because it does so much for so little.

What's the strangest quick, rather permanent change you've made to your body for beauty/aesthetics?

My first contribution to fashion and beauty!

I cut most of my left middle finger off with a table saw.

That was unexpectedly strange and quick. Took a moment for my brain to catch up to what happened. The finger was hanging by a bit so I wrapped it and the stump with the nearsest item which was a sock.

Took it with me to the ER, bone and tendon not salvageable so it became permanent

Not into injecting my body with fillers ... But happy it works for you

Cost



Lasting effect - between 6 and 18 months

Can't say that ~$10K (most of the face) every year is a "little".

Nothing. When I go to the Pearly Gates, I want God to recognize me.

We used to joke about breast implants and God would say, "WTH, I didn't send you down there with those!!" LOL

I had a large mole removed from my eyebrow... that's probably not strange.

Elnina - that is $10 for her ENTIRE FACE. If we are to believe that this model ever had anything done to her face at all. To me, she looks like a full faced 20-30 something. She has thick, plump skin. It looks like her skin. And she looks young.

Prices on cosmetic tweaks really vary with geography. I have a friend who's husband is Hungarian. They have a flat in Budapest. They travel there for their dental needs and have for years. There's a term for it - "cosmetic surgical tourism".

She lives in NYC and Grandview - On - Hudson NY. NYC, Los Angeles, South Beach FL, Dallas-Ft. Worth.

No one needs a flat in Europe to spend less on cosmetic procedures. Come to the Midwest. Maybe not Chicago.

I HATE inflated lips. A lip flip is not that. Your lips retain their natural shape. So if you are blessed with a delicate bow, you will retain the delicate bow. It will just appear a tad more prominent, less sunken, and more youthful. Any lines above the upper lip, from sipping with a straw, smoking, or pursing ones lips vanish or soften.

They do not look like rubbery, ill defined, enormous clown lips.

That is weird. At least you can still give The Finger.
