Frank Sinatra advised in the song Wives and Lovers: “Don’t send him off, with your hair still in curlers. You may not see him again.”
However, it seems that British women couldn’t care less after a survey showed they are the least likely to put effort into their appearance for the sake of men.
They have the lowest levels of concern in the world for what husbands, boyfriends and other male observers might think, with only 51 per cent caring whether men liked their appearance, the study said.

NATIONAL - Flat abs are often considered a sign of youth, and last year, almost two hundred thousand people had tummy tucks in the United States alone.
But it might not be too late to bring back a more youthful tummy without major surgery.
Nancy Bunt is a vivacious 40-something who wishes her abs matched her youthful outlook.
“To wear something more fitted, I just wasn’t, I wasn’t comfortable. So I decided to do something about it,” said Bunt.
She’s enlisted reconstructive surgeon Gerald H. Pitman to revive her abs using a procedure called lower abdominoplasty, or a mini tummy tuck.

Whether a person loses weight through diet and exercise or through bariatric surgery, there are a few problems that arise as a result of the weight loss. One that will be most noticeable is the loose skin that remains after the weight is gone. When someone is overweight, the skin stretches to accommodate the increased volume of weight. After weight loss, the skin often fails to tighten, and so it sags. In many cases, it hangs (especially in the arms, stomach, thighs, breasts, and buttocks). It acts as a constant reminder of the weight you once carried around. Exercise WILL NOT tighten skin (exercise never tightens skin - only muscles). The only way to tighten loose skin is through cosmetic plastic surgery.

Abstract:
Background: This study was designed to evaluate and compare the complication rates of patients having abdominoplasty without breast surgery with the rates of those having abdominoplasty with various types of elective breast surgery, including breast augmentation, breast reduction, mastopexy, and mastopexy combined with simultaneous augmentation.
…………
Conclusion: The results of this retrospective review indicate that combining elective breast surgery with abdominoplasty does not appear to significantly increase the number of major or minor complications.

Story c/o The Daily Mail
The number of middle-aged men going under the knife in the name of beauty has risen by more than 140 per cent in just five years as they struggle to come to terms with “menopaunch”, reveals a new report.
Men aged over 50 are forking out as much as £3,700 and taking weeks off work to undergo liposuction and other procedures such as eye bag removal (blepharoplasty) in a bid to remove stubborn fat, according to a cosmetic surgery company.
Figures produced by The Harley Medical Group show that liposuction - including work done on the abdomen, flanks, chest and chin areas - accounted for 24 per cent of surgical procedures for 50-something men.

NHS doctors are increasingly under pressure to perform cosmetic surgery for women unhappy with their looks.
New research reveals that surgeons are being cajoled into offering patients thousands of pounds worth of treatment they do not need. It exposes the lengths to which some women go to persuade surgeons to operate on them for nothing - using ploys such as unflattering make-up and clothing.
The study, to be published in the British Journal of Plastic Surgery, finds that surgeons are turning a blind eye to health authority guidelines, justifying the use of treatments only in ” justified cases” because of pressure from patients.

NEW YORK, June 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire
 The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) announced today that withholding oral intake of food in patients after abdominoplasty (”tummy tuck”) may not be necessary, and that feeding patients earlier could allow for quicker discharge after surgery. Findings from a study investigating the impact of early feeding after abdominoplasty on the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting is published in the May/June 2007 issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, the Society’s official peer-reviewed journal.
These findings are important because abdominoplasty is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure. According to the Aesthetic Society’s statistics abdominoplasty was the fourth most popular surgical procedure in 2006, with 172,457 procedures performed, an increase of 407% from 1997.

With summer well on its way belly button surgery (umbilicoplasties) is the hottest trend in cosmetic surgery currently. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) in excess of 8,000 belly button procedures were performed between 2002 and 2005. The exact figures however are not known since some umbilicoplasties are performed during a TUMMY TUCK and are not recorded. The most popular belly button requests according to the ASAPS were to turn belly buttons that protruded outwards inwards, that is, turn outies into innies.
Â
Umbilicoplasty surgery costs range from $2000 to $5000, and can last from between thirty minutes to an hour and a half.
