Queen Bee Junkies February 4, 2009

Cosmetic surgery is a medical surgery subspecialty dealing with the enhancement and reconstruction of the physical appearance and some body parts.     As a matter of fact, there are many people who indulge themselves to this kind of medical procedure.     But most of the time, the patients who really wants to be good looking are wom en.      In fact, some of them haven’t had a surgery not only once but many times.      That is why, some women who had undergone cosmetic surgery many times are referred to as cosmetic surgery queens.    Funny, isn’t it?    But it is actually true. Who would want to be called as “Ugly Betty”?    No one, right?

Though cosmetic procedures are susceptible to risks and has mental costs, still, there are many women who wants to undergo such procedures.    No one can blame them if they are dead serious with regards to enhancing their physical appearance. Aside from it really adds to whatever beauty they have from within, it also adds to their confidence to face anyone everyday. The new look that they have achieved after the procedure boosts their long-term interpersonal relationships with their relatives, friends or even acquaintances. With these feelings that they are gaining, there is nothing that can prevent cosmetic surgery queens to have another aesthetic medical procedure.

They are sometimes called by critics as junkie because of the yearning to look good every second of the day. The craving for a certain cosmetic procedure is being felt by women of 30 years above.    It is because the skin in the face tends to loosen and the fats in the tummy and arms are very visible. Nowadays though, some teens are also into the procedure. With regards to teens, of course, permission of the parents are needed before a certain surgeon do his or her part as a medical practitioner. That is if he or she is a certified and qualified surgeon.

Some of the famous cosmetic surgery forms are facelift, liposuction, breast enlargement, facial resurfacing, and noselift. All these procedures cost a lot. As a matter of fact, the very first payment that you are going to pay is the consultation fee.     The cost of procedure depends upon the type and form of operation.

Most cosmetic surgery queens had many surgical procedures.     Some have 10 times, 35 times, 50 times and more depending on the contentment they feel with how they look physically.    If you will be going to ask how they feel before, during and after the surgery, you will surely be fascinated by the different stories that you can hear from them.    And you will be astonished by the reasons they have on having a medical procedure for aesthetic purposes.    Some would say that they had the procedure to have their loved ones and husbands back into their arms. Because their husbands are having an affair with much younger ladies.    For Asian women, the reason they have is because they want to achieve the western look.      Others want to enhance their beauty to look like a celebrity.   Still, others would say that they want to look tremendously wonderul unlike before to get even to those who belittled them.   Sounds fair to me!  Well, really beauty is in the eye and the pockets of the beholder, if you ask me!

The Man in the Mirror December 5, 2008

Vanity is not limited only to women as men nowadays embrace already the different options to look good, enhance their physical appearance and more. Men are now vain as women are. Obviously, the desire to be pleasing has crossed the gender boundary as there are many available and wide options for plastic surgery for men in the United States.

One of the most memorable “fountain of youth” experiences involved a man in my personal life.   The experience was the day I took a silly photograph with my brand new blackberry phone of a guy I knew – Phillip, while he was napping on his sofa.  Mind you, he’s no youngling fresh out of the chicken coop, but he was no lochness monster, either.  I was testing the mobile phone’s functionality and sent him a photo of himself.  Two days later, I was dumbfounded to find out he had been going to the “clinic” for mesotherapy treatments and it was my fault (the blackberry photo) that he had to go for treatments the following day because he didn’t like the way his chin looked. How ridiculous is that -?  That experience opened my eyes for the way that men have been looking at themselves in regards to the fountain of youth.   Since that experience,  I am no longer oblivious to men having botox treatments and plastic surgery to keep their youthfulness.

Also, that’s one definite way to keep up with the Joneses.
