As many women will know, killer heels may look great but may also end up disfiguring your feet. Therefore it comes as no surprise to hear that some cosmetic surgeons are cashing in on womens’ love of shoes by helping them achieve perfect feet.
The eyebrow transplant is one of the latest cosmetic crazes. Fashion these days tends towards strong, defined eyebrows and for those who have plucked their eyebrows into tiny lines, help is at hand!
The eyebrow transplant takes a couple of hours to complete and normally costs in the region of $4,000. Hair is taken from the back of the patient’s head and the follicles extracted. The surgeon will then make tiny incisions in and around the eyebrow to create the new shapes, with the holes specially angled to indicate the way the hair should grow. Follicle by follicle, the donor hairs are planted into these eyebrow holes with up to 350 needed per eyebrow.

Vaginoplasty is also known as vagina tightening. It is a surgical procedure that aims to improve the tone of the vagina by tightening up the muscles in the vagina and the supporting tissues around it. Many patients opt for a vaginoplasty operation after child-birth or after the menopause when there may be a distinct loss in the tightness and tone of the vagina, or just for those people who are looking for the perfect ‘designer vagina’.
