Snip a bit off, tuck a bit in ..
Article Abstract:
Physical attractiveness seems to enhance a person's chances of success. Surveys have indicated that the better-looking US presidential candidates won 95% of the time, while the brightest primary school students have also been the taller, better-looking and more proportioned than other children. People who are dissatisfied with some part of their body and feel that looking better can improve their earning power can consider cosmetic surgery. There are quite a number of medical procedures that can be undertaken to correct imperfections. These include a hair transplant for a receding transplant, simple snip-and-stitch operations for laughter lines and other wrinkles, liposuction for excess fat, breast implants for those who want a fuller figure and rhinoplasty for a less-than-perfect nose. However, it should be kept in mind that cosmetic surgery is not the solution to poor self-esteem, depression and other psychological problems.
