Why is it so difficult to find properly tinted cosmetics for African Americans? Where can I find good ones?

I am looking for cosmetics that enhance my skin tone, don't change color during the day and last a long time.Why is it so difficult to find properly tinted cosmetics for African Americans? Where can I find good ones?
perscriptives. at the mall. i LOVE their makeup. i had a guy friend take me once, and HE told ME that my face looked PERFECT! i was like WOW!!!Why is it so difficult to find properly tinted cosmetics for African Americans? Where can I find good ones?
Iman makes a line for african americans - I believe you can find it at JC Penny - also just plug in cosmetics for african american women on google and see what comes up
M.A.C has been making colors for dark skin tones long before any other companies would. they have an even broader collection now. support the original and get M.A.C.
M.A.C they have every single colour of skin tone.. and the makeup is beautiful and wont cause break outs. They have so many colours of everything, like lipstick and eyeshadow and especially blush, so many to choose from! They r the best!!
well gurl i am a straight ni*ga i dont where make-up because ****** r pretty without make-up all them other races got 2 where make-up 2 make themselves prettier we dont need make-up.
If you want a free demo on products. Go to either a Victoria Secret and/or Macy's store and they will help you find the right make-up and show you different ways to wear you make-up. It is fun!!!!
Try Fashion Fair and Iman

Does anyone recommend a good african american cosmetic line that give a natural look?

In Mary Kay we have many different colors and foundations to match anyone. Go to my wesite and do a virtual make-over. It is a lot of fun!!


Vickie HartzDoes anyone recommend a good african american cosmetic line that give a natural look?
Iman is good- she is a supermodel who created a makeup line for women of all colors after learning that when she would model she would have to bring her own makeups because they did not have any for her skin tone. Expensive, but good :DDoes anyone recommend a good african american cosmetic line that give a natural look?
Bare minerals. I use this, but I am not black. It comes in many skin tones though, It is by far the best makeup I have ever used.
For foundations and concealers, the lines that I feel have quality products *and* good colors for darker skin shades are MAC and Becca. Lines like Iman might be good but I haven't used their products to vouch for quality.





If you can't find a good match at cosmetic counters or at the drugstore, you might want to consider pro lines like Cinema Secrets or Graftobian, both of which are *excellent* in quality, both offer great coverage, both cost less than department store foundations (a PLUS!) and most importantly work with different undertones. I love both lines and feel their quality is equal to or superior to what you'd find in department stores. I've supplied links to both lines for you to check their color ranges.





If you want to know what lines are good for color (blush, eye shadows) then I'd say MAC is a really good choice.
Mary Kay
Pro Line made for, owned by, and produced by African Amer.
You can check Avon...they have a great line of products for all skin tones...
Get yourself an African American ';Avon Lady.'; Seriously, she can help you with everything. Look up ';Avon'; in the yellow pages, and ask for an African American. They are great!!Good luck!

Does anyone know what brand of cosmetics the American Gladiator contestants wear? Venus' was waterproof!!?

American Gladiators on NBC 2/11/08 Semi-finals. Venus make-up looked perfectly in place...even after taking a dip in the pool.Does anyone know what brand of cosmetics the American Gladiator contestants wear? Venus' was waterproof!!?
Try She-laq by Benefit (http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/gp/produ鈥?/a> ) It is a clear sealant that will keep shadow, mascara and liner in place.





As for foundation, try products from Make Up For Ever. (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jh鈥?/a> ) Every product they have is made from high quality pigments and will not budge.

    When did preservatives and synthetic ingredients start being added to american cosmetic and hygiene products?

    People didn't have the convenience of going to a supermarket and picking out face washes, shampoos, and feminine products back in the day. Now that preservatives and synthetic ingredients are highly being utilized, that has changed. Where did this all start?When did preservatives and synthetic ingredients start being added to american cosmetic and hygiene products?

    Is it cheaper to buy cosmetics from the airport than the city ?

    people tell it dont buy anything from the city when you are travelling. They say the best place is the airport. because it is duty free and it is better quality. What do you think ?Is it cheaper to buy cosmetics from the airport than the city ?
    It is definitely more expensive at the airport, and the quality is probably exactly the same as the quality you find at the mall. (After all, they are the same brands and products.).





    So why do people buy from airport vendors? The reason is because they are Duty free that way. What that means is that if you are an international traveler, you have restrictions put on you of how much stuff you can take back with you into your home country from an outside country. In some places, depending on the country, this isn't very much. I know for China, if you are not a Chinese citizen, you can't bring more than $500 USD worth of gifts, products, etc into china. So, if you bought it at the airport, it wouldn't count towards this total. That is the only advantage of buying the higher priced items thru duty-free.





    So, unless you are an international traveler, I recommend you buy the products you want from the mall instead of the airport.Is it cheaper to buy cosmetics from the airport than the city ?
    no way. everything i've looked at in an airport is overpriced.
    I don't think the airport is cheaper. It may be duty free, but everything is REALLY expensive. It also depends on which city you are going to, and what cosmetics you're looking for. If you get make up that is found in most drug stores, Wal-Marts, K-Marts, etc, then you can just go to that city's local Wal-Mart and get your make up at a reasonable price. If your make up isn't available at those types of stores, the city stores are probably still cheaper than the airport's prices.
    Nothing is cheaper in an airport!!! Items are purposly over priced to take advantage of people who will be stuck in the airport and have no other way of getting what they need! Besides, who wants to deal with traffic for just a few cosmetics!!!??????
    No. The airport would be the most expensive place to buy anything!
    no. for an example: in egypt, local, chips are 50 piasters (imagine 50 cents). in the airport, chips are 3 whole pounds! (imagine 3 dollars)
    The airport is completely overprice. Your best bet would be to buy it online, or in the City.
    definitely no its tax free but its either expensive or d same price not at alll!!!!!!!!!!
    i used to work in a little store in the airport and i can tell you something. NOOOOO. duty free is tax free but it is ussually the same or more expensive as you can get it in the market.





    ex. we used to sell perfumes. and ohhhh boy, i knew the prices they got the inventory. They really ripped off travlers because many people have that same preception.

    How did it work for you? Did you like it, how where the results? Does it irritate the skin? And what do you think about that ';long term results'; that claim is true?Have you girls tried City Lips by City Cosmetics?
    I love it. It really plumps the lips. I'd estimate that it makes them a good 15% larger. As far as long term results, I doubt that is true. It does irritate the area to which it is applied, which is how it works. Also, it is not sticky.

    Is paraffin wax safe to put in cosmetics or lip gloss?

    Pure paraffin wax is safe for use, but may not be the best choice as it adds little to a lip gloss formulation. Typically, lip gloss combines castor oil, beeswax, white petroleum jelly, glycerine, flavouring agents and preservatives.





    Paraffin wax can be used, but should be of the ';microcrystalline'; wax type rather than ';white'; paraffin (the type used to make candles).





    For other cosmetics, for example hair conditioner or pomades, white paraffin may be used.Is paraffin wax safe to put in cosmetics or lip gloss?

    I am going in for cosmetic surgery Tummy tuck but want to know what choices of sedation there are?whats safest

    Im 5'7 190 lbs going in for tummy tuck,lipo of hips


    I really dont know if I want general anesthesia I have NEVER had any surgery before..I think my surgery is suppose to be about 4 hours can you use local and a more short acting safer sedative other then general anesthesia? Thank you!I am going in for cosmetic surgery Tummy tuck but want to know what choices of sedation there are?whats safest
    I have witnessed this operation. GA is a good idea. I cannot imagine having any other option. Usually, an injection to relax you will be given first and then you should remember nothing about it. One night in hospital should be enough but you will require fairly strong analgesia for 24 hours post-op. I would ask your surgeon for GA definitely unless there is some strong contraindication in which case you probably shouldn't have the op anyway. Good luck.I am going in for cosmetic surgery Tummy tuck but want to know what choices of sedation there are?whats safest
    There are several forms of anesthesia:





    General: anesthesia resulting in amnesia, with a loss of protective airway reflexes. While usually administered with inhalational agents, general anesthesia can be achieved with intravenous agents, such as propofol. Amnesia is the main characteristic, while analgesia and muscle relaxation may be present, to varying degrees.


    Regional: Loss of pain sensation, with varying degrees of muscle relaxation, in certain regions of the body. Administered with local anesthesia to peripheral nerve bundles, such as the brachial plexus in the neck. Examples include the interscalene block for shoulder surgery, axillary block for wrist surgery, and femoral nerve block for leg surgery. While traditionally administered as a single injection, newer techniques involve placement of indwelling catheters for continuous or intermittent administration of local anesthetics.


    Spinal: aka ';Sub Arachnoid Block'; Refers to a regional block resulting from a small volume of local anesthetics being injected into the spinal canal. The spinal canal is covered by the dura mater, through which the spinal needle enters. The spinal canal contains cerebrospinal fluid and the spinal cord. The sub arachnoid block is usually injected between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, because the spinal cord usually stops at the 1st lumbar vertebra, while the canal continues to the sacral vertebrae. It results in a loss of pain sensation and muscle strength, usually up to the level of the chest (nipple line or 4th thoracic dermatome).


    Epidural: Regional block resulting from an injection of a large volume of local anesthetic into the epidural space. The epidural space is a potential space that lies underneath the ligamenta flava, and outside the dura mater(outside layer of the spinal canal). This is basically an injection around the spinal canal.


    Local anesthesia is similar to regional anesthesia, but exerts its effect on a smaller area of the body.


    Not all surgical procedures require anesthetic. Sometimes no anesthetic is required, and conscious sedation is used, which does not result in loss of consciousness or significant analgesia, but frequently produces a degree of amnesia, and relaxes the patient.





    According to a 1999 report from the Institute of Medicine, anesthesia care today is nearly 50 times safer than it was 20 years ago.
    ANESTHESIA IS ACTUALLY AWESOME- YOU JUST BLANK OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HAD SOME CHILLS BEFORE AND THEN YOU WAKE UP AND YOU DO NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING. IT'S HARMLESS- GET INTRAVENOUS OF COURSE YOUR ANESTHETOLOGIST WILL TALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCEDURE
    I'm not a doctor but I do have training in physiology... so here's my 2 cents:





    With a 4 hour operation involving lipo and manual realignment of skin folds plus extras I do not think I personaly would want to be alert and able to watch the carnage. If you have ever seen these procedures they are not pretty. Although you would probably be sedated with Diazepam or Ativan, you will still be alert to watch the docs fill bags with your bloody tissues. Anxiety might still creep in in leiu of the anti anxiety meds given.





    I would opt for GA for these procedures. You'll go to sleep and then wake up slimmer and tighter, and a little sore but withought mental trauma you would likely receive from watching the crew carve you up.





    GA is very safe. The Anesthesiologist constantly monitors your flow to make sure you stay in the correct range. I think of local as an outpatient only tool. If I am getting sliced open and it it serious enough to keep me in hospital for a period of time I always go GA.

    Transform, are the best.


    Most of the big celebrities also go there, such as Katie Price (its her choice to be huge!!) etc. they are very good and don't try to sell you massive implants if they don't think they'll look right on you.


    Very professional and about average on price.


    You could just go and chat to them and see what you think, they also do implants that look more real rather than Posh Spice.

    articles on nose jobs - http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0ge鈥?/a>How safe is it to have cosmetic surgery in China? Prices?
    do Not do it, they are not even licensed to do that kind of stuff. Anybody in china can buy a certificate saying that you are licensed. Alot of people leave the country to get cheaper surgery


    , and it can mutate or deform you. For sum it has been fatal.
    Before making a decision that, from the sound of things, can be pretty risky, I would try to contact legitimate, established firms in the field of cosmetic surgery for answers to these questions.
    The prices are very cheap! But as far as being safe?





    Is it safe to lick the toilet? Have you even been to a Chinese hospital? Does it look clean? Does it look safe?





    Do what you want, but try to be a little smart?
    I've lived in China for a short time and I have no/ few problems with the place, but i wouldn't get unneccessary surgery there.
    I would think twice before doing it, in Shanghai I hear that Japanese and Korean doctors will do a great job as far as local, not so sure about that
    cosmetic surgery can be risky anywhere


    Maybe you look fine with out it natural is the best
    I'd feel more comfortable having it done in India.
    Don`t do, find a good doctor.

    Are 100% organic, natural cosmetics really that safe???

    They might claim they do not contain any ';carcinogenic'; sulphates, parabens, etc BUT how sure are we that the natural herbs/extracts themselves are not just as bad???





    For example, i am looking at a hand cream which contains Yarrow. Yarrow, after prolonged use can increase the damage the sun does to your skin. It also contains a toxic element (although in tiny quanitities).





    Are they really safer than chemical cosmetics?? And are chemical cosmetics REALLY that bad for us??





    What would you recommend??





    Thanks for your help and comments!!!Are 100% organic, natural cosmetics really that safe???
    They are as long as you know there's nothing in them you might be allergic to. Try Bare Minerals. It's what it is, just minerals of natural coloring.Are 100% organic, natural cosmetics really that safe???
    Yes, sometimes alternative ingredients can cause side effects just as chemical ones do (although we must remember that even so called ';non-organic'; stuff has to come from a natural product at some point). However, not all ';organic'; cosmetics are safe and may contain baddies such as Parabens and Titanium Dioxide (these are just two ingredients I know of contained in most non-organic and a many organic cosmetics that may cause serious health problems over a period of time).
    we humans are made from the earth. our bodies contain things readily found in nature...in plants, other animals, the earth itself.





    all things that come in contact with your tissues (skin, eyes, hair, nails, lips..ect) are somewhat absorbed by your skin. for example, lotions are an obvious one. not so obviously, things like toothpaste chemicals such as fluoride can be found in your bloodstream after being absorbed into your mucous membranes of you mouth.





    your body doesnt know how to breakdown foreign chemicals that arent organically made and so these things are stored in your tissues (muscles, organs) and cause toxicity and can possibly (depending on the type of chemical...) cause cancer, growths, abnomalities of your tissues.





    some ';natural'; ingredients can also be detrimental to your body. generally your bodies are much better at breaking ';natural'; or oganic compounds down, therefore they can exit the body and not build up to cause the damage that it may cause in large quantities.





    unfortunatly most research on these topics is very bias by one side or the other, so many things you read may not be true at all.


    so when it comes down to it, it is your call.





    also: think about what happens to the cosmetics after you have them... most natural cosmetics are much more bio-degradeable than the ';regular'; counterparts. the companies that make the natural cosmetics are more likely to be committed to the earth (packaging, inks, production) than those that sell regular cosmetics.
    You must be very careful about claims of organic and natural - neither are necessarily safe. Eg you can get nettles which have no pesticides sprayed on them, but they are not safe. Snake venom is natural but obviously not safe.





    I have a number of articles you are welcome to read to see just how bad chemicals used in the cosmetic industry really are. Quite horrifying really! I was under the impression that if things were sold to the community at large then they must be safe - how wrong I was. Absolutely disgusting.





    There is only one brand that I know of which is safe to use. If you are interested in finding out more or would like to have a look at some research please email me at leanne27@aapt.net.au and I would be happy to help.

    http://www.cosmeticscop.com/learn/art.as鈥?/a>





    I am NOT affiliated with cosmeticscop.com





    For example, one of the MOST attacked ingredients I hear from people about as a soap maker, is Mineral Oil, and that it is ';BAD'; for skin, well, see what Cosmetic Cop says:





    ';The notion that mineral oil and petrolatum (Vaseline) are bad for skin has been around for some time, with Aveda being the most visible company to mount a crusade deriding these ingredients. According to many companies that produce ';natural'; cosmetics, mineral oil and petrolatum are terrible ingredients because they come from crude oil (petroleum) and are used in industry as metal-cutting fluid (among other uses) and, therefore, can harm the skin by forming an oil film and suffocating it.





    This foolish, recurring misinformation about mineral oil and petrolatum is maddening. After all, crude oil is as natural as any other earth-derived substance. Moreover, lots of ingredients are derived from awful-sounding sources but are nevertheless benign and totally safe. Salt is a perfect example. Common table salt is sodium chloride, composed of sodium and chloride, but salt doesn't have the caustic properties of chloride (a form of chlorine) or the unstable explosiveness of sodium. In fact, it is a completely different compound with the harmful properties of neither of its components.





    Cosmetics-grade mineral oil and petrolatum are considered the safest, most nonirritating moisturizing ingredients ever found (Sources: Cosmetics %26amp; Toiletries, January 2001, page 79; Cosmetic Dermatology, September 2000, pages 44鈥?6). Yes, they can keep air off the skin to some extent, but that's what a good antioxidant is supposed to do; they don't suffocate skin! Moreover, petrolatum and mineral oil are known for being efficacious in wound healing, and are also considered to be among the most effective moisturizing ingredients available (Source: Cosmetics %26amp; Toiletries, February 1998, pages 33鈥?0).

    THERE ARE OTHER PROCEDURES AS WELL BUT THESE ARE THE POPULAR ONES





    YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT A DENTIST IN YOUR AREA TO FIND OUT PRICESWht is cosmetic dentistry, pls cleary tell this, how much time n money it takes and how much safe it is.?
    Cosmetic dentistry is a discipline within dentistry in which the primary focus is the modification of appearance of a patient's oral cavity and surrounding structures, in conjunction with the prevention and treatment of organic, structural, or functional oral disease. Through cosmetic dentistry, the appearance of the mouth can be altered to more closely match the patient's subjective concept of what is visually pleasing.





    Materials





    In the past, dental fillings and other tooth restorations were made of gold, amalgam and other metals -- some of which were veneered with porcelain. Now, dental work can be made entirely of porcelain or composite materials that more closely mimic the appearance of natural tooth structure. These tooth colored materials are bonded to the underlying tooth structure with resin adhesives. Many dentists offer procedures to be cosmetic.





    Treatments





    Today's common cosmetic dental treatment options include:





    * Whitening, or ';tooth bleaching';, is the most commonly prescribed cosmetic dental procedure. While many whitening options are now available, dentist-supervised treatments remain the recommended procedures for lightening discolored teeth.





    * Enamel shaping removes parts of the contouring enamel to improve the appearance of the tooth.[1] It may be used to correct a very small chip.[2] The removed enamel is irreplaceable. It is also known as enameloplasty, odontoplasty, recontouring, reshaping, slenderizing, and stripping.





    * Bonding is an option for chipped or cracked teeth. It is a process in which an enamel-like dental composite material is applied to a tooth's surface, sculpted into shape, hardened, and then polished.





    * Veneers, ultra-thin, custom-made laminates that are bonded directly to the teeth, are an increasingly popular procedure. They are an option for closing gaps or disguising discolored teeth that did not respond well to whitening procedures.

    Can anyone share with me about e.l.f cosmetic? have not heard it b4. is it safe?

    i am interested to get the e.l.f plumping lips gloss but have just saw it online, not very sure about the brand and the website does not describe the products much. could anyone enlighten me? thanksCan anyone share with me about e.l.f cosmetic? have not heard it b4. is it safe?
    e.l.f. cosmetics are wonderful. They are only $1.00 a piece including make-up brushes. They have kits that are more expensive but have numerous items in them. They also have an assortment of make-up bags/cosmetic purses, etc. (Also, more than $1 a piece) but everything is priced VERY well. If you have a Target store near you, and don't want to pay for shipping by buying it online, go to the store and buy it there. Some of the items seem a bit small compared to what you're used to, but remember, it's only a buck! I'm quite pleased with my purchases so far especially considering the entire price of my purchase...for $14 I got (1) black mascara, (1) clear mascara, (2) lip bams, (1) lip stick, (2) make-up brushes (great quality brushes, btw!), (1) cover-stick and (1) eyeliner with sharpener and I got it all shipped to my house in 3 days! I would have paid that much at walmart for just foundation and mascara!Can anyone share with me about e.l.f cosmetic? have not heard it b4. is it safe?
    I've never used it before, but i read in teenpeople that the elf plumping lip gloss didnt really plump very much, but had a nice shine.





    if you REALLY want to get cheap cosmetics, do what i do and wait for maybelline and cover girl to go buy one get one free or 40% off, and usually you can find $2.00 coupons on the products somewhere like rite aid, eckerd, or cvs........most places will take a coupon off both the regular priced item AND the free item, so you're getting off super cheap...and they're good quality
    I saw a brief spiff on one of the fashion channels, it's made by a guy that saw how much his wife was spending on cosmetics so he made his own that is more affordable. The E.L.F. stands for Eyes, Lips, Face... I haven't tried them yet so I don't have any reviews to share but if they're as affordable as they said on TV it's not too much of an investment to experiment.
    Yeah, I ordered some lip gloss from e.l.f. It's just OK, nothing to write home about. And it took forever to come. The good news is it's dirt cheap so even if you hate it, you haven't lost much.

  • How soon is it safe to fly after surgery,also has anyone had cosmetic surgery in poland/cheq rep ?

    A safe margin is 48 hours;How soon is it safe to fly after surgery,also has anyone had cosmetic surgery in poland/cheq rep ?
    Cosmetic surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.





    Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

    Is it safe to have two separate cosmetic surgery procedures within a week?

    Hi my friend is travelling to Europe in a few weeks to get Rhinoplasty and a breast enlargement. She says that the company refuse to do both on under the same anaesthetic and therefore has had to book in for two procedures in a week. I am worried that this isn't safe as she is going to have to undergo general anaesthetic twice in such a short space of time. I'm worried she is going to put herself in danger by doing this. I can't seem to find any other info about this on the net, however, I am aware of people getting two lots of surgery under the same anaesthetic. Surely this is better?Is it safe to have two separate cosmetic surgery procedures within a week?
    Since each operation requires a recovery period longer than a couple of days, it wil be really unadvised to do both within one week. Look here for more on that: http://best-cosmetic-surgeries.com/the-p鈥?/a>

    I wanna try cosmetic surgery??is it safe??guyz answr!!!experinced ppl answr?

    For lipo, you should first achieve your goal weight through diet and excerise. Then, if you have excess SKIN, lipo can help. But just lipo without any muscle or toning will not make you look good.





    I have had a lot of procedures, although not lipo. It is very safe IF you go to a good surgeon who you have carefully researched. But every surgery has risks and the rewards must outweigh the risks. Although I am happy overall with my results, not everything I have done has turned out ';perfect.';





    It doesn't sound like you are in a position to rush out and get surgery. Take your time, lose some weight naturally, research doctors and their different methods, before jumping into everything. A good surgeon will tell you to lose the weight first and come back when you have. Any doctor who says they will help you now may not have your best interests at heart for the best result, they just want your business in these hard economic times for cosmetic surgery.I wanna try cosmetic surgery??is it safe??guyz answr!!!experinced ppl answr?
    I would love to get plastic surgery,but it is very expensive. The other person is right. Once its done does not mean sitting on the couch eating chips. You will have to exercise and eat healthy meals. Its a complete life change.


    I watch A LOT of shows about cosmetic surgery and there are risks, but it is relatively safe. You should have several questions for the doctor and ask how the procedure will go and always go for a second even third opinion Its not something you should rush into.


    You should also know some doctors won't do all the cosmetic surgery all at one time. So you would have to heal and go back in for the next procedure.


    I would like to have liposuction on my thighs,sides,butt, back and neck. I also want a boob job,a tummy tuck(which is very invasive I have seen it done to many times). I would also like some work on my face. Like lasers,chemical peel something to bring out that youthful looking glow.


    I have wanted this for about 10 years and my boyfriends thinks I am crazy. I would have done some cosmetic surgery if I had the money to do so.
    If you have that amount of fat it is because you have allowed yourself to get that way and plastic surgery will not be a permanent solution. You have to eat right and exercise, even after surgery. If you do not it will all come back again and probably more.





    Most plastic surgery is safe enough, but you need to get an excellent surgeon so do thorough research .
    you can die in plastic surgery! like kanye west's mom!!!!!!


    scarrry.


    plus, fat thighs is a stupid reason to get it, im my opinion. just go on a diet or bike.


    i biked and my thigh fat is very low now.

    I heard Xalatan can make eye lashes longer and thicker, is it safe to use for cosmetic reasons?

    (I am young and has no long term health issues. However, I do wear contact lens from time to time. )


    Will Xalatan increase eye lashes growth if the drops are only placed on the eyelids?I heard Xalatan can make eye lashes longer and thicker, is it safe to use for cosmetic reasons?
    I'm not sure if it would cause the same side effect with just being placed on the lashes - BUT you should not have xalatan unless you have an Rx for it and you should not have an Rx for it unless you have high iop (intraocular pressure) and if you do have high iop - you should be using it IN your eye...so...


    Don't use it for cosmetic reasons - it shouldn't even be an option available to you.

    If a cosmetic surgeon is telling me that I won't be satisfied with the result is it a safe bet to choose him

    I had a dispute with a military doctor against whom I reported. After that he became vindictive towards me and subsequently i was asked to get a clearance from a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist declared me medically fit for the procedure. Now since getting surgery from the same surgeon is out of question I approached one of his collegues in the same hospital,who seems to be very half hearted about it and says things like-'you won't be satisfied with the results'. It is a rhinoplasty. Sometimes he says that I don't need it, which is offcourse bullshit since his collegue only recommended it. I have a DNS as well as a bulbous tip. Now after dithering and procastinating for an year, after I approached him this other surgeonhas agreed to perform it. But still keeps muttering things like i told you you don't need it and all. Now will this attitude of his work in my favor (keeping his objectivity intact ) or against me (making him biased).He'll be doing it for free. What should I do?If a cosmetic surgeon is telling me that I won't be satisfied with the result is it a safe bet to choose him
    Do not go to this doctor...he can do anything he wants and after wards, claim it isn't his fault and he warned you. I don't care if it is free or not. I went through about ten doctors till i found a genius who gave me the most beautiful surgery I could have ever dreamed up..this is your appearance we are talking about, and he is a nasty person...save up your money, and go elsewhere, and do not make the mistake of going to this quack....email me and i will give you the name of a fantastic man.If a cosmetic surgeon is telling me that I won't be satisfied with the result is it a safe bet to choose him
    Go to a totally different surgeon that is not related to these other two.


    Also, try to find a lot of different doctors so you get a good variety of answers which, in the end will help you
    I would go to another doctor not associated with those 2.
    I would go consult another doctor. This is not to say that this doctor isn't right. He probably is. You sound like you want the proceedure and are going to get it no matter what. But I would want to know what another doctor says about the proceedure and whether you really need it. If you do, the question is whether to have it from the half-hearted doctor. I don't know if I would want to get it from a doctor who was half-hearted about it. On the other hand, just because he thinks you don't need it, doesn't mean he won't do the best job he can. But maybe another doctor has another way of doing it that the half-hearted doctor doesn't know about.





    As a rule, you should probably listen to your doctors, but you should question them as well.
    Correct me if I am wrong but the whole point to this is that you have to stick with this guy 'cause he is doing the operation for free.


    If you can pay for the operation or if you can get insurance coverage, I suggest you get another surgeon to do the operation. Theoretically speaking, if this man is a good surgeon and takes pride in his work , he will not let prejudice stand in his way. But why take a risk??

  • Cosmetic Leg Lengthening Surgery..safe?

    I'm 17 going on 18 and I'm 5'6''. I desire to model, but I need to be at least 5'8''. Is this surgery worth it and safe? I want to get it when I'm around 21, not now, when I'm sure I'm done growing and when I save up money, is it acceptable at any age? And how much and how long is the recovery time? Thanks in advance.Cosmetic Leg Lengthening Surgery..safe?
    um, i hope you are kidding!!!! you do realize that they actually break your bones and you will have large metal contraptions on the outside of your legs for MONTHS. those large metal contraptions are external so they can be used to physical pull your bones further apart one tiny small movement at a time. Seriously, this process can actually take years start to finish, and you will be confined to a wheelchair during the recovery (could be something like a year) The margin for error in this surgery is high and there is a great chance to leg deformity post surgery. Not to mention you will have some heinous scars. Bad Bad Bad idea......Cosmetic Leg Lengthening Surgery..safe?
    Kate Moss is between 5'6'; and 5'7';, Anyone would be a fool to say that she hasn't made it. Having a surgery like this doesn't guarantee that you will make it as a model, in fact it may hurt your chances, think a HUGE scar across your shins. If you got it you got it, slicing your body up will not change that fact. The fashion world is evolving, don't do anything drastic.

    Is cosmetic eye whitening safe?

    Four months ago I had surgery to remove a brown spot from the white of my eye, as it had grown over the years and became much darker. However my eye is now red, and i'm not sure the redness will ever fade. If this is indeed a scar, i'd consider undergoing cosmetic eye whitening. For those of you who havent heard of it, its performed in Korea: http://www.seereye.org. I know it might seem crazy, but there is no way I can live the rest of my life with one red eye. I was wondering, however, does anyone know if this operation is safe? If not, are there any alternatives?





    THanks in advance!Is cosmetic eye whitening safe?
    There are drops that can make your eyes white and prescription meds that can relieve the inflammation that causes redness.


    You need a second opinion first from a specialist (not in Korea) from an eye hospital like Bascom Palmer in Miami, Wills Eye or Wilmer Eye somewhere in PA or MASS.

    Has anyone gotten those online contacts..the kind that are just cosmetic? are they safe?

    just ordered some but read on net that they are illegal?...anyone out there know?...thanks...just wanted to put some color in my life!!!!Has anyone gotten those online contacts..the kind that are just cosmetic? are they safe?
    Be very cautious. If the contacts are not from a reputable optometry lab they could damage your eyes. Some of these cheap lenses are nothing more than curved plastic discs.which could scratch the cornea and distort or impare your vision. No sense taking the risk. A licensed optometrist will make sure contact lenses a properly fitted and safe for you to wear, even ones for strictly cosmetic purposes.Has anyone gotten those online contacts..the kind that are just cosmetic? are they safe?
    I've never used them, but I'm sure they're safe. I know people who've used them. I don't think they're illegal because costume sites sell them.
    don't use them!!!


    they aren't very safe!!!





    i've gotten color contacts but from a reputable company, acuve2 colors.. or freshlook colors...

    Is cosmetic surgery safe?

    i'm wanting a chemical peel and in a few years (after two more kids, or before i get married) i want a breast uplift. i've also been thinking about a tummy tuck but that'll be in at least 10 years. are they safe?Is cosmetic surgery safe?
    of course it's unsafe. just tone your body up with excersize!Is cosmetic surgery safe?
    All surgery comes with a certain amount of risk, but you can help yourself by doing plenty of research. There are some horror stories out there, so when you start looking into it, don't just go for the cheapest option. Ask your surgeon to provide photos of the work he has done and the credentials he has, and look on the internet for details of his reputation. Make sure you ask plenty of questions about recovery and what you can expect. You need to have 100% faith in your surgeon - if at any point you don't feel comfortable with him, take some time to think about whether this particular clinic is for you.
    I went for a consultation for rhinoplasty about 5 years ago. I had all my research done and thought about everything for years beforehand. Yet my to be surgeon handed me a photocopied printout of all the things that can and do go wrong during cosmetic surgery procedures. 1. Infection 2. blood loss 3. mild to severe scarring 4. DEATH.....ya, that's right........DEATH.....forget surgery.....waste of time and money.
    There is a risk with all types of surgery.


    You will need to discuss the risks with your surgeon.


    Make sure you go to a reliable surgery as there are quite alot of horror stories.
    with any surgery there is always a risk, but if cosmetic surgery was that bad and unsfe people would not have it done


    x
    Of course its not. Every surgery comes with risks. Its whether you want to take that risk.
    A chemical peel can take up to 6 months to heal. In the meantime you may look like Freddie Krugger. You are better off with laser resurfacing or filler injections.





    A breast lift %26amp; tummy tuck will be safe only if you go to a plastic surgeon.


    A cosmetic surgeon is just a GP who may have done as little as a weekend course.


    A Plastic Surgeon has done an minimum of 8 years training/studying on top of their medical degree.





    They both cost around the same, but the plastic surgeon is the better option by far. Do your research, have as many different consultations with as many surgeons as you like. Pick the one you are comfortable with %26amp; make an informed decision.





    Edit: In the meantime you may want to try microdermabrasion for your skin. It will exfoliate %26amp; suck up all the dead skin cells %26amp; unclog all your pores. That will change your skin dramatically %26amp; stop your breakouts : )

    Any recommendations on a safe and good place for cosmetic surgery, like a tummy tuck in Illinois-Chicago are?

    Tummy tuck surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Tour2india4health Consultants .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

    Hope this helps.Any recommendations on a safe and good place for cosmetic surgery, like a tummy tuck in Illinois-Chicago are?
    A journey to India when you're looking for procedures in Chicago seems like the long way around to me. From personal experience, I think Dr. T is the best qualified plastic surgeon in Chicago.

    and so is my pic.lolIs it safe for me to have '; bariatric cosmetic surgery '; ?
    with every surgery there is a risk.
    which type of surgery were you looking to get? there's the stapling, lipo, tummy tuck... it's hard to answer a question without knowing what kind.
    I dont think any type of cosmetic surgery is wise, as you said you have lost weight-you should be proud of yourself and happy to be who you are! At the moment you can tell people you lost the weight all on your own, but if you have surgery your nothing but a cheat! lol everybody wants to be perfect but you'll never be perfect enough, therel always be something you want to change, so dont get stuck in the vicious cycle!

    Cosmetic surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

    I want to know if cosmetic surgery is safe and permanent ? it has any side effects ?

    Before undergoing liposuction certain criteria must be met:


    An initial patient consultation. This will include a history, a thorough physical examination, and a psychological health examination.





    A second consultation is necessary to give one time to think over the surgery.





    The patient should feel free to express the reasons for the consult, be free to ask as many questions as desired, and feel satisfied with the answers to those questions. A properly informed person makes a better patient.





    One must understand fully the pre-operative preparations, the liposuction procedure, and the precise post-operative care.





    One must have realistic expectations. Liposuction may help to enhance one鈥檚 appearance and also one鈥檚 self-confidence, but it will probably not give an ideal body.





    Certain pre-existing conditions should be thoroughly checked and brought under control before any surgery, including liposuction:








    History of cardiac problems (heart attack)





    Hypertension





    Diabetes





    Reactions to medications (allergies)





    Pulmonary problems (shortness of breath, air pockets in blood stream)





    Allergies (antibiotics, asthma, surgical prep)





    Smoking, alcohol, or drug use


    There are also inherent risks associated with liposuction:


    Shock (usually from inadequate fluid replacement during the surgery)





    Fluid overload, usually from the procedure





    Infections





    Bleeding, blood clot (thrombus)





    Fat embolism (tiny globules of fat in the blood stream that block blood flow to tissues)





    Nerve, skin, tissue, or organ damage or burns from the heat or instruments associated with liposuction





    Asymmetry (uneven fat removal)





    Drug reactions or overdose from the lidocaine used in the procedure





    Scarring (skin surface may be irregular, asymmetric, especially in the older patient)I want to know if cosmetic surgery is safe and permanent ? it has any side effects ?
    Cosmetic surgery is safe to do and it also removes skin rashes as well as skin darkening . It has some slight side effects. You need to consult a cosmetic surgeon before doing a cosmetic surgery.I want to know if cosmetic surgery is safe and permanent ? it has any side effects ?
    um. yea its permanent. i mean. hello. its surgery. i mean, i suppose you could get it reversed, depending on the procedure. annnd its probably does have some side effects, and even if it doesnt, there is probably a good amount of pain involved.
    Maybe you should look a these for a while: :)

    My mother wants to have cosmetic surgery in Thailand... Safe?

    My mother is planning on travelling to Thailand to have cosmetic surgery on her nose and a minor face lift, I would prefer she just leave herself to age naturally but its her desicion. Anyone reccomend a good surgeon/ surgery that I can atleast help her in finding someone reliable. Thank youMy mother wants to have cosmetic surgery in Thailand... Safe?
    There are several international standard hospitals in Thailand - I would recommend one of these as any operation will carry a degree of risk especially if you were to have an operation in England. If she would prefer somewhere a lttle less frantic than Bangkok she could try the AEK Hospital in Udon Thani - I only know the dental clinic there as I was renting one of their apartments for a month for a holiday.I had some emergency dental work done ( on a Sunday ) I guess the high number of ladyboys in the country means the surgeons have plenty of experience !!My mother wants to have cosmetic surgery in Thailand... Safe?
    Firstly like anything, you get what you pay for ...especially in Thailand.


    Thais are FANTASTIC at anything fake, fake tshirts, shoes, nokias, rolex's, boobs! the list goes on.


    There are horror storys sure and some of them true but there are these storys everywhere. Once she gets here she should definitly only consider at least semi expensive surgeons (once again you get what you pay for)


    Thailand has a blossoming industry in cosmetic surgery and some of the best and most affordable surgeons are here. (please read my other answer regarding sex change and ladyboys). As I myself have not had any surgery of this type I am reluctant (though I will mention a few who are known to me though i cant say how good they are) to refer to anyone however your embassy should be able to help. Last time i looked for someone Google came up with plenty of good ones.


    Chulalongkorn university would have some good leads and has some of the greatest medical minds in the country. (Tammaset and Khon Kaen university have v.good medical facultys to if it comes to checking credentials) Burmigrad hospital is one of the better hi-so hospitals in BKK. (there are lots though)


    I would personally be looking though for a surgeon who has been trained in the US, CAN, AUS, Europe,NZ, Japan though and be checking credentials as well as contacting satisfied customers. The surgery she is getting sounds relatively minor anyhow and should be rather cost effective in Thailand. Some of their best people are in Sex reasignment.


    he is well known with a good in country rep

  • Are Wet N Wild Cosmetic products safe to use even though they're made in China? ?

    I use and love their liquid eyeliners but I've been hearing so many stories about things made in China being defective..should I avoid using this brand? Are Wet N Wild Cosmetic products safe to use even though they're made in China? ?
    Practically everything is 'made in china' - So the answer is yes. A lot of leading cosmetic companies are made in china, and they are perfectly reasoned.





    It all depends on your skin type, Please dont persist to use these products if irration is resulted and i recommend to approach your doctor.


    :)Are Wet N Wild Cosmetic products safe to use even though they're made in China? ?
    wet n wild is bad for your skin. it contains harsh chemicals,dyes and fragrances that aren't going to benefit your skin. Try and look for another line that has the colors you want but more natural made.
    yeah, there fine, i love their products :]


    but if you ever experience any kind of reaction, stop using the product and consult a physician.
    It's just fine, do you have ANY idea how many things are made in China?! :) I've been using a lot and it is just fine! Do not worry whatsoever!
    They are safe!
    its perfectly fine. try it and if u see major changes in your face give it back.

    Some people these days are going over to other countries to have cosmetic surgery done, Just how safe is it?

    and what countries would you go to?Some people these days are going over to other countries to have cosmetic surgery done, Just how safe is it?
    Cosmetic surgery is very safe nowadays. There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges Tummy tuck, Liposuction surgery for foreigners in India.

I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients, as all surgery is not covered by insurance or by the stinking NHS.

    http://www.fly2india4health.comSome people these days are going over to other countries to have cosmetic surgery done, Just how safe is it?
    It is not safe at all. That is how people get really sick from botched surgeries and they usually come back with the surgery messed up and have to pay more to get it fixed in the us. It is not worth it at all.
    I would only go in the USA.





    Personally I would not use any company that is out of the country.





    They say they are cheaper, BUT, think of the costs.





    Passports


    Airfare


    Hotel Reservations


    Rental Car


    Food and drink


    Hospital and surgery fees





    There is also the point that you should NOT be flying after surgery for at least a month.





    Then, what happens if you happen to have complications?





    What if the doctor was negligent? How much red tape would you have to go through in order to get rightfully compensated for another country's doctor's negligence.

    How Safe Is Platic / Cosmetic Surgery???

    I always watch those scary programmes on TV which show surgery cases gone completely wrong and the people are scarred for the rest of their lives. This has always made me reluctant to get surgery.





    I want to get surgery to give my face sharper and more masculine features. I want to bring out my jaw bones and to give myself a sharper chin. Although I don't wanna end up like Freddi Krooger if the whole thing goes wrong. LOL





    How Safe Is Platic / Cosmetic Surgery???How Safe Is Platic / Cosmetic Surgery???
    I have never heard of platic surgery, but to be honest with you it seems risky. I would do my research. Bupa also does cosmetic surgery, and personally I would be less frightened about trusting them.





    http://www.bupahospitals.co.uk/asp/cosme鈥?/a>How Safe Is Platic / Cosmetic Surgery???
    That is a very good point. If I will get it, it is better to get it done at a quality and reknowned place like Bupa. Although at the moment, being just a graduate I am looking for a job. So I must wait a bit in order to accumulate the 拢拢拢 that are needed. LOL Report Abuse

    Plastic Surgery is considered safe.You have to make sure you get a reputable clinic.
    It depends. All surgery comes with risks, but generally plastic surgery isn't as risky or dangerous as say, open heart surgery. However, all plastic surgeries are not the same and they each carry certain levels of risk. For example, a nose job is not as dangerous as a tummy tuck.
    the surgery is safe only because of the surgeon ..





    Do your research ensure he is on the baps list (British association for plastic surgeons) if you are in the UK and likewise elsewhere ..





    Research is the key .. you would not buy a car if it had no engine ..





    All surgery comes with risks .. but it can be worthwhile .. oh and if it is cheap warning lights should be flashing
    It's called PLASTIC surgery. It is very safe, but of course it is surgery so there is ALWAYS some risk involved. The amount of risk will vary based on what procedures you choose to under go and who preforms the surgery . You obviously want to choose a surgeon in your area with a proven track record. Ask your primary care dr, or family care physician to recommend one to you then you can set up an appointment with the actual surgeon and ask him or her about all of the concerns you have and get more info on how it all works.
    I too watch these programs but mine was for research.


    I went under the knife so to speak in Feb and it was great,I took the time to find a surgeon who I felt would do what I required from him, I spent a good 6 months researching whether to go abroad where it was considerable cheaper than here but in the end had it done 10 miles from where I lived as felt this would be safer. I had a tummy tuck where this is relatively safe I did have problems with the draining after the operation. fortunately as I went with bupa it was all included in the cost when I should have been in for 4 nights ended up staying in for 9 I had my own private room and bathroom with all mod cons and a cleaner. I had to return one a week for a month to be drained off where the fluid collected in the tummy (it sounds worse that it was) it was just a needle put in and gently syringed away.


    the pain was just like having a very bad period but I am really happy with the results.


    l would recommend my surgeon with bells on
    Hello,





    (ANS) I come from a medical family (both my parents worked for many years in the N.H.S) and I worked in a well known major teaching hospital here in Leeds. I have seen many people who have had both plastic and cosmetic surgery for cases such as facial tumors i.e. cancer's etc.





    **I cannot say there are No! risks at all to cosmetic or plastic surgery because that's clearly untrue. However, I have to say in all the six years I worked next door to the operating theaters in the ITU I never saw a case go badly wrong.





    **I think if you're prepared to pay good money %26amp; realistically probably quite a high fee too. For the skill of an experienced maxio-facial surgeon then the end result is probably likely to be pretty good or extremely good.





    However, if you not prepared to pay for a senior %26amp; highly skilled surgeon then I think the risks are much higher and the out come of the surgery less assured. In other words you get what you pay for.





    **So as far as my experience of seeing plastic surgery patients post operatively this type of surgery IS quite safe in general terms.





    Ivan
    cosmetic surgery is VERY safe if you thoroughly research the companies, surgeons and ask to see certificates that they are on the medical board of doctors. also ask for reccommendations from their past clients, not just through an e-mail but over the phone or face-to-face, common sense will tell you that the people with horror stories are the ones that let themselves be butchered with a kitchen knife down a dark alley. transform medical clinic is a good one, i can myself reccommend them :-)
    Plastic Surgery, like all surgery is not without its risks and complications. That said, the chances are so slim with modern surgery and anaesthesia that you shouldn't really be dismayed by a few fearmongering television shows.

    Is it safe to sleep in cosmetic contacts??

    i slept in them so i would not have to put them back on in the morning. Is that safe?Is it safe to sleep in cosmetic contacts??
    No, it isn't. Sleeping in contacts that are not designed for it can cause dammage to your eye. Do not do it.Is it safe to sleep in cosmetic contacts??
    It is not safe because you run the risk of infections. Some infections are severe enough for you to lose vision. It isn't the 'end of the world' though. Most of the time, you just dry out the contacts, and your eyes feel like they are 'burning' for a few minutes to an hour. Now, if you feel pain, light sensitive, redness, loss of vision, and/or have a lot of mucus build-up, go right away to an eye doctor to get it checked out.
    they can get dried and then in the morning they will be stuck to the back of your eye and you can't get it out.
    No, not at all.
    i wouldnt you will dry your eyes out


    it is best to just take them out.

    tell me of some other sites please.How do i know that the cosmetic or product i'm using is safe?
    if u buy a good brand then certainly safeHow do i know that the cosmetic or product i'm using is safe?
    Safe for who? If you want to know if it is safe for you as a consumer it is best to test a product before you buy. Just put a small amount of the sample makeup on the side of your hand and let it settle to see if a rash appears. If so I would no recommend you buy it.


    If you mean safe as in not tested against animals, then research the manufacturer or buy products that state so on the label.

    Dentist in the west will tell you it's a bad idea to do your dentistry in Thailand, because they are losing business to Thai dentists. The above response appears to serve a personal interest. Do more research on dentistry in Thailand. Report Abuse

    yeah, it's cheap, but i'm not sure if it's all reliable. i'd mos def get a list of some docs and check their credentials out. have you tried mexico??
    www.phuket-health-travel.com
    It is cheaper. Reliable I don't know. There are some high quality practioners in Thailand trained by the best in the field. How to find them is what you really need to know. The reason they are less expensive is the cost of living and the lack of liability laws.





    Good luck
    On the whole, cosmetic dental work is reliable in Thailand. Go with a known, chain clinic or hospital and you will get professional services of high quality. Thailand is going for boutique hospital and dental services in a big way these days. It IS as cheap as they say it is, so get it while it's hot. Having said this, I have to add that Thai laws lag far behind most of the 1st world as far as consumer protection goes, but the proportion of people receiving sub standard care to those that get it done right makes the risk element very slight indeed. It's easy to shop around here (I'm living in Thailand) and private medical/dental is superb. Go for it.
    It is, provided that you use a reliable dentist. I've been living in Thailand for 4 years and I've used a Thai dentist for routine services as well as crowning. I'd suggest you choose one that is fluent in English and preferably educated and trained in the US.





    There is also an American dentist (retired USAF Col) who has a dental practice at JUSMAG (Joint U.S. Military Advisory Group). He is fees are considerable higher than Thai dentists.





    As for cost, Medical and dental expenses in Thailand are a fraction of what you'd pay in the US. Example = a root canal and a 4 tooth crown cost me 3000 Thai Baht (Approx $75.00) The dental equipment is modern, same as you'd see in the US, quality of dentisry is also the same.

    Jesus Christmas I'm fat and getting fatter. Would any cosmetic surgery be safe for me?

    cosmetic surgery like liposuction or a stomach stapling? Also, I'm one of those geeks who only worked out back in gym class in high school.Jesus Christmas I'm fat and getting fatter. Would any cosmetic surgery be safe for me?
    You should love your body for what you have. Don't be so harsh to say that if your fat you need surgery or to immediately get rid of it. Try healthy dieting first, cut out soda, chips and any junk food. Go for a fast paced 30 minute walk, while listening to your favorite music. There are a lot of risks in going into surgery without considering it fully, also it is very expensive. Add some healthy elements into your lifestyle, and watch your weight decline. If you really think weight loss is a problem with your health, talk to your doctor about some resolutions. You only have one life, so don't fret about being fat and just enjoy yourself.Jesus Christmas I'm fat and getting fatter. Would any cosmetic surgery be safe for me?
    Hey.. did you know surgery can be very dangerous? Kanye West's mother died the day after she had plastic surgery.. On the news the other night woman got a tummy tuck from a scammer/fraud/whatever you want to call it, He was a famous plastic surgeon, and her tummy tuck fell out THREE TIMES. You should really just diet and excercize. You may be wasting 30 grand on a fraud surgeon!
    Is there the possibility that you really need to take a walk? Any exercise it better than none. Set aside a few minutes a day and walk around in the park. Eventually, you'll be walking up to an hour each day. See the world for real, instead of looking thru the electronic window! If the weather is poor, save the time and take a longer walk the next day.
    Providing the surgery is done by a real medical doctor (please check out his or her credentials!), these procedures are probably no more risky than any other abdominal surgery.





    What you need to know is that those are both temporary solutions. If you don't modify your lifestyle to eat a better diet and get the proper amount of exercise, you will gain back the weight you lost.





    Liposuction only removes some fat that is easily accessible. It doesn't stop you from continuing to gain weight.





    Any of the bariatric procedures (e.g. ';stomach stapling';) can be defeated easily, if you don't discipline yourself. So your new stomach only holds an ounce? What's to stop you from drinking milkshakes all day, an ounce at a time? Nothing!





    The only truly safe and effective way to permanent weight loss is to eat less, eat better quality food, and exercise more. Please consult your doctor for advice on how to start. If he or she can't (or won't) help you, go to your nearest gym and sign up with a personal trainer. Many of them are experts in diet and fitness.
    Surgery is dangerous and should only be done as a last resort. You need to try diet and exercise first.
    ur pethitc for saying that!!

    Is cosmetic surgery in a foreign country safe?

    I always hear bad things about it but im sure there are places that provide safe and effective procedures right? I checked out a place in Margarita Island. Here's the website.

    It seems as though its legit since there's a number to reach them.Is cosmetic surgery in a foreign country safe?
    No surgery is ever completely safe.





    However, there are no guarantees.





    Best bet if you want someone carving you up to make you look better is to get references and check them yourself (as in - former patients.)Is cosmetic surgery in a foreign country safe?
    To begin with - that depends on which foreign countries you just might be talking about - because I am sure their will be many that you do not need to go anywhere near. Having a phone nunber does not make any place legitimiate. You need to ring the accreditation board or the surgery board and perhaps consumers complaints/affairs to determine whether or not this place is considered appropriate for what you want. Even insurance cover does not make it legit. You need to know if they are recognised as a practise and if they are registered to practise dong what they state they do. You need to make sure that the surgeons etc are all qualified and that their quals are recognised and not from some dinky die dogey online or 2 week course etc. If you want to find someone external who is legit the ask at a hospital where they may do similar surgery if they have a list of surgeons in other areas. Hope this helps.

    Is it safe to wash my cosmetic bags in the washing machine? If not, any suggestions on how to care for them?

    I usually wash mine with mild soap and warm water. Last time I put it in a washing machine. It kind of died.Is it safe to wash my cosmetic bags in the washing machine? If not, any suggestions on how to care for them?
    Depends on what they are made of. If they are plastic lined then NO WASHING Machine for you. Then you must spot clean them and that's a pain so I usually buy new. If they are not plastic lined they should have cleaning instructions attached.Is it safe to wash my cosmetic bags in the washing machine? If not, any suggestions on how to care for them?
    I have... on the ';gentle'; cycle. I threw them in the dryer, too.





    You can wash them by hand and let them soak in hot water in the sink. Just make sure you get all the soap off. :)





    If it's just certain spots, I use baby wipes on the inside. Because makeup wipes tend to be oily... Baby wipes dont leave any residue.
