| Mall Offers Cosmetic Quick Fix
DALLAS -- A team of cosmetic surgeons is giving Botox and Restalyne shots in the oddest place. Forget the doctor's office, many North Texas women are coming to the mall for Botox and Restalyne, to a place called Klinger.
Getting Buy: The costs of plastic surgery Everyone, it seems, has something about themselves that they wish could be changed; a large nose, small breasts and baggy eyes are all common complaints. Plastic surgery has become more affordable and the technology has advanced dramatically over the last few decades. But can you afford it? One of the most popular procedures is breast augmentation (or, "boob-job" to the layperson). According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the national average cost for this operation is $3,360, or, $1,680 each. Keep in mind, that price DOES NOT include the operation room fee, which varies by hospital, anesthesia, supplies or the implants themselves. So you can plan on spending at least an extra $2,000 on top of the surgeon’s fee. Still think it’s worth the price? You must factor in the cost of prescriptions, time off of work (generally a week), new bras, which cost an ungodly $50 each, new shirts to fit your new sweater cows, and then there’s the time used to prepare an explanation.
Dark skin requires a light touch Michele Byers didn't have any skin problems. She just wanted to do something nice for herself as she approached her 50th birthday. Byers went to an at-home esthetician for microdermabrasion, a nonsurgical procedure that polishes away dead skin. After a session, bumps started to appear on Byers' face. Her cheeks were covered in pock marks. "It looked like a railroad track on my forehead and nose," says Byers, of Castro Valley, Calif. "Here I was trying to do something nice for myself and I ended up looking worse than I ever had in my life." .
