Plastic surgery. Two words that can be the catalyst to strong opinions and debate and two words that can change a persons life. It can increase confidence, boost self-esteem, and even fix serious health issues, such as breathing problems from a broken nose, or excess skin from extreme weight loss. Whether you are considering plastic surgery, have gotten plastic surgery, or are looking for non-invasive at-home fixes, we have gotten the rundown from the doctors at Colen MD Plastic Surgery, based in New York City…
Cheeks:
AT-HOME: For people who are apprehensive to undergo surgery, make up provides a less invasive option and allows us to cheat genetics. Smashbox Cosmetic’s Step-by-Step Contour Kit allows us to create more defined cheek bones or even a more sculpted jawline on our own. This 3-in-1 kit quickly adds dimension to the face with shades to contour, bronze and highlight. Blending shades correctly, and adding depth will leave you feeling younger and more confident.
Lips:
AT-HOME: If surgery isn’t for you there is always makeup to plump lips to create a fuller, more youthful look. Smashbox Cosmetic’s O-Plump Intuitive Lip Plumper is the surgery alternative to more desirable lips. O-Plump is loaded with Goji Berry-C Complex, Gingermint, ginko biloba, pomegranate and seed extracts. These combined ingredients react with your personal chemistry to tint your lips to the perfect shade of pink while instantly plumping to perfection giving you the lips you’ve been longing for.
Eyebrows:
AT-HOME: Again, there are other options for someone who may be more of a commitment-phobe. TouchBack’s BrowMarker delivers long lasting color to your brows that easily washes away. BrowMarker not only covers gray brows but can easily fill in sparse brows or create a higher arch with quick, upward strokes of this revolutionary marker in the same direction of the hair growth.
Hair:
AT-HOME: Being that permanent extensions cannot be changed too often and tend to be a bit pricey, there is always an alternative. Clip-in extensions are an easier way to create non-committal hair styles for anyone that is into the latest trends and newest looks.
Smashbox Cosmetics can be purchased at Sephora stores nationwide, as well as at Smashbox Online.
TouchBack Markers can be purchased online through TouchBack Online.
Clip-in extensions can be purchased at beauty supply stores and online, and come in a wide variety of brands, colors, lengths, and textures. Clip-in extensions come in both synthetic and human hair.

My friend had Plastic Surgery. But she had no choice. She lost 90lbs and she had excess skin on her tummy that sagged. Her breasts also sagged a bit too. She had a tummy tuck and breast lift. She said to was painful but worth it.

I agree Kimmie…sometimes its necessary. I’ve also known people who did purely for aesthetic purposes. If it makes them happy, then by all means!
