Dianna GBony shoulders a must in NY
August 21st 2008 02:00
NY surgeons are experiencing an increase in the number of their women clientele lining up for liposuction on their shoulders, citing the likes of anorexic-rumoured Keira Knightley and fitness-obsessed Madonna as their inspirations.
The procedure, which will undoubtedly hit the Oz market sooner or later, costs between US$4000-$10000 and involves an incision, a laser treatment to melt the fat cells before vacuuming them out. Recovery time is only a few days so women need not take too much time off from their exhausting shopping expeditions.
Just to rub it in, these women requesting these procedure are already fit and trim – either from having had previous work done on their face, chest, thighs, tummies or from vigorous sessions at the gym. It’s only that they are still somewhat unhappy with their overall body. Or, I suspect, they haven’t used up their daily allowance and have nothing better to do than stand in their gold-gilded, diamond-crusted mirrors, probing their body to look for slight imperfections they can ‘zap’.
Granted, the shoulders liposuction isn’t as useless or frivolous as, say, having your vaginal lips plumped up, but I can already tell where the market is heading. Before the year is over, I suspect I’ll be grudgingly posting a blog on NY surgeons experiencing a surge in liposuction on big toes or a feet make-over after complaints of ‘my feet look like a frog’s’.
Hm..do you really want shoulders like KK?

At least that's not the case in the Olympics... there's a lot of massive shoulder action going on there

Tracy, I don' t know if I'm more concerned because there are several NY women who have nothing more substantial to do with their money or the fact they want to look like Knightley.
Always Eighteen, I think athletes' bodies are ones we should all be aspring to have, instead of celebs on no-food diets.
James, I suspect it'll just get worse over the coming years...
Lara, you hit the nail on the head there. I think there should be a law where the less sense you have, the more you get taxed.
Michaelie, well, the procedure involves taking the fat out of your ankles (yes, I believe they're going to introduce a 2-for-1 plastic surgery) and inserting this fat into the pads of your toes to 'plump' them up. I hear coloured pads will be a future trend to, to meet the demands of the foot fetishes. They'll be calling it the 'toestick' and comes in a varieyt of glittering colours designed not to rub against socks and shoes.

Mich, I remember reading a couple of years ago that women were having their pinky toes removed to fit into pointy stilettos - eek!

Cheryl,
Holy shite. Strange concept of practicality there!
