A claw-style vending machine in Japan carries imitation breasts- perhaps for those who can't afford legitimate implants. Only in Japan. For now.

Jenny who is currently dating Jim Carrey, talks about her love for Botox in the recent Michigan Avenue magazine.
Botox is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the world, but soon to be competing with Reloxin from Medicis. May the best toxin win.
Can stitches be a thing of the past?
A California man is reported to have stabbed his ex in order to take away her breast implants. The 26-year-old woman sustained 6 stab wounds and deflation of her implants, which was corrected subsequently. More details here. Hope she didn't have any artificial joints or other prostheses he could go after.
Another one from the strange Japanese cosmetic gadget shelf: a breast roller. 10 minutes of rolling are purported to inflate the cleavage. Is it possible? Maybe if the trauma temporarily induces swelling. But unlikely to affect a long-term change. Here's the link for more pics.

Did you have more than your fair share of carbs for thanksgiving? Are you not interested in that tummy tuck or liposuction, but still want to fit into your Levi's? Then you may be interested in the Waistband Stretcher via SkyMall. It does just what it says. Which is refreshing in a way.
A Korean woman, reportedly addicted to cosmetic surgery, injected cooking oil into her face, leaving her severely scarred and disfigured. A very sad case, described here with photos.

Star Magazine surmises that Angelina Jolie had what she likes to term a "mommy tuck" after recently giving birth. From their story, "Sources tell Star that the 33-year-old actress fretted over the size of her stomach while she was pregnant with Knox and Vivienne. "She doesn't like to talk about it or admit it, but Angie told some friends that she had a 'mommy tuck,' " says a family insider. "She likes the way that sounds better than tummy tuck." "
It's common to have loose skin after delivery, but it may be wise to wait at least 6 months to see how the body will recover from being distended.
So, you want rounder buttocks but you don't want surgery. This is the answer: a mannequin butt backpack. Wearing one is not without risk- it tends to attract 'kick me' signs.
Do you care about NYC socialite plastic surgery stories? Nah, neither do we. But you can read about a $30,000 surgery bill and a New York Magazine slip-up here. Eh.
Another tool to sculpt the face with exercises is available on flexawaysystem.com. Sounds like a great idea, but it is extremely unlikely that you can get results like those shown on the site. Exercises may slightly strengthen muscles (though not likely to a visibile degree with the thin muscles of the neck) but they should not decrease fat at all.

It brings us back to the bogus facial resistance training, that we posted on here. Lately, there have been a lot of comments from people involved with a particular company that sells exercises and training certificates. Judge for yourself on these techniques.
