You don’t have to be a psychologist to know that American women
are obsessed with their appearance and constantly worrying about their looks.
We all want to know how to look pretty, how to look hot and even how to look
younger.
According to the American Society for
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, in 2016 over 4.5 million Botox injections
were performed, with the total price tag for surgical and non-surgical
aesthetic procedures topping 15 billion dollars. Only 9% of recipients were
men.
Allure reports that
2017 was the “unofficial” year of plumped-up lips. The predictions for what
will be hot in 2018 include the laser bra lift, the new Botox, upper and lower
eye-lid filler and customized labia (ouch!). My personal fav is the so-called vampire breast lift. As you
might guess, blood is involved. And here I was thinking Allure was cool
for banning the term
“anti-aging.”
