FACE-LIFT. Expect 10 to 20 days’ recovery, plus bruising, swelling and sutures on your face. If you have rhinoplasty too, you’ll wear a nose cast for a week. Not pretty.
LIPOSUCTION. Sport a chest-to-knees girdle for a month to help tighten the skin. Beware of unnatural fat distribution if you gain weight.
BREAST AUGMENTATION. Implants can leak or rupture. Sure, they come with a warranty, but you’ll still need a second surgery to replace them.
And no improvement is forever. “Wait and see what a lip implant looks like in 20 years, when the skin retracts,” says dermatologist Amy Newburger of Scarsdale, N.Y. Finding a good doctor is key. Check plasticsurgery.org for a board-certified one near you.
