"Americans are rushing to get tucked, suctioned, tightened, and tweaked like never before. More than 8.7 million people underwent cosmetic surgery in 2003, up 33 percent from the year before, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. No longer a privilege of society wives and aging starlets, cosmetic surgery has gone mainstream, available to almost anyone with a credit card and some vacation time."

Why diet to lose weight when you can just throw money at the problem?

Liposuction can have complications.

Damn.

Yeah, I'm sure the makeover shows are to blame, but remember, these stats are from 2003.

I cringe at the thought of 2004 stats, with those makeover shows becomming Prime Time TV.

Ah, the patented Riprorin next-day trolling bump.

Well, it's easier to just drop a few K than a few pounds.

Actually, some people are attractive in the first place and just want to make themselves more so. I would think that in the future you'll have a greater gap of people who are really attractive and tweak themselves with plastic, and then everyone else.

Liposuction can have complications.

It can, but in most cases you'll be perfectly ok.
