Plastic Surgery Do-Overs on the Rise
You may remember Juju Chang brought us an interview last week with reality TV star Heidi Montag, who at 23 underwent a staggering 10 plastic surgery procedures in what most critics called a desperate cry for help. Now we meet "Martine," who has spent the past three decades trying to perfect her face, starting with a nosejob in hers 20s, a facelift in her 40s and now, a second facelift procedure. She is not alone. As correspondent Ryan Owens and producer Danielle Atkin report, the plastic surgery "re-do" is on the rise. Martine's doctor estimates more than half of his cases involve repeat work — with so many unhappy patients that he wrote the book "The Facelift Letdown." And it's not just the face — many women, like L.B., pictured above, are also having their breasts redone as those hands of time tick by. We'll have a closer look the revisionist plastic surgery trend, tonight.

People who don’t have any serious injuries, or other valid reason to alter their appearance, should learn to accept themselves for who they are.
Striving for physical perfection, is an exercise in futility, as aging will negate almost anything you do, sooner or later.

I wonder… if she can’t stand the outside (of her self) what loathing resides INside?? Talk about conflicted… I’d bet a hundred bucks that she’s very high maintenance… THanks, I stick with the woman who is friends with her self first and then me second… Her I can live with… otherwise there’s just too much game playing for me to feel good about the relationship.
