Before I tell you all this, let me just say I am not recommending this as a cure, it just happens to be a cool side effect. Recently reports have stated that people who underwent forehead lifts ended up significantly reducing the occurrence of migraines!

When a few people had the plastic surgery done for cosmetic reason, they reported the decrease in headache pain and immediately a doctor decided to figure out the cure. Now, they do the face lift at three specific pressure points to relieve the migraines. Not quite your over-the-counter remedy, and I’m not sure anyone should go this far, but I guess you never know.

Recently there’s been a new change in sentiment about the whole cosmetic surgery thing. There’s always been those people that swore by it, and even more that did it and lied, but now it’s this growing cultural phenomenon that just keeps on going. How can we tell? There’s a beauty pageant  in Hungary only for people who have had a major cosmetic surgery done. Yes, I said only for those who have had cosmetic surgery. And by major I mean having had at least local anesthesia, if not general!

I get why people have cosmetic surgery done, and I guess the whole pageant is just another way of gaining something off of the surgeries that won’t really stop anyway. But there’s something that seems a bit odd and a little creepy about the whole thing!

We always hear about all kinds of facebook drama, some of it much worse than others, and some that is just brutal. And to add to that list, the latest in facebook news: the woman who got plastic surgery because someone told her that her nose was too big via facebook!

The girl read the comment on her wall, and ran out of her door into that of a plastic surgeons office! One nose job later, the woman entered a beauty pageant and placed in the top three. Though the woman says that the commenter “did her a favor”, I think the story is kind of sad!
