People planning to give their loved one a nip and tuck at Christmas could be risking more than upsetting their partners – cheap seasonal offers with time limits are not to be recommended, a top surgeon has warned.
Professor Peter Vogt, president of the German Society of Plastic Surgeons, said such offers, frequently available online, did not give potential patients time to consider what they really wanted done or the opportunity to get to know their possible surgeon.
“Strongly discounted offers for aesthetic procedures such as breast enlargement and liposuction lead patients to decide for an aesthetic procedure that they might never have considered without that offer, and with that, not think about the risks,” said the Berlin-based surgeon in a statement.
They are also often put under pressure to make a quick decision by offers with a time limit, he said, leaving no time for a patient to check out a doctor’s credentials.
“The patient must carefully check if the person making the offer is qualified to conduct the requested procedure,” he said, recommending that anyone considering surgery discuss the options with the potential surgeon – an option closed to people who have been bought a voucher.
“Because a patient has practically decided blind, the necessary patient-doctor discussion is missing. The voucher patient is taking the second step before the first,” he said.
The purchase of a voucher commits patient and doctor to a procedure before they have talked about what is medically advisable or what the patient wants, he said. The pressure to have the procedure done is also particularly high as the voucher has been a present, he added, while the ethics of the surgeons making such offers should also be questioned.
Boob job anyone?
Have never found the busting news link, damn I am always last.
Only one thing to call a woman like that.....
Darling. ;)
Never mind the trueblackman found it for me.
There's prescription drug for your problem; truth serum.
Then don’t use “kozy” either. In Czech it means ‘Boobies’
At first I thought a vet would help, but he said the job was too big for him.
Contact Loretta Bobbit, she is quick and cuts close to the bone
Are you boobing? NO boobing on this thread.
I wish it was a mere “ego” problem. Many people think I have a roll of fat around my waist and midback. It isn’t!
Or maybe just call her top-heavy
...too late...
And True...I don’t think that an entire pro football team could tackle those suckers...
With anesthetic I presume!
Just start dating taller women- problem solved.
Boy, talk about a gift that keeps on giving!!!!!

#1 women and men have the same number of ribs.
#2 That’s part of the Bible that is in error, the true story is:
After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve. “So, how is everything going?” inquired God.
“It is all so beautiful, God,” she replied. “The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the sights, everything is wonderful, but I have just one problem. It is these breasts you have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes. They are a real pain,” reported Eve. And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc., she felt that having only two breasts might leave her body more “symmetrically balanced,” as she put it.
“That is a fair point,” replied God, “but it was my first shot at this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured that you needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right away.”
God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it away into the bushes.
Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve in the Garden of Eden.
“Well, Eve, how is my favorite creation?”
“Just fantastic,” she replied, “but for one oversight on your part. You see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has a ram and the cow has her bull. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone.”
God thought for a moment and said, “You know, Eve, you are right. How could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will immediately create a man from a part of you. Now let’s see...where did I put the useless boob?”
Now doesn’t THAT make more sense than that crap about the rib?
Ich bin ein Booblifter
Looks like she got the volume discount!
