The Saggy Neck — Is plastic surgery the answer?
I used to have a long and graceful neck. In fact, at times, I felt my neck was too long. I actually stopped obsessing about that when I met ballet dancers and realized a long neck can be an asset (alas, it didn’t make me the Swan Queen…)
However, as I often model fashion on this blog, I have to shift through countless pictures of myself. Many times, if not outloud, than in my head, I think “Egads…whose NECK is that?” when choosing images to post. I resort to various techniques to camouflage my neck including PicMonkey airbrushing, scarves, and the famous “block the neck with the hand” pose.
Sometimes, I wonder–if I had the money or was willing to spend the money– is plastic surgery the answer? That always leads me to think about what plastic surgery procedures actually cost.
Plastic Surgery Costs for 2014
Anyone who is toying with the idea of plastic surgery will want to check the new website called www.BuildMyBod.com – the only place to get real time procedure pricing including all the extras like the operating room, etc. I find the blog especially useful as it details many procedures with pictures, costs, and aspects to consider.
Plastic surgery pricing can be very difficult to understand because there are so many factors involved such as the surgeon’s fee, OR fees, anesthesia fees, cost of implants (if any), post-op garments, cosmetic insurance, etc. Those factors are hard to include as a menu on a website but BuildMyBod’s patented system allows a plastic surgeon to enter fees for each procedure and take into account all of those variables. For example, OR/anesthesia fees depend on how long the operation is. The BuildMyBod system can alter the costs instantaneously to correspond to the procedure or procedures to give an accurate estimate.

This is really helpful and interesting. I had no idea some of the prices of surgeries, so it’s nice to have a general idea! Thank you!
I decided as soon as I have the money, I’m getting my boobs lifted….at 40 years old, I need a little lift!
