5 Plastic Surgeries/ Cosmetic Procedures You Didn't Know Existed

Take a gander at some of the latest plastic surgery and cosmetic treatment options the beauty-obsessed are trying on for size. Would you dare?

The procedure: Coolsculpting by Zeltiq What it is: Developed at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, it is the first non-invasive procedure approved by the FDA to reduce fat using cryolipolysis, a process that freezes fat cells.

How it's done: Using a patented device, a target area (like love handles) is sandwiched between two cooling panels. For up to three hours the patient lies on their side while the panels freeze the fat cells. Afterwards, the "patient's body goes to work" and over the next two to four months, the crystallized fat cells break down, begin to shrink, disappear then are completely eliminated from the body naturally. Results are permanent if you keep the fat off by regularly exercising and by eating healthfully.

Downtime: Zero. The procedure is non-invasive so patients can resume normal activities immediately.

Average cost: Varies from patient to patient but typically ranges from $650-$1200.

The Lashdip seems rather unnecessary, but still somewhat intriguing!

I have heard of a few of these procedures before on the doctors tv show.

I've Done It-quite a few years ago-lost a lot weight and the face sunk-had my whole face injected with my own fat and the results were natural and marvelous-the rest of the fat was frozen and then thawed out when some of the fat was absorbed back into the body. Extremely natural looking. I am a big believer in the facial fat transer.

I would try all of these procedures but the last one...Unfortunately, none of these fit into my budget! Interesting ideas though!

Educational. Not really anything I'm interested in trying...

Women are doing way too much nowadays to look "perfect". It's not right, at least to me.

Very interesting..

by pink_love Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 07:52PM Report as inappropriate

Of course all of these need 4 - 6 treatments at about $300 a pop, Sure I think I'll order one of these per week...Sure...

Sounds too good to be true. Freezing fat cells? You could have had three great work outs within the time you sat there with ice packs on your love handles! You'd probably feel a lot better about yourself too!

by eatinglipstick Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 09:57AM Report as inappropriate

CoolSculpting is something i will be looking into.

by monib79 Sunday, July 3, 2011 at 11:44PM Report as inappropriate

That Lightsheer Duet procedure doesn't sound too bad - neither does the coolsculpting one, if you don't mind laying in one position for three hours (I don't...)

by katiespeaking Friday, June 3, 2011 at 05:36PM Report as inappropriate

I already knew about the DipLash, i watched my friend do this.

really random but the lipstick on the first slide is hot

by AmandaAmanda Sunday, May 15, 2011 at 05:55PM Report as inappropriate

by Akinom Saturday, April 2, 2011 at 05:47PM Report as inappropriate

some of these are crazy weird!

by volta Monday, March 21, 2011 at 11:49PM Report as inappropriate

As if! Well, I MIGHT consider the 'Fat transfer' into certain areas of my face that are showing signs of aging, but SERIOUSLY - the price?!?!? Guess only 'Trophy wives', Celebs and the wealthy (who don't pay their fair share of taxes, etc!) can afford... and the "Fat freezing"? I volunteer to be a test subject... 'cause I will NEVER have enough "disposable income" to be able to afford this - or any of the others either.... maybe that's a GOOD thing?!?!?

by 1955Nurse Saturday, March 12, 2011 at 07:18AM Report as inappropriate

Crystalized fat, eh? You know I'd be the first in line if money was no object...Could I just sit in an ice bath for 2-3 hours and kill the fat all over?

by GlamAllure99 Thursday, March 10, 2011 at 02:12PM Report as inappropriate

Botox totally freaks me out

by LittleBunny Monday, February 14, 2011 at 06:56AM Report as inappropriate

gives a new meaning to kiss my A_ _ so you take the fat from the rear and put in your lips

by deniseunseen Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 09:54AM Report as inappropriate

by aly7 Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 09:23AM Report as inappropriate

by judyangel101 Saturday, February 12, 2011 at 09:38AM Report as inappropriate

by bailey7 Friday, February 11, 2011 at 09:57AM Report as inappropriate

If i had the money i would do all of these excpet for the last one, i don't know if i'd want other fat from my body in my face.

Intereasting how many procedures are out there that we didn't know about before now.

by ritabelle Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 10:10AM Report as inappropriate

by cmiller63 Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 12:58PM Report as inappropriate

I'm not opposed to cosmetic procedures. I've been wanting a boob job forever, and I would totally do laser hair removal!

Facial fat grafting sounds awesome! I have always wanted to take the extra weight from around my body & somehow put it into my flat butt. LOL... maybe it is possible after all!

by pynkNymphette Monday, January 24, 2011 at 08:19PM Report as inappropriate

This sounds pretty cool but too expensive.
