I know of girls, or should I say ladies, who get their breasts enlarged or reduced, their rear-ends narrowed or widened, their thighs vacuumed, their tummies tucked, their nosed altered in a number of ways, collagen implanted in their lips, fat liposuctioned from a number of strategic locations, their stomachs stapled, or any combination of the above, and then some.
Others, who are, let's say, excessively endowed, may even opt to have their two thousand some-odd body parts expanded, contracted, reduced, augmented or whatever, once or ad infinitum. Plastic or cosmetic surgery can probably be done on just about every external part of the body, but a lot of the time, I'm sure that the results are counterproductive. Things can and do go the opposite way than was intended. (to be cont'd)
