Liposuction, rhinoplasty, breast implants, all these jobs, yet nearly 94 million Americans are still unemployed and dissatisfied. Continuing their lives with the haunting phrase that every woman has heard since she was a young child, “beauty is pain”, but does that really mean to take the risk of going under the knife?
