involving cranioplasty? what i mean is can people get it for cosmetic reasons, not for deformities and such?
Can one get cosmetic surgery?
Why not?
Reply:If u got the money the Dr's got the time.
Reply:What exactly are you hoping to achieve with the procedure? It really depends on the circumstances and whether the benefits of such a procedure outweight the risks. HTH : )
Reply:No its not cosmetic procedure Cranioplasty surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Jewish law on cosmetic surgery?
I was just wondering what Jewish Law is on cosmetic surgery. It is vain, and egotistical.
Jewish law on cosmetic surgery?
Chabad.org says:
"Is cosmetic surgery permissible according to Jewish law?
The issue of cosmetic surgery is discussed by several contemporary poskim (halachic authorities), who address several concerns such a surgery poses.
Though I will be giving you a brief overview of the pertinent issues discussed, the information provided is for academic purposes only. Before making an actual decision in this regard, you must personally speak to your rabbi who will render a decision based on your individual circumstances.
Our bodies are not our personal property which we may treat as we please. Our bodies are on loan to us from G‑d for the duration of our lives, to enable us to fulfill our mission in this world -- a mission which requires having a physical body. (A soul alone cannot don tefillin or light Shabbat candles.) As our bodies are merely on loan, we are not entitled to mutilate them in any way. Thus 'wounding oneself' by undergoing surgery is problematic.
Now, we are commanded by the Torah to heal ourselves, maintain our health, and value our lives. Therefore, surgery which is deemed necessary in the course of the treatment of an illness or injury is allowed -- and actually required. But the question remains: is the prohibition of tampering with our bodies waived for a purely cosmetic concern?
An additional consideration raised by the poskim in regard to purely cosmetic surgery is the fact that every surgery, especially one which requires general anesthesia, presents a certain element of risk and a chance of complications. As aforementioned, we are enjoined to guard our health and avoid unnecessary risks to our wellbeing.
In 1964, a question was posed to several leading poskim regarding a woman who felt that benefiting from plastic surgery would enhance her prospects of finding a suitable husband.
Rabbi Jacob Breisch (author of the Chelkat Yaakov Responsa) maintained that the prohibition of wounding oneself does not apply in a situation where the pain is intended to alleviate another -- more excruciating -- pain. He brought proof from various places in the Talmud that the psychological pain associated with having abnormal features overrides the pain associated with the surgery. He therefore permitted this surgery when done to alleviate psychological distress. A similar explanation was offered by Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, the most recognized posek of the past generation (1895-1986), who explained that the Torah only prohibits self-affliction when done with malice, or in a degrading manner.
Rabbi Breisch also addressed the risks associated with surgery, and ruled that with the advancement of experience and expertise in this area of medicine, the risks involved have been greatly minimized, and therefore undergoing such a surgery cannot be considered a reasonable risk to life.
However, Rabbi Eliezer Waldenberg (1916-2006, author of Tzitz Eliezer responsa) disagreed with these opinions, and ruled unequivocally that cosmetic surgery is forbidden. In his opinion, the Torah statement 'he shall provide for his cure,' from which we learn that one may and must seek medical help, does not apply to ailments that are purely cosmetic.
He also adds a philosophical reasoning. One must believe that G‑d, the greatest artisan of all, formed him or her in the most fitting way, and one must not change this form. Changing one's figure for beauty concerns alone is tantamount to insulting the G‑d's handiwork!
Many authorities have reached some sort of compromise -- ruling that cosmetic surgery is permitted in order to remove an abnormality, if there is a grave psychological need, or to facilitate a happy marriage or decent livelihood; but prohibited if it is being done for beauty or convenience alone.
Another issue raised is the Torah prohibition precluding a man from indulging in feminine activity.2 Some view cosmetic enhancement as such; and therefore consider this another reason to prohibit a man from such a surgery. This, however, would also only apply to a surgery done solely for aesthetic purposes.3
As this is a very subjective issue, in which people can easily delude themselves about the degree of pain and abnormality associated with their looks, it is of utmost importance to personally discuss this with your rabbi for an objective assessment as to the degree of need and convenience, which varies with each case."
Reply:Cosmetic surgery under Jewish traditions can be seen as vain or egotistical. There is no Jewish Law on the matter.
Good Luck!!!
Reply:Well I think in general it is not accepted as a good idea, because your body in on loan from G-d. It would be like getting a tattoo.
If you were to say get breast augmentation just because you wanted to have bigger breasts to please a man then that would be bad in the eyes of G-d. But if you had a horrible car accident and had surgery to correct something and it gave you self confidence and therefor helped you then it would be OK.

I am considering Cosmetic Dentistry surgery for my teeth...?
but there is a few questions I would like to ask.Ok,well,I know they drill down your teeth to fix like gaps and stuff.but as I get older,will they come the same as they were before the surgery?
And also,I can still straighten my teeth with cosmetic dentistry,correct?well if so,I won't need braces or anything?or will they just go back to normal after a while?
I am considering Cosmetic Dentistry surgery for my teeth...?
The fix is permanent but not maintenance free. You will always have to pay attention to your grill because your teeth are capped.
Reply:Veneers work wonders on gaps and crooked teeth. They are essentially a quick fix if you don't want to go through the awkwardness of braces. No, you won't need to get braces, the cosmetic dentist will just fit veneers over your existing teeth, and the end result is astounding! If you have any questions, you should go for a consultation with a cosmetic dentist.

Working in the cosmetic field?
What kind of education do you need to work at a cosmetic counter such as MAC or Clinique. Do they have special training school where they teach you to do makeup? Does anyone know if it pays well? Thanks!
Working in the cosmetic field?
You don't need to have any special education for a job at a counter. Most locations will make sure you are over the age of 18. M.A.C. is a bit more specific. They will more then likely need you to have some make-up application experience. I would suggest getting a job at another counter like Clinique, Clarins Prescriptives first. This will build your resume and give you the sales experience and application skills that most M.A.C. counters require. The interview process for M.A.C. is a bit extensive. Usually 4 or 5 interviews with you and a model and lots of make up application required. I would also suggest putting make-up on friends, family members anyone who will sit still. Then take some pictures and print them out. Place them in a book and bring them with you to interviews. Try Macy*s or a department store in your area. But again most cosmetics departments hire after the age of 18. As for the pay rates. That varies by counter, dept. store. etc. You can make a great living if you keep it up and get a job on TV or on a concert tour with a major artist. It's a great time and you get to be creative everyday.
Reply:Normally you'd just need your cosmotology license to do makeup at a place like MAC. You should be able to find a lot of cosmotology schools just be searching for them on Yahoo in your area.
Makeup artists have a oppurtunity to make a lot of money if for example you did make up in Hollywood, or for some T.V show. But when your someones personal makeup artist, you would get to travel alot with them.

In your opinion what is one cosmetic that no woman should ever be without? Why?
What is one cosmetic that no woman should ever be without?
Mascara, because the eyes are the windows to the soul, and just a little mascara will make your eyes stand out and pop, but also look quite natural.

Any experts on cosmetic surgery?
Has anyone here had the mid-face short scar face lift?
I am curious as to how long the healing process is as this is a fairly new procedure.
I also want to hear about the experience itself (if you have had one) OR any other experiences (positive or negitive) with cosmetic surgery.
Thanks for your input.
