Liposuction. Average cost: $2,982
Sure, most of us would like to lose weight, but a gym membership and a more healthful diet are probably the best ways to get there. Liposuction cuts the fat quickly, but if patients aren't upfront with colleagues, relationships can be damaged by the secrecy behind the improved appearance. Stern says she spoke with a woman who underwent liposuction and faced catty behavior when she returned to her work as a teacher.

Not a Surgery, But...

Teeth whitening. Average cost: $20 to $650
Professional whitening—either in the office or at home—is considered a good investment for the average person looking to appear younger, as teeth tend to darken over time. You can also head to your local drugstore and pick up a whitening kit for $20 to $40. That's pretty good bang for your buck, provided you actually use the kit for the length of time required.

In spring of 1992 at age of 27, I wanted to get the uneven inner eyelid creases fix, so I went and shop for surgeons. This time, I thought using only doctors that are expert of the eyes, I should be in good hands. Little did I know what was going to happen to me. I saw a huge one page ad in the L. A. Times every weekend and this doctor advertised how great his skills are. This doctor is out in Newport Beach, CA. I went to him for initial consultation and told him what I wanted done. Little did I know that he didn't write anything done. Had he done so, maybe he wouldn't have did his own kind of experimental eyelid surgery on me without my consent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He truly has no morals or ethics. After my eyelid surgery, I was shocked to see that I was stitched up all over the place. He made many incisions outside of my eyelid creases. I had so much ugly scars all over the place.
