Tummy tuck? Bigger breasts? There are Apps for that
Thinking of a tummy tuck? Need bigger breasts? There's now an App for that, reports The Los Angeles Times.
In fact, there are now two plastic surgery applications for Apple's iPhone that offer users information, games and the chance for people to envisage what they would look like with a new nose, face lift or many other procedures.
The Shafer Plastic Surgery App was launched in October as the first such product among.
Created by New York-based Dr. David Shafer, it is aimed at modern patients who are "sophisticated, inquisitive and information seeking," and it taps into a database of more than 1,000 questions and answers about specific cosmetic surgery procedures.
Interesting, the app comes with a warning: "You must be at least 17 years old to download this application".
And coming soon, the iSurgeon app which combines a game mode allowing users to try their hand at surgery with a feature that gives people the chance to instantly modify images of themselves -- or their friends -- through lip enhancements, breast augmentations and dozens of other improvements.
