I'm a feminist and I've had cosmetic surgery. Why is that a problem? | Angela Neustatter
We should talk openly about cosmetic procedures and be supportive of women and men with low body confidenceThe memory of actor Julie Christie being accused, in print, of "betraying us all" when she admitted to having had a face lift to try to stay working in the mercilessly youth-adoring Hollywood culture, came sharply into focus as I read that cosmetic surgery procedures have risen by 17% on average since 2012.I had an eye job in my 40s when my eyes seemed to be disappearing into a reptilian layer of skin folds. This made me miserable because we communicate so much with our eyes, and journalists, more than most. I wrote a...

Double chins banished with 'fatburner injections'?
Conclusion
This was a well-conducted, randomised controlled trial that examined the effectiveness and safety of an injected treatment (ATX-101) for excess fat under the chin compared with an inactive placebo injection. This is described to be one of the first trials of a non-surgical treatment for reducing fat under the chin.
The study benefits from its reasonably large sample size, inclusion of doctor and patient measures of treatment effect, and its double blind design.
The study found significant improvements with ATX-101 according to both clinician and patient-ratings. However, there are some cautions to bear in mind...
