Wow - what a difference. Yeah, she used to be at all the shows a few years back - she looks nothing at all like what she used to. I mean, she was never drop dead gorgeous-gorgeous like some of the models/porn stars out there - but you're right, she's seen MUCH better days.
I'd read once that when people start getting "work done" they generally return each year for touch ups or to have new "work done" once they see how easily they heal, etc... However, the article said that a growing number of people now go back every 3-6 months... and some even more often - as often as the doctor will let them. *shudder*
Hell, I've been avoiding knee surgery for almost a year now for a miniscal tear - lol I can't imagine voluntarily going in and gettng THAT much work done - or the concept of getting addicted to it.

just had that. it was nothing, off of it for a day or two, painkillers and ice.. stiches work themselves out, i popped mine out... took about a wqeek for the arthro holes to heal completely. rehab isnt too rough either, all depends on damage to your quad. the longer you let it go, the more yhour quad has to hold your kneecap in place, risking damage to the quad.
Ive been to 5 PT sessions post op for that one, and the difference you can feel immediately, the hardest part is gaining confidence in your meniscus to do its job, and of course, getting the blood effusion to diffuse.
Now the kneecap replacement and ACL/PCL tears ill reevaluate in 4 weeks to see if i want to go forward at this time. those require some lengthy rehab.
