MS, cosmetic surgery and non-invasive cosmetic procedures
Posted: Sun Oct 02, 2005 2:51 pm
OK, let me start by saying, the idea of cosmetic surgery seems so outlandish now that it's almost embarrassing to post this question, but here goes.
Right before my diagnosis, I had been planning on getting something done about some bothersome bags below my eyes. I had researched "non-invasive" techniques, and found that the jury pretty much says they're not effective. So I was gearing up for the full surgical deal. Well, that was then.
Now, happily, I still feel well enough to be vain enough to wish these bags would go away (although trust me, I'm much happier to still feel mostly normal, al things considered). But it got me wondering about cosmetic procedures of all types. I mean, I was even concerned about getting my legs waxed.
So now, I wonder, is there any information anyone's run across about having any types of cosmetic procedures done, surgical/invasive or not, when you have MS?
