COSMETIC surgery? There’s an
App for that.
A medical spa in the US has
released its own iPhone App
which is designed to teach
users considering plastic
surgery about the procedures
and to help them see what
they might look like afterward.
The Allure Medical Spa app,
subtitled Boost Your Beauty,
features before and after
photos of patients, as well as
a “visualisation tool” which
allows you to morph a photo
of yourself using “virtual
surgery”, as well as shrinking
a waistline, sharpening a nose
or even enhancing a chest.
The final morphed version
of yourself can then be sent
to friends, or to a surgeon at
the spa for comment.
AND while we’re on the
subject, the US Transportation
Security Administration has
issued worldwide warnings
regarding the possibility of
breast enhancements or
other implants having a little
more shrapnel than silicone.
According to reports the
agency has heard rumours of
potential bomb boobs being
used by would-be terrorists.
The report is not the first to
come through of “creative”
ways to smuggle a bomb,
with Northwest Airlines
having foiled an underwear
bomb attempt in 2009.
In terms of the practicalities
of an implant bomb, whilst
scientists have said it is
theoretically possible, they
added that there would be
significant hurdles to
detonation, including body
tissue dampening the
potential explosion.
The current proliferation of
metal detectors and full body
scanners in airports would
also make it very hard to get
a boob bomb on a plane, the
TSA said.
