Nothing gets us more excited than talking about a not-so-little tweakment or a nip-tuck procedure. In the spirit of transparency, Marie Claire’s aesthetics column, Life in Plastic, delivers a first-hand peek into what goes on behind the doctor’s door.
As a beauty editor, I've always been fascinated with aesthetic treatments and the latest science—but in a very particular way. I've seen the bad, the good, and the jaw-dropping "Wow, they won the genetic lottery" kind of work. The best results, to me, are the invisible ones: a jawline that's defined but not chiseled; lips that are full but don't scream injections; a rhinoplasty that enhances without totally erasing the quirks that make a face interesting (I'm Italian, and yes, I'm slightly attached to my bump). Teeth, though, were the one area that had me curious enough to get in the chair myself.
