New Nip and Tuck Procedure

A new procedure in cosmetic surgery is all the rage: It's eyelash transplant surgery and it's being touted as the new "must-have" surgery for women seeking to enhance their beauty.

This procedure uses the same techniques used on balding men and women by implanting hair from other parts of their heads and bodies. I don't want to think about where the hairs come from when someone wants some curl in their eyelashes.

I'm starting to think pretty girl shooter's who rearrange and modify pixels to enhance a model's appeal -- with Photoshop or other image processors -- have nothing on these cosmetic surgeons.

I suppose models who go through this procedure will spend a bit less time in the make-up chair. After all, applying fake eyelashes is de rigeur when making up a model.

Most common cosmetic procedures aren't something the MUA can do much about. These include breast enhancements, nose jobs, tummy tucks, lip treatments, and a whole variety of other implants and procedures (butt, cheekbones, liposuction, etc.) that have become somewhat commonplace amongst models and many others in Western, First World, female populations.

The pretty girl featured with this post is Natalie. I'm guessing Natalie is no stranger to a cosmetic surgeon's knife. Images were captured with a Canon 5D w/85mm f/1.8 prime, ISO 100, f/8 @ 125th. I used a 5' Octodome for the mainlight/fill and a small umbrella for a kicker in the first image. The sun provided the rest of the light. I don't think Natalie needs to worry much about drowning in the pool. Those internal floatation devices probably provide a lot of buoyancy.
