Chinny chin chin


I've mentioned at Chez Roissy that I believe it's a woman's obligation to stay looking as good as she can. I honestly believe that - no bull. Currently single and desiring a serious relationship I'm very aware of the passing minutes. How they affect my marketability. How every month makes a difference on an aging body. Hitting the wall is real for women in the case of beauty. I'm fortunate not to have damaged my body prematurely by smoking, tanning or drinking. My white skin has remained smooth when others my age have started to wrinkle or look dull.

As evidenced in my pics I have a nice jawline. What I don't like is the start of a double chin. This is not fat related but age related. Angling my head in the right position can minimize it, but a profile shot taken with me unaware and I'm at the beginning stages of horrified.

I like that we're living in an age of plastic surgery. Sorry but I do. I have no bones about doing what it takes to hold on to my attractiveness. To this end I have booked an appointment with a cosmetic surgeon of some renown (chief of plastic surgery at big hospital). I want liposuction under my chin. He may turn me away because its minimal, but I'm hopeful he won't. If I can get this before it turns into a waterfall of flesh I'll do the happy dance.

I'm being bold by being honest about what I plan to do. I'm opening myself up to criticism and judgment I realize. Honestly I don't care. I'm young enough to stop the ravages of time not reverse them so why shouldn't I? There is a double standard out there which says you must be beautiful, but you must be beautiful naturally. Anything manufactured means you're not beautiful. To this I say BS. Symmetry, bone structure, size and placement of various features all contribute to what we consider attractive. How we get those features is moot. Beauty is beauty.

My neck isn't as bad as the one in the picture but I can see it going that way sooner or later.
