Chin Up

Written by Riley on October 29, 2007 in: Musings |
The ad atop my email account today was “Chin liposuction $2400.”

You want a piece of this?

I guess those automated word checkers that choose which ads go where seized on the following message I sent:

Dear Chin,

You are SO. FAT! SO. FAT! I CAN’T STAND YOU, YOU STUPID FAT CHIN OF MINE!

One of these days, I am going to get a chin liposuction and then I will be BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Can someone please tell me where I can get a CHIN LIPSOSUCTION? DOES SUCH A THING EVEN EXIST?!!!!!

For the love of Dr. 90210, who would spend $2400 on a chin liposuction?

If you really need to alter a face with your spare $2400 (and I say “spare” because I truly hope that no one is actually saving up for something like this), consider giving the gift of cleft lip operations to needy children. Your $2400 covers the cost of almost 10 operations.

Besides, according to Tevye, a big chin is a good thing.

  • Good for Tevye, who had a reasonable sized chin himself.

    I don’t have a double chin yet; I still have some way to go. But I reserve the right to have one if I ever feel like it — or if it just happens naturally. And although I have a few bits on me that I’d like to be smaller or larger, you would never catch me wasting my money on liposuction. At some point I looked at myself and decided that I’d rather see an aging crone in the mirror than a proud, haughty woman who kept thinking of new ways to stave off old age.

  • My chin is quite double, which means that I have to contort myself horribly for photographs to get a flattering picture.
    Boy, now I wish I was married to Tevye…

  • Ha ha! My pregnancy left behind some belly fat and a bit of extra chin (the cookies and chocolate haven’t been helping much either). I think I will keep mine though. Liposuction scares me.

  • I shall cut a big into my chin to make a Kirk Douglas indentation, but no lipo, please. And good for you for sending people to the cleft lip operations!

  • Sigh…I can relate. I would love to have a chiseled, decisive jaw line–I think they make SUCH a difference in this whole aging process. But, like you, no way could I do that–not when there are so many people in this world with REAL problems!

  • I can give you chin liposuction and a face lift for free with Photoshop :) Just avoid seeing anyone in person and you’re set for life.

  • Good on you for the link to the cleft lip help site! And I’ll let my husband know about the double chin thing.

  • I have a double chin… and yet I’m not fat… how is that fair? It’s because I have ZERO chin to begin with. How about someone suck it from their chin and put it into mine. A two-for-one right?

  • The double chin is not feature of exclusively full people, it can appear at young and healthy people who inherit this most widespread cosmetic problem.
