The One-Click Face Lift

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

Considering a face lift? Lip augmentation? Nose job? Before you plunk down the dollars, a new website called Lift Magic can help you decide by showing you your picture transformed by one of 14 different cosmetic surgery procedures.

Billing itself “the world’s most advanced face-lift visualization studio,” Lift Magic works when you upload to the site a full-face digital photograph of yourself. Then, you can click on one or more surgery selections such as “cheek lift,” “outer lip lift,” “weight reduction.” Select the “show result” button and voila! It’s you. Only better. Or, different, anyhow.

Lift Magic is owned by Modiface, which is the brainchild of Dr. Parham Aarabi and Alireza Rabi. Working at Stanford University, Dr. Aarabi initiated research on automatic face analysis. In 2004, the duo started on plastic-surgery visualization, giving birth to Modiface in 2006.

Is this a free site? It really sounds interesting, and I bet my daugher, my sister and I have a ball playing on it. I am not interested in invasive procedures, but there are many things one can do to enhance their features. And, frankly, I feel like I look sad and/or tired a lot of the time.

I agree with you Diana. The woman on the post doesn’t look plastic at all…..just rested. I see nothing wrong with plastic surgery if a woman can still look her age without that “tight” expression or those “raised—always looks shocked” eyebrows and “fish” lips.

You peeved? No way! While I’m here I would just like to say I wish WoW would put up a new post for the Hippy Dippy Weatherman. Now that’s a guy who had a relationship with white rabbits.

LOL I was wondering if you knew what was going on on the other side of Wow. I suppose the Doc has you pissed off as well?

Nah—I’m fairly easy-going—Doc don’t bother me—I just tell him to get his head outta his ass and everything ‘s just fine. :-)
