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.

My first thought was––ok, play around with all these different tucks and tights and see how young you look and then–––you gonna shell out the green backs to achieve this? What a concept Aarabi and Rabi––they sound like a comedy team or a really yummy vegetable–––have concocted. Money to be made here and it reeks of exploitation.

Frank, remember the remarks Liza made last night about your picture? Judging folks’ appearance goes both ways. Our sum total is not what we look like on the surface. And by the way, I liked your picture, as did all of us here, because we like you. Doctor Markie could look like George Clooney and he would still be ugly, because of his beliefs and the way he makes us feel. I don’t know. I could be wrong. I just hate being adored because of how outrageously beautiful I am ; ), instead of the good and kind person I aspire to.

That is so bizarre. I was going to make a joke about the one click makeover, but the frog still shows up on the Mac. However, on my PC—surprise! I don’t like it. Back to the frog.

I was wondering why everyone was calling you Grace Slick. Your picture didn’t show up on the Mac.

This would be like going to a website that shows me all the things I could buy if I won the lottery. Why torture myself. Besides - I would get pissed if someone came up to me with a picture and said, “This is what you could look like if you weren’t so old and wrinkled.” And that is pretty much what the website is saying………..I have just learned to love myself and hate mirrors - lol.

I would not ever consider having plastic surgery. Took me most of my forty nine years to be comfortable in my own skin. My wrinkles are “service stripes” and my laugh lines a reminder of the great times I’ve had. Besides, if I ever had Botox I wouldn’t be able to raise my left eye brow…and would then lose all control of my children!
