Eyes exhibiting sectoral heterochromia, also called segmented or partial heterochromia.

A rare example of the phenomenon in both eyes:

#i found out some people can opt to have their ‘odd’ eye treated with laser to make their eyes a normal solid match #a sad result of the invention of cosmetic eye color surgery #there are before and after pictures of people having their heterochromia undone. lame as hell.#understandable if its acquired heterochromia from injury or disease but otherwise it’s benign babe. no affect on vision and you look sick #eyes #heterochromia #mutation #scopophobia

Officially on month 8 of a year long recovery ✨ I had a severe underbite that caused really bad TMJ issues, as well as nasal, bite, and speech issues. I wasn’t able to talk, laugh, or chew food for too long without having some type of pain in my jaw. I also had to avoid a lot of foods that also caused jaw pain when I ate them. It was also a big insecurity of mine to have such a long, protruding jaw that didn’t fit my face. Day 1 feels like forever ago. It was a struggle but it really was worth the ride because not only do I feel better physically but emotionally as well. Though this procedure was medical and not cosmetic, it fixed one of my biggest issues and insecurities and my confidence couldn’t be better. After over 10 years of waiting and saving up for this I’m glad it’s officially done and almost over. It definitely hasn’t been easy but I’m glad I made it this far 🥹🥰💖

The Unveiling Artistry of Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas

When it comes to reinventing oneself, Las Vegas doesn't just deal in cards; it deals in transformations. In a city that thrives on spectacle, the art of plastic surgery takes center stage, promising a symphony of enhancements that rival the dazzling lights of the Strip. So, let's dive into the world of plastic surgery las vegas, where dreams take on a new, breathtaking form.

The Extravaganza of Possibilities

Sculpting Dreams, Building Confidence

In the realm of plastic surgery, Las Vegas is not just a city; it's a canvas where skilled surgeons craft dreams into reality. Imagine a sculptor chiseling away imperfections, revealing a masterpiece beneath. From subtle refinements to dramatic transformations, the possibilities are as varied as the city's iconic shows.

Facial Elegance: Like a master painter delicately adding strokes to a canvas, facial procedures enhance natural beauty. Think facelifts, rhinoplasty, and eyelid surgery, each contributing to a harmonious composition.

Body Contouring Ballet: Picture this as a dance of transformation, where liposuction and tummy tucks choreograph a symphony of curves, reshaping the body's silhouette.

Breast Augmentation: Much like selecting the perfect outfit, breast augmentation allows individuals to embrace their unique beauty confidently.

Finding Your Maestro

Navigating the Sea of Artistry

Choosing a plastic surgeon in Las Vegas is akin to selecting the lead actor for a blockbuster show – each one brings a distinct flair to the stage. Here are some key considerations:

Credentials Shine Like Stars: Seek surgeons certified by esteemed boards such as the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Credentials are the stars that guide you through a sea of choices.

Experience Adds to the Performance: Just as a seasoned performer commands the stage, experienced surgeons bring expertise to their craft. Years in the field translate to a depth of knowledge and an understanding of evolving techniques.

Patient Testimonials: Applause from the Audience: Think of patient testimonials as standing ovations. They offer insights into the surgeon's ability to turn aspirations into reality, creating a narrative of satisfaction.

Las Vegas: A Stage for Transformation

The Showmanship of Surgical Procedures

In this neon-lit wonderland, the plastic surgery show unfolds with a range of procedures, each a spectacle in its own right.

Mommy Makeovers: Imagine this as a revival, a comeback tour for mothers. Mommy makeovers combine procedures like tummy tucks and breast lifts, restoring confidence in the aftermath of childbirth.

Brazilian Butt Lifts: Much like a dance that enhances rhythm, Brazilian butt lifts sculpt and shape, bringing a dynamic allure to the body's silhouette.

Laser Resurfacing: Think of this as the special effects team adding the finishing touches. Laser resurfacing smoothens and revitalizes the skin, creating a radiant glow.

Your Personal Transformation: A Script Unwritten

Crafting Your Own Tale of Rebirth

Embarking on a plastic surgery journey in Las Vegas is akin to writing a script for your personal drama. Here's a guide to crafting your tale:

Consultation: The Opening Act: Schedule consultations with multiple surgeons, each one an audition for the leading role in your transformation. Ask questions, seek clarity, and ensure their vision aligns with yours.

Costs: The Budgetary Plot Twist: Much like managing finances for a film, understand the costs involved. Plastic surgery is an investment in your confidence, and a transparent discussion about expenses ensures a smooth production.

Preparation: Backstage Preparations: Like an actor preparing for a role, follow pre-surgery instructions diligently. Your performance depends on the backstage preparations.

Recovery: The Intermission: Post-surgery recovery is the intermission between acts. Follow the script – rest, recuperate, and allow your body to unveil the final act.

youtube

The Grand Finale: Your Redesigned Symphony

Stepping into the Limelight of Confidence

In the grand finale of plastic surgery in Las Vegas, you step into the limelight of confidence, the applause echoing in the newfound radiance. The city that never sleeps becomes the backdrop to your transformed self, and the skilled plastic surgeons are the orchestrators of this grand symphony.

As you navigate this spectacle of possibilities, remember, your plastic surgery journey is a narrative of rebirth. In the city where dreams are made, let the artistry of plastic surgery redefine and elevate your story. From the initial consultation to the final reveal, let Las Vegas be the stage where your dreams take center stage, a spectacle of beauty and confidence that shines as bright as the city itself.

Eddie was still in the coma, attached to so many tubes it made Wayne sick to look at sometimes. But they were keeping him alive, so he’ll manage. They were making sure he got to see his boy awake again.

There was still a metal cuff that was attached to his wrist. The other end attached to the bar of the hospital bed. As if he could spring up at any moment and just escape. When he’s been half dead for days. When Wayne hasn’t seen his eyes open since before Eddie went into hiding.

He hasn’t seen his boy for over a full week. Even though he’s been lying there on the bed for the last few days. Eddie won’t be back with Wayne until he wakes up. If he wakes up.

Everyday Wayne’s been here in between his shifts. Can’t afford to take the days off, with having to get a new place and all. Part of his paycheck’s paying for the hotel room he’s staying in while trying to find somewhere new to live. Even the abandoned houses are too pricy, and the trailer park’s in shambles.

Honestly, if he could, he’d be pulling as many doubles as possible just to get a new place and soon. But that would mean not being here. Might miss when he wakes up. Wayne doesn’t want to miss that.

It’s not like he’s lonely here either. There’s been other visitors. The kid that Eddie always talked about from his dungeon game. The one that he secretly liked above the rest of the freshmen. His bandmates came by once, looking guilty as hell when they did. They haven’t been back since.

There’s been a few other people Wayne hasn’t recognized. A few more kids from the club, some he didn’t even know Eddie knew. But they always came to check in before heading across the hall to see the boy there. The Harrington boy.

Wayne recognized it was him one day when the door was left open. He was asleep, with an IV in his arm along with some other cords. Not as many as his boy, but still there. There was a girl in there too, short brown hair and wearing a baggy jacket with some patches. She was holding his hand. It never seemed like she let it go.

The same girl checked in on Eddie a few times. Tried to make small talk with Wayne but left when she realized he was disinterested. Always heading back to the Harrington boy.

All he knew is that they both came in at the same time. Got admitted one after the other, but Wayne didn’t know what order. That they both had to go through some type of surgery to deal with the injuries. Though he hears Harrington’s was more cosmetic than anything. Eddie’s was to save his life.

Not that he’s judging. People could do whatever they wanted for all he cared. There were different doctor’s for different things. Priorities and all that. He just hoped that Harringotn wasn’t higher up on the list than Eddie was. Eddie was clearly the one in the worst condition.

The kid that kept visiting Eddie went over there a lot too. Dustin, is the kid’s name. Wayne can’t remember it half the time, he’s too busy focusing on something else. And just bone tired. But after Dustin sits next to Wayne for a while, updates Eddie on everything that’s happened that day, sometimes reads to him, he heads right across the hall and does it all again. Every single time.

Wayne has no clue how this boy could possibly be close with both Eddie and the Harrington kid. It’s not like they were in the same circles. Or seemed to remotely like each other at all. Wayne can explicitly remember the Harrington boy being apart of one of Eddie’s hate filled rampages. But if he’s remembering right, there was something different that really pissed Eddie off about him. Something that’s wrapped up in the same reason Wayne’s never seen Eddie bring a girl home.

But day after day, Dustin goes to Steve’s room after stopping by Eddie. Wayne can see why Eddie liked Dustin. He’s loud and dramatic just like Eddie. Likes the same game, same books, even starting to like the same music. But Dustin and the Harrington boy. He doesn’t get it.

Until he’s walking down the hall to get a cup of coffee and hears it. The bickering that leads into laughter. Snippy comments about something filled with inside jokes. Suddenly it all makes sense. They almost seem like brothers.

It’s a few more days until Wayne meets the Harrington boy himself. A nurse coming to check Eddie’s vitals leaves the door open on accident. Harrington peaks through when he’s on a walk down the hallway.

“Why is he handcuffed?” is the first thing Wayne hears from the kid. Voice filled with anger.

Before Wayne can get annoyed at explaining the whole situation to another stranger, explain how he knows his boy is innocent, the nurse is yelling at him.

“You can’t be in here, sir.”

“I don’t give a shit. Why is he handcuffed? He didn’t do anything wrong.”

Wayne is surprised that he’s not the one making the case this time. Somehow, this kid he’s never met believes his nephew is innocent. Just like he does.

The nurse snaps her folder shut, walking up to Steve and waving for help through the door. “That is private information. Go back to your room before you’re forced to.”

Steve rolls his eyes with a snarl, undoing the buttons on the front of his hospital shirt. “He didn’t give me these. He didn’t kill those kids. I know, I was there.” He begins to pull back the bandages, revealing scarred, mauled skin that looks just like Eddies. The nurse scolds him to stop. “He’s innocent, so why is he handcuffed to the bed?”

“He is still a suspect and deemed dangerous. Now get back to your room.”

More another nurse grabs Steve’s arm to try and pull him to his room. He shakes it off.

“Dangerous,” his voice raises. “He’s been in a coma for days and you think he’s dangerous. What is he going to do, pop up out of bed like he hasn’t been fucking asleep for days and almost died just to run away? He couldn’t do that if he tried.”

Security gets involved now, physically pushing Steve out of the doorway. The nurse shuts the door to Eddie’s room, cutting Wayne off from seeing it. She apoligized for the intrusion and gets back to checking on Eddie.

“He’s right, you know,” Wayne says, still hearing the noise from the hall. “My boy didn’t do nothin’ wrong. Can’t escape even if he tried. Or attack anyone for that matter. He’s been through enough, he doesn’t need to wake up to a cuff around his wrist.”

The nurse purses her lips, strained. “This is from above me, sir. But if the news is true, the cuffs are staying on.”

When the nurse opens the door again, the hall is clear.

The next time Wayne sees Harrington is when he leaves for the day. Only able to fall asleep so many times in a shitty hospital chair before needing to go home. Security presses for him to stay in his room, warning him.

“Just going to make a fucking phone call. I’m allowed to do that right?” When the security guard crosses his arms, the kid hits him with, “Don’t want me to get my dad involved, do you? Isn’t he one of the main donors for this hospital? Be such a shame if he stopped.”

Wayne almost laughs when the security guard moves out of the way. Harrington giving him the finger with a smirk as he walks down the hall to the payphone.

Maybe Eddie and the Harrington kid had more in common than Wayne thought.

astro observations

Accuracy influenced by entire chart.

🪻 Family member w/ a cap venus met his wife at her workplace.

- This placement is generally attracted to polite, well-dressed/groomed people. Partnerships work best when the partner has a steady plan for their future. Cap venus spouses generally are: reliable, humble, and hardworking.

🪻 Taurus Venus+7th H Venus may have relationships (friends, lovers, and business) with lazy people. (lazy is a harsh word but I can’t think of a better one)

- Ex 1. My taurus venus friend had a partner in university who was financially supported by their parents well into adulthood. This resulted in the partner having terrible work ethic. Their laziness resulted in unemployment and lack of ambition in career.

- Ex 2. This taurus venus had a partner who would ask to cancel dates to stay at home. They preferred to spend most of their free time gaming. Very much a homebody.

🪻 Aqua is a fixed sign and I’ve noticed aqua venus people have fixed types physically. And their “type” can often be physically different from them.

- Ex 1. Aqua venus man says he loves to date tall girls. He’s about 6 feet and has only ever dated women very close to his height. And right now is trying to rizz up a woman taller than him.

- Ex 2. The other aqua venus has only dated men from a different racial background than her. The type is “fixed” because the men are always the same race although different than her.

🪻Venus in 9th H woman ik is in a long distance relationship. I know it’s such a generic example of this placement but it’s accurate!

🪻 Gemini Venus friend loves a lil toxicity. Picking fights to get the other person riled up in a fun & loving way.

- This may be a negative manifestation of this placement. Because (generally) this placement is prone to get bored in long term connections. This does not mean that they don’t love their partner or they can’t have a forever relationship. It means partnership work best with partners who have a youthful energy. Someone who is as curious and clever as they are.

- This placement’s likely to have a spouse who is witty, a little devious in their humour but overall intelligent & respectable.

🪻 Not all libra risings have symmetrical bodies. If the ruler, venus is afflicted you may have some asymmetrical features. This does not mean you are unattractive.

- Libra rising w/ venus in scorpio & venus conjunct mars. She has asymmetrical dimples.

- Libra rising conjunct mars. She has had a prominent scar on the left side of her chest from a heart surgery she had as a child. ngl it looks badass. my scorpio venus is intrigued & wld love a scar like this.

🪻 6th H chiron can manifest as becoming extremely critical of oneself. I’ve noticed 6th H chiron people are likely to seriously consider & get cosmetic surgeries.

- Person A w 6th H chiron in gemini is open to their circle about having rhinoplasty (nose job). They aren’t ashamed and I’ve seen them give info and joke to those who are curious/interested. Ex: Joking that “you should try learning to contour your nose before spending so much”

- But Person B has 6th H chiron in scorpio. When they had their cosmetic surgery done, they only told those who it was necessary to tell. Like the people who would be taking care of them in their recovery. They have told me they joke to their social circles that they’re just a late bloomer to avoid speculation.

🪻 As a scorpio venus, it is nice to see our loyalty being constantly recognized and appreciated. However, that is such a generic analysis of this placement. Often people seem to forget that Scorpio deals with possession and power dynamics.

- Ex: Scorpio venus man asked for a one sided open marriage from his wife after she has their first child. This allowed him to see other women but she was not allowed to see other men (nor did she want to though). She was incredibly hurt but did not want to be a single mom. And she did financially rely on him as well. This is a negative manifestation of scorpio venus. Instead of loyalty, there were toxic power dynamics at play.

🪻 Ruler of 10th in 7th. I’ve noticed these people can mainly become known for who they are dating or dated.

Ex: This can manifest as having a partner who is more social or popular in their social circles.

Ex.2. It can be negative as people may gossip about your relationships for their entertainment.

🪻 Gemini 7th house can experience getting friend or sister/brother zoned.

🪻 Venus opposite Uranus indicates someone will suddenly end their relationship with you. This can be someone you’re dating, a friend or family. It may even be getting fired from a job since venus is connected to money.

Some may find that people repeatedly surprise them by cheating, leaving or ghosting. There may be some behaviour or pattern within yourself that you must confront for this to end. For others, it may happen once and it will hurt by at least it can be a lesson learned or karma cleared.

Rhinoplasty in Essex

There are a lot of reasons why people might need to have rhinoplasty, but the most common reason is a deviated septum that has caused breathing problems. This can be fixed with surgery, and will also improve airflow to the nose.

The nose is the most important feature of a human face. For some people, this means that rhinoplasty is absolutely necessary because of the type of job they do or their ethnicity. Other people might decide to have a nose job as part of a cosmetic surgery procedure that adds to their overall appearance.

Essex has some of the best cosmetic surgeons in the UK. Offers world-class rhinoplasty procedures and helps with more complicated procedures such as TT, tummy tuck, body contouring, and lipo. If you are thinking of having those important steps enhanced or improved to accentuate your natural beauty and make you feel happier, contact one of Essex's highly trained surgeons- Mr. Makarand Tare.

Essex rhinoplasty specialists can offer nose jobs for patients of different age groups. If you look for Rhinoplasty in Essex, the best surgeon you get is Mr. Makarand Tare. Patients can choose from a variety of payment methods like cash payments, and healthcare credit cards.

Essex rhinoplasty clinic offers a simple and painless rhinoplasty process that has been calculated to result in the best possible outcome. The Essex surgeons are specialists in achieving natural-looking results with little to no scarring.

Abdominoplasty means abdomen changing, or more accurately, abdominal wall flattening and tightening . It is one of my favorite procedures because it allows me to change the abdomen in three distinct and complementary ways: tightening the muscles, removing disproportionate fat and excising loose skin.

Today's blog reveals how each of these distinct techniques contribute to predictable, excellent tummy tuck results, illustrated with before and after pictures.

Any advice for handling race in reincarnation situations?

@swamp-spirit asked:

I'm writing a story that includes characters being reincarnated with completely different appearances. It's a fantasy world, and most of the characters are being reborn in the same region, but I still want a range of skin tones and features in the main cast (this is a comic). I have weird feelings about a character being 'reborn' with notably lighter or darker skin, but it also feels implausible and lazy for people to Just Happen to have a similar appearance when the theology of the story doesn't support it. Characters being reborn, and taking out things specific to real life groups, what are the major things you'd want an author to read up on or take into account? (Note: there is not a 'white' looking ethnic group in this story)

I don’t think it’s a problem as long as the skin tones don’t have any correlation to the circumstances that they’re reincarnated into.

- SK

It’s an interesting question, because in most religions where reincarnation/ transmigration of the soul is a feature of “what happens after death”, remembering one’s past life is not really part of the package deal. From what you’ve written, it’s not clear to me where the “memory” of these characters’ lives are held. Is there a 3rd person omniscient narrator telling the audience who each person is in their next life or do the characters themselves retain memory of past lives?

Assuming this is your typical reincarnation scenario where characters retain no memory of previous lives, it doesn’t much matter. The next life is the next life. Who a person was in their previous life and that identity, in theory, means nothing to them. This also means whatever personality, values, experiences and so on they had in their previous life no longer has meaning. They are, in effect, another person. However, you say you feel awkward about the above which makes me wonder if characters are remembering past lives, in which case…

If you study pretty much any major Asian religion where reincarnation is a part of the belief system, having no memory of the previous life is par for the course. In present-day religions like Jainism, Sikhism, Hinduism and Buddhism, only “special” (I’m using the term very casually here) entities like bodhisattvas, guru, arihant, buddhas, etc. usually get to keep their memories, while the rest of us (literal) mere mortals are supposed to lose our memories between lives as a part of Samsara. In Hinduism, even the gods often forget their previous lives, unless their reincarnation had a targeted purpose (Like being born to defeat an evil entity).

For most people, it is only through prayer, devotion, meditation and accumulated virtuous/ good/ compassionate deeds that humans are thought to deepen their understanding of the nature of the universe, and thus have the capacity to remember past lives (I’m, again, paraphrasing very loosely here from several years worth of university history+religion courses).

This is why the isekai genre in Japan is largely regarded as a “cheat”/ parody genre of fantasy. The protagonist, according to common Japanese cultural beliefs, which are quite heavily grounded in Buddhism, is definitively “cheating.” Not to get too ironically biblical, the character’s success often comes from the forbidden knowledge borne of their previous life.

Thus, there are two ways I look at your characters’ predicaments:

It’s not technically reincarnation - not by the way most major world religions define reincarnation, anyway. You have people who died now inhabiting other bodies, but that’s not the same as the transmigration of the soul. Also, you want to delve into the weirdness (and maybe heaviness) of “Wow, I went to sleep with one face and woke up with another.” There are certainly stories about people who have had dramatic cosmetic plastic surgery, weight loss surgery, HRT, etc. and then experienced the difference in the “before” versus “after” of how their altered physical appearance makes them feel, as well as how other people treat them. Even if the community your characters are born into now differs from their previous community (Which I guess would make this more a “I traveled between dimensions, and my appearance altered in the process” sci-fi adjacent affair), their new life will still have social environments with differing attitudes towards human physical appearance that will affect your characters’ emotional states.

Isekai it up and play with the ridiculous contradiction of having past lives and differing memories of one’s appearance. Isekai manga, manhwa and webtoons all make use of this trope heavily, especially with protagonists who experience a “glow-up” (Ex. Going from a Plain Jane OL to beautiful fantasy heroine) or, by contrast, protagonists who end up in very different forms from their original lives (Tensura, I’m a Spider, So What?). I’d be creative and go even more granular. Being able to tan after a lifetime of getting sunburns or no longer needing glasses might be nice, but what if the new body lacks the enzymes to process dairy or alcohol? What about dealing with differences in hair texture? Skincare routines? What about living life as a very tall person after being quite short or vice versa? What if you bumped into an acquaintance from your previous life, and one of you clearly got a more “coveted” reincarnation? See how far of an extreme you can take this idea until it feels too uncomfortable or ridiculous.

Marika.
