From our first breath, we are aging. Every new line and furrow is a testament to that fact. But now revolutions in cosmetic surgery are offering new techniques that will not only stall the outward signs of aging, but allow a person to completely redesign their appearance. Total body contouring. Virtually scar free surgeries and designer faces are already here. Were the explorer, Ponce de Leon to wage his search for the fountain of youth in the 21st Century, he would do best to begin not in the swamps, but in the surgical suites. In the past, cosmetic surgery was thought largely to be the domain of wealthy aging women. That's no longer the case. Meet Helen Dunne. At 24, she's decided to have her face and body re-contoured in an afternoon. 22-year-old, Jorg Tanis, has traveled halfway around the world to have a surgeon who he found on the Internet implant jaw, cheek and chin implants. And then there's the world record holder for cosmetic surgeries, Cindy Jackson, who has completely redesigned herself through 27 procedures. Her friend Isobel Hayes, like Cindy's look so much, she had surgery to become her clone. In the 21st Century perhaps the most revolutionary change in the field of cosmetic surgery will be how common it becomes.
