Website offers cosmetic surgery without a knife

A website is allowing anyone curious about cosmetic surgery, but too frightened to go under the knife, to see an improved version of themselves at the click of a mouse.

The 'Lift Magic' website offers a virtual makeover for prospective plastic surgery patients, so they can see how they might look after eye-bag removal, a nose job or a face-lift.

Users load a digital photograph of themselves onto the screen and can try out up to 14 different treatments.



Options include a cheek lift, lip augmentation, dermal filler injections and 'tear trough enhancement' which works on the area between the inner corner of the eye and the nose.

Once they have chosen from the menu of alterations, users hit the 'show me' button to see an image of their surgically-enhanced face.

It is then possible to scroll between the natural and retouched version to compare the differences.
