Tightwad on plastic surgery

Tightwad is all about savings tips, frugal living and living well (and feeling great!) in the process. Ever see those ads on the lap band – with claims to slim your stomach? Or see products to help your eyelashes grow in thicker and fuller? Are you tired of glasses and contact lenses and wish for corrective eye surgery? Maybe you wish you could get rid of the bunions on your feet to fit into sexy heels, have that ugly tattoo that you got in high school removed from your arm, have some dermabrasion to brighter your complexion or get a little chin lift? None of these things are necessarily medical, but are still contribute to your overall self-esteem. Tightwad isn’t talking about becoming Barbie; she’s talking about doing something for yourself to be your best self, and feel your best. To be honest, Tightwad would love to get an abdominoplasty… to get rid of her muffin top after carrying twins. Admittedly, it’s not the twins’ fault… it’s a lack of willpower around brie, baguette and vino.
According some quick research, the average cost of a tummy tuck is $5,100 USD and recovery and results takes up to six months. Is it worth it? Considering that the results generally appear in the form of tight abdominal muscles and flatter stomach – yes! That's why you live frugally, so you can afford to buy the things that you want - by saving where you can. So when you are moving mountains, slinging dinners, schlepping to appointments and kicking serious butt at the office, why not do something for yourself?
