			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If Casey Anthony decided to go incognito for her own safety with drastic cosmetic surgery,  what would I recommend? I have had that question asked to me a dozen times since her release from jail. But, for a quick fix, to confuse paparazzi and whackos for now, here’s what she can do:<br />
&#8211;get her hair cut short, with stylish bangs and dye it red;<br />
&#8211;shape her brows differently, maybe thinner, and dye them red, too, so the carpet will match the drapes;<br />
&#8211;get blue or brown colored contacts, AND glasses…<br />
If she decides her face structure needs changes that only surgery can achieve, so she can be invisible in a crowd, she might havae a nose job, cheek implants, jaw implant, shorten her high forehead by bringing down the hairline; alter her round eyes to make them slanted…<br />
She won’t have much choice if she decides to stay in the U.S.; someone will try to spot her…and not just home grown vigilantes; a first photo of the current Casey could fetch as much as a half million dollars, maybe more… a first photo of a surgically changed Casey could be double that…and the only way she could go unnoticed would be to go abroad, maybe France, or Bangkok, and blend in.<br />
Who has an investment in keeping her face off the front page right now besides Casey? If she has already made a deal with a show, one built in condition for a million dollar payday would be no photos, no interviews until the one she made a deal to do airs…That means the show could sell leaked photos of her and recoup perhaps as much as half their rights fee to her, OR more…Or Baez could decide he will sell it to a tabloid to put a dent in the money she owes him for repping her. An authorized tabloid shoot for a half million, say…or more.</p>

Breast asymmetry is not uncommon in women; in fact, few women have perfectly symmetrical breasts. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">“Breast shape and size irregularities can cause damaging physical and emotional consequences,” said Miguel Sabino Neto, MD, PhD, lead author of the study. “While plastic surgery of the breast can provide an aesthetically acceptable result with few complications, it is important to also consider the impact on the physical, social and psychological well-being of the patient.”<o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">Thirty-five patients with breast asymmetry were selected for the evaluation of the impact of breast asymmetry surgery on self-esteem and health-related quality of life. Patients that participated in the Brazilian study ranged from ages 16 to 50 years old.<o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">Patients completed the Brazilian version of the SF-36, a quality of life indicator that measures eight dimensions of health status, including physical function, role limitations caused by physical problems, pain, health perception, vitality, social function, role limitations caused by emotional problems, and mental health. Participating patients also completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, which evaluates quality of life based on responses to ten questions on the subject of self-esteem. Both were completed before and after surgery at three and six months post-operative follow-up.<o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">A progressive improvement in all dimensions of the SF-36 was observed, with scores that were significantly higher for emotional factors at three months after surgery and for pain, vitality and mental health six months after surgery. Self-esteem was also found to be statistically significant.<o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial">“These findings underscore the positive effect that surgical treatment can have on patients with breast asymmetry,” said Foad Nahai, MD, Atlanta plastic surgeon, President of ASAPS and Associate Editor of ASJ. “The results of such surgery go far beyond aesthetics, more importantly improving the self-esteem and quality of life of these patients<o:p></o:p></span></td>
