Thailand Blepharoplasty

JCI accredited World-class Hospital High Quality, Affordable, No Wait

www.bumrungrad.com/Blepharoplasty

What is the treatment?

Do I need it?

What are the consequences of ignoring this procedure?

Relating to your first question in the title, you are probably somewhat ahead of the average Brit because you spend so much time studying all things Australian you have managed to considerably improve your IQ.

Blepharoplasty is surgery to cut extra skin away from your eyelids. It's quite common with Thais and surprisingly cheap.

My GF wants to get it done because she thinks she has too many lines under her eyes when she smiles. I told her I'm the old bastard with the wrinkly skin, me first.

Knowledgeable old bugger, ain't'cher?

I s'ppose I could have looked it up, but that's the lazy man's way.

Better to get yet another weird thread going in Bedlam.

So, it's eye-circumcision, then? Does the mohel say a little prayer for this? Something about seeing God more clearly?

What happens if they cut away too much? Never sleep again?

I write comments about Australia because there's so little to say about the Land of the Long White Cloud - just walk up mountains, do a bunjy jump off the top and bugger a few sheep on your way to the rugger match. Days get boring after a couple of weeks of that. At least in Oz you can vary the menu with kangaroos and camels. And make wicked comments about Brendan Fevola. But if you're not careful you can wind up living in Perth. So it's not all good.

I see the advart has now changed to eye-lid surgery.

Maybe someone does read TV Bedlam.

I only knew about that because I had a conversation with my lady recently on the subject. I don't know how I associated the word because I'm sure she didn't call it that.

The Fev! We'll miss him! Even thicker than Warnie! The only things funnier are the Freo supporters who think they have a chance of winning today!!!

Not only Kangaroos and camels, I also eaten emu, buffalo, dugong, bustard and even crocodile(!).

There are a lot of reasons I no longer live in Perth, not the least of which is political.

I didn't give Freo a chance last weekend, and look what happened.

Lot of youngsters, determined to make a show. Good luck to 'em.

Yes, I've eaten many strange beasts in my time, never had a problem with meat. In Nigeria I had a problem with a cassava-based porridge called 'Garry'. One mouthful and I was off to the dunny. Be waned everyone.

With Fevola - he's got a nice smile. Can't think of anything else to say - talent gone to the demon drink. We had the same in UK with Arsenal captain Tony Adams. Very good player, but took to drink and gambling and it took years for him to straighten out.

Don't know whether the drink makes 'em stupid, or if they start out that way.

Anyway - get better soon.

Plastic Surgery is very popular in Thailand, however my wife insists she does not need it.

Only last week she said to me "I have the body of a 25 year old".

To which I replied "you should give it back to her, you're getting it all wrinkled".

Thanks to Benny Hill - gotta love him!

Patrick

Not forgetting the one and only Spike Milligan....."I've got the body of a 19 year old. I keep it in the fridge". :)

Regards.

:lol:

"I've got the body of a 19 year old. I keep it in the fridge".

Now there's another little-used word - necrophilia!

Scouse.

One of the things I enjoy, strange foods.

No better place than the Wednesday Summer Night Market.

Takes over at the Queen Victoria market, Melbs, after Xmas annually.

Great ambience and foods to be tried.

Absolutely Fab.

Hope it still runs, in Manila last year, wanna take my new missus.

How much do you think you'll get for her ? If you get a good price, keep us informed and I'll think about taking mine............
