The surgery: Transfers fat cells from your body into multiple layers of your buttocks to enhance both shape and size. Often, additional liposuction is done around the rear to improve contouring and the appearance of a lift.
Average cost: $4,665
Procedure time: 2-3 hours
Recovery time: 10-15 days, full recover 4-6 weeks

The Wow: While the focus of this operation is on the rear, women say the additional lipo really transforms the shape of your entire body. "If you want hips, I would honestly say just get a fuller butt because my transfer makes me look like I have hips now. Coca cola shape! It's awesome," one happy patient writes. Other perks? "My butt was covered in cellulite before and now there's none!" says one reviewer.

The Ow: This may seem fairly obvious, but be sure to wrap your head around the fact that won't be able to sit down for a good 10-15 days after surgery. "I'm so sick of being in bed on my stomach, my neck is killing me," one woman laments. Time to get creative. "I sleep on a layer of pillows to keep my back from hurting, my feet elevated, my knees from being sore and my head at the same level as my body," another suggests. Oh, you'll also have to invest in a female urinal ("it works wonders; got it at Walmart for $5.99!").

The surgery: Removes excess skin to reduce thinning, crepe-y eye skin, drooping lids, puffy under eye bags and dark circles. Also performed to create/accentuate an eyelid crease.
Average cost: $4,075
Procedure time: 30-45 minutes per eyelid
Recovery time: Stitches removed in 3-4 days, 8-10 days to resume normal activity, makeup can be applied by day 8

The Wow: The relatively short recovery time and noticeable results for this procedure is a big plus for women who opted to have blepharoplasty. One woman elaborates: "My eyes were very droopy and I looked very tired. I had thought about upper lid surgery for a few years but was reluctant. I am so pleased with the results. The pain was minimal and the healing process was quicker than I ever expected. My eyes look 20 years younger. I should have done this sooner."

The Ow: Compared to slicing your stomach or arms open, this procedure may seem less serious, but women warn you'd be foolish to think so. "Plastic surgery is surgery! Hydrocodone makes you constipated! Local anesthesia is still anesthesia and will rattle your brains! Do not undertake this endeavor lightly," writes one post-op patient. Women also report getting pink eye in addition to their "black eye."

The surgery: Removes and tightens sagging skin in the face and jowls, reduces wrinkles, fine lines and deep folds from the forehead to the neck.
Average cost: $11,025
Procedure time: 3-4 hours
Recovery Time: 2-3 weeks, but the older you are, the longer the healing time

The Wow: Once swelling has subsided, many women echo the same phrase: "I feel like a new person!" "I am completely happy with my results! The first week was the hardest part, but once I was able to shampoo my hair by the third day I felt brand new! My neck looks fabulous and much more youthful!" another pleased patient notes. "My husband and daughter both tried to reassure me that I didn't need surgery, but both now agree that the transformation is fantastic. I am thrilled with the results. This change has given my self confidence an enormous boost and I feel absolutely elated."

The Ow: At least in the short-term, prepare yourself to adjust to "living with bags of peas on [your] face." "My ears continue to be painful and I am sleeping basically sitting up," one woman writes, while another offers up a more vivid image: "My ears are now like cauliflower and one is folded over at the bottom lobe section from being so swollen as well." One woman's doctor recommended one-hour facial massages to help with lymphatic drainage. Afraid to leave the confines of your home so swollen? "Bless you recliner chair! My advice to anyone getting this done ... use it if you have one, go buy one if you don't. Wish I wouldn't have waited 'til two days ago to get it."

The surgery: Lips are enhanced with dermal fillers like Restylane or Juvederm for temporary plumping, fat grafts, or permanent change with silicone.
Average cost: $1,853
Procedure time: 30 minutes or less, 2 hours or more for fat grafting
Recovery Time: 10-14 days for bruising to disappear

The Wow: Women who had dermal fillers injected worried about looking overly "done" pre-procedure, but were pleasantly surprised by their surprisingly normal appearance after the injections. "I was afraid it was too much, but after a week the swelling is gone and I love my lips! They don't look done, they look great!" one woman writes. Another satisfied filler recipient notes that she has to check to remind herself she even got a procedure done. "I cannot tell that anything is in there. It's crazy. I can touch my lips and they feel the same ... I even look in the mirror at times to make sure it's still there and sure enough, it is."

The Ow: While some women opt for permanent lip plumping with solid silicone implants, doctors advise against it because they're very difficult, and sometimes impossible, to remove. "The scariest day for me was day three ... I looked totally weird and fake and plastic," says one woman, who ultimately ended up happy with her permanent implants. One woman who opted for temporary fillers writes: "No lost sensation, no changes in speech at all, not even immediately after surgery. Only difference is when drinking out of a bottle, like a water or soda bottle, felt funny at first." Practice before dining in public!

The surgery:: Removes fat, typically by suction, via a hollow tube that is passed through fatty tissue.
Average cost: $2,884
Procedure time: 1-2 hours
Recovery time: 2 days, but you'll be sore for 1-2 weeks

The Wow: After years of frustrating diets and exercise routines that net few noticeable results, women who have had liposuction say they love their new figures. "I can wear anything and not have any bulges [or] lumps of any kind. It feels so good!" one woman writes. "My results are smooth and everyday I see my old figure more and more," another adds.

The Ow: If you're under local anesthesia, you will be up and moving the next day ... but you'll also be leaking fluids for the next two, so don't rush back to work. Although this procedure has one of the quickest recovery times, you'll have to wait for swelling to go down before you see real results. "I literally have a prego belly right now from the padding! So frustrating, because I can't tell any difference other than looking fatter," one woman writes. "It's a very, very, slow process. I had no idea what I was getting myself into!" Simple things like showering and going to the bathroom will become a mission. "Take your stool softeners!" one woman warns. We'll leave it at that.
