Some minor cosmetic surgury via Photoshop

[Cruzan]

Wanted to see what she'd look like without the drooping eyelid and thought I'd take care of a couple other things while I was at it.

4. nice job part deaux

i know a young man who got cosmetic surgery for a drooping eyelid and it does make a difference, doesn't it?

you have a gift w. photoshop and w. showing the possibilities and i think you did a nice job

more information is better than less information, whatever she ultimately decides to do

5. Thanks, my Photoshop skills are really primitive

All I did for the eye (if you haven't already figured it out) was take the other eye, flip it horizontally, rotate it a couple of degrees, paste it in, and smooth out the edges with the Blur tool. I did something similar with her teeth, and just covered the moles with a patch nearby.

I've taken a number of pictures of her over time and always wondered how much fixing her eye would improve her looks. Then it just occurred to me, 'Hell, maybe I could do a half-assed Photoshop job on a shot and see.'

She really is a sweet girl, and if I can get the spare cash together, I'd love to get her eye fixed. Supposedly the procedure if fairly straight forward.

6. Has she said she wants to get it fixed? nt

7. She brought up the idea originally.

8. Okay, just checking.

Otherwise, you know, it could be kind of insulting.

My father just had it done a month or so ago, and insurance covered it, because it (just the one eye) had gotten droopy enough that it interfered with his peripheral vision. So that made it a health concern, not cosmetic surgery. That might be something to at least check on if she has insurance, even if she is considering it cosmetic.
