Good Tax News for Vaginoplasty Patients
The tax news just keeps getting better in the world of plastic surgery, especially for vaginoplasty patients.

The Fad of Plastic-Surgery Addiction
I remember a few years ago, it seemed all the rage to admit to a worldwide audience, usually on a TV talk show, to have all manner of emotional baggage. Oprah admitted to having been sexually abused , Marie Osmond confessed to struggling with depression, and we all remember Hugh Grant apologizing on THE TONIGHT SHOW for his fling with a prostitute. … [Read more...]
