So you are trying to get your rest and pampering before the wedding, maybe stretching it out to a couple of facials or max laser or Vitamin facials. But that's apparently NOT how it's being done in the West (or the East for that matter)! Brides around the world are getting some insane procedures done for months prior to the big day to make sure that they're all wedding-ready from top to toe... even if the magic lasts for only that day.
1. Problem: Wrinkly and dry skin
Solution: Sheep Placenta treatment
Gross, we know. This one is apparently what celebs like Kim Kardashian (no surprises there) and Victoria Beckham use to get plump and firm skin, especially on their hands and cleavage. The placenta comes from some special New Zealand sheep, and is said to be pretty effective if you can get over the grossness of it!
2. Problem: Lacklustre hair Solution: Bull semen hair conditioner If you're remembering the scene from There's Something About Mary, then high five! This one comes as a temporary fix thanks to its wonderful protein-rich properties and is worked into the scalp followed with a blow out. Said to be magical, but yes, again, gross.
3. Double chin Solution: Kybella Double chin ruining your pictures? Don't worry, Kybella is here! All that needs to be done is inject some fat-destroying formulation into the chin, and bam! You get a sharper and more prominent chin! At least that's what it claims! Brides who get it done live with a swollen chin for a couple of sittings spread over a few months, just to get it perfect for the big day! And no, this is not a permanent fix!
4. Problem: Cellulite Solution: Cellfina Don't get fooled by the name! It sounds like something casual, which it isn't. Cellfina is a cellulite-busting technique which claims to smoothen out the thighs and buttocks with the use of needles and bands. But yes, the parts that hit the chair are gonna be pricked, red and sore for a while, but it might just boost the self-confidence on the wedding night!
6. Problem: Sagging skin Solution: Silhouette Insta-Lift This one is a no-knife facelift, that claims to lift sagging facial skin and tightens the muscles without any cuts and grafts. Threads are placed under the skin with a thin needle which goes on over sittings spread over as much as six months! The results are also not permanent, lasting about a year or two. But heck! At least you won't look like gravity has hit to you yet on your wedding!
7. Problem: Sweaty Underarms Solution: MiraDry Sweat like a man? This one is a fix for those sweaty smelly armpits which peek through the prettiest of blouses. This one-hour session claims to zap the sweat glands in the sweaty areas like armpits... but before that comes about three weeks of swollen glands! This solution, however, claims to be permanent!
8. Problem: Not-so-desirable Cleavage Solution: Decolletage Rejuvenation If a good full cleavage without fine lines and sagging skin is what the bride is looking for...then this is what is supposed to come to her rescue. This uses Botox injections, lasers and god knows what all to ensure that you have a sharper appearance when it comes to cleavage! But yes, at least 10 sittings are required almost 2 months before the day of the big reveal!
9. Problem: Sparse brows Solution: Micro-blading Sounds a little scary right? If perfect brows are what are desired, then this is a technique which involves drawing your eyebrows alright, but with an electronic pen! Yup, the pen that they use delivers semi-permanent pigments under the skin which can seriously be mistaken for real brows! Touch-ups are required time and again, but getting them to the point of perfection takes about 3-4 months of appointments!
10. Problem: Bulging tummy
Solution: Hi Def Liposculpture
This one is a step above and beyond a liposuction, which not only sucks the fat out but can even surgically give a washboard tummy with six-pack abs by shrinking the skin! It's way more complicated than a liposuction, but extremely popular! This one, however, has to be planned more than six months in advance to recover from completely!
11. Problem: Chubby face Solution: Buccal lipectomy This one claims to make the cheeks go from chubby to contoured. It involves making a cut inside the cheek and taking out a gum-ball sized chunk of fat from inside both of them, resulting in a slimmer face!

5. Problem: Too many toxins in the body Solution: Leech therapy Some drink gross-looking stuff like Safi, but brides in a different part of the world are taking this a notch higher! Demi Moore advocated it and the whole world went crazy. Lying down in a bathtub full of leeches which suck on your blood for 2 hours is what it takes... but well, they say it improves circulation and detoxifies the body! There's even a snail version of this that's done only on the face!6.
