The Fountain of Youth and Seeking Physical Perfection:

Body Sculpting, Cosmetic Procedures, and Health

You're invited to our next Fourth Fridays lunch

on Friday, April 25

The second most popular graduation gift this year, according to a recent news report, is plastic surgery. It's ahead of cars, and second only to cash.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Botox is now the most popular cosmetic procedure, with liposuction and breast implants not far behind. And despite the war and concerns about terrorism and the economy, the numbers of women and men who choose plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures is higher than ever.

Are these choices safe and effective? Who does the research on long-term risks? How can a woman tell if a procedure is proven safe or still experimental? If you or someone you know is one of the millions of women, men, boys, or girls thinking about plastic surgery, or if these numbers sound a little surprising, and perhaps worrisome, please come to this next Fourth Fridays lunch.

When: Friday, April 25, 12:15-1:30 pm

Featuring: Audrey Sheppard, Former Director, FDA Office of Women's Health

Zuckerman, Ph.D., President, CPR for Women & Families

CPR's Fourth Fridays lunch series is free. Just tell us you're coming and we'll save you a sandwich and make sure you have a place to sit. Our goal is to provide useful information and interesting discussions among leaders from across the spectrum of life in the Washington, DC area, in an informal setting.

The National Center for Policy Research (CPR) for Women & Families' mission is to identify scientific research and medical information that will improve the quality of life for women and families. CPR explains this information to the public, policy makers, and the press. We provide the best information available to everyone who needs it. We don't take money from companies that make the products that we analyze, and we provide our information for free to whoever wants it. On the fourth Friday of every month (except for holiday weekends), CPR hosts an informal lunch on a topic that provides "news you can use."

Thanks to Baja Fresh for providing the lunch and to for providing the refreshments
