It seems bone shaving is tipped to become the latest trend in cosmetic surgery. The very thought of it makes my legs go funny!
It’s bad enough thinking of a surgeon coming towards you, wielding a knife but for this procedure, it will be a chisel! Eeek!
You can have bone shaved off your jaw, your nose and even your feet. You can probably say, ‘Goodbye’ to your bunions!
It sounds gruesome but is it something, you might consider?

I wouldn’t consider any ‘cosmetic trend’ and definitely not that procedure, I like individuality and imperfections in people it adds character.
Having a general anaesthetic carries a risk, having one for an unnecessary procedure doesn’t make any sense to me.
Meg, 
l can never understand why anyone has unnecessary operations for vanity reasons.
I had a friend who was theatre sister and was present at many cosmetic procedures. She said, if people viewed what happens during one of these operations, they wouldn’t have it done.
She told me, during a face-lift, your face is literally lifted off! She also, said, people don’t realise it is not a simple operation, it is major surgery.
Yet, some people, go back for more, over and over again!
As for, having your bones shaved… Eeeek!
I wouldn’t but my mate Barry Manilow swears by it.
Longy, Do you mean on his ski jump?
Yes, that was a close shave I’ll tell you. :-p
Witty!
Pity they can’t shave arthritis off!
I wouldn’t do it - but to each his own. I certainly do not want to see it being done by the NHS!
Now that would be useful.
I thought that method has been used for years on nose jobs?
How else do they remove the bone that makes the nose hooked or to make it narrower?
Anyway - if I was younger & I had an ugly nose - yes I would consider it - but I’m not & I don’t.
Yes, you would think that would be possible. I know there are some new treatments around where a hip replacement isn’t actually replaced but more of a resurfacing. I think that’s what Andy Murray had done.
But isn’t arthritis the joints not the bones?
I’m not entirely sure tbh Carol.
