Did you know that liposuction was invented by two Italian gynecologists from Rome, Dr. Giorgio Fischer and his son, in 1974?

For all of those out there who are thinking about undergoing liposuction:

If you could do nothing but stare at Demi Moore’s abs with contempt and jealousy in her last movie, I have good news. You too can get them with a little lipo. Well, we don’t actually know if it was a little liposuction since the Associated Press just reported that she has spent more than [...]
