DIMENSION. That was the problem according to May Wong of the Maggie Beauty Centre in Causeway Bay, who said my face was lacking it completely, writes Luisa Tam.
''But we can correct that by giving you a new nose,'' said Ms Wong, who is in charge of the beauty centre and one of the consultants.
She claimed if I wanted that extra dimension I had come to the right place as sex symbol and movie star Veronica Yip Yuk-hing had used their services to have her own nose fine-tuned.
Ms Wong also claimed that I could have Yip's well-chiselled nose that afternoon if I agreed to part with $28,000.
Maggie Beauty Centre is one of many beauty parlours which hook customers through glossy magazine advertisements promising cosmetic miracles.
The visit was part of a South China Morning Post investigation into how some beauty parlour operators break the law by offering illegal cosmetic surgery and using unethical sales techniques to get business.
