It is the cosmetic procedure that sounds like many women’s dream: increase the size of your breasts by up to a cup size, while taking inches off your tummy and thighs. The operation, carried out under local anaesthetic, involves the patient having fat removed during liposuction, mixed with other body cells, and then reinjected into the breasts. Unsurprisingly advocates believe this development is set to revolutionise the plastic surgery industry. Read More…

When someone you love is depressed, what are the warning signs that suicide is a possibility? Every 17 minutes, someone dies by suicide in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Suicide is the 11th-leading cause of death for Americans, and while it often comes as a surprise to friends and loved ones, it is largely considered to be preventable if warning signs are heeded. “The tragedy of completed suicide is that most could have been prevented if family members knew what to look for,” says Lisa Boesky, a psychologist and author of When to Worry:...

10-minute body language. This week: ways to tell if someone is lying. By James Borg Society would quickly collapse were it not for the dozens of tiny lies we permit ourselves every day.

We all learn to lie at such a young age: every parent will recognise the moment where a child first puts their hand to their mouth before stating a blatant lie. From that moment, we get steadily better at lying...
