Answer
Hello Yom,

There's no cheap way of any cosmetic surgery. However, I'm afraid, this is the only honest method of solving such problem as you discribe.

However, in my research of an unusual method of reflexo-therapy conducted at Community holistic health center in North Carolina, there happened to be a few unexpectedly successful skin improvements.
