I found this very difficult and frustrating.  Some of the words I thought I needed were not in my dictionary or were very different from what I expected:  Silicon was translated to be silicium (!); liposuction was nowhere to be found.  I don't recall having see the expression "couter les yeux et la tete" before (although there is some faint recollection of it).  Poser, used I think in its possible form,  is to install, but not a term I would have associated with breast implants.  I think I need MUCH more information and education in current terminology to feel any success with this translations.  How do I get this?????  Help, please!!
