NECKLINES are an integral of part of clothes such as shirts, blouses and jackets. There are different types of necklines. They include the V, round, shoulder, crew, keyhole, halter, turtle and boat necklines.
V neckline looks like a “V” on the neck. The round neckline looks like a cycle on the neck. While the boat neckline, also called bateau neck or Sabrina neckline, is a wide neckline that runs horizontally, front and back, almost to the shoulder point across the collarbone.
The turtle neckline, also known as roll-neck, polo neck or skivvy, is a popular style among men and women. The keyhole neckline on the other hand is similar to a halter-neck; the converging diagonals of the neckline’s construction meet at the front. The shoulder neckline sits off the shoulder or below.
Furthermore, the crew neck is a type of shirt or sweater that has a round neckline and no collar, often worn with other layers. Finally, the halter neckline is a type of women’s clothing that runs from the front of the garment around the back of the neck and leaves most of the back uncovered.
The fact that the neckline is a defining part of dress is the reason many people, especially women, like to go for dresses with elegant necklines.
Second British woman dies after undergoing ‘Brazilian butt lift’ surgery
A second British woman has died after a Brazilian ‘butt lift’ operation, it has emerged.
The victim, who is in her late twenties but who has not been named, underwent the surgery earlier this year.
An inquest into her death is expected to take place in the coming months.
It has sparked fresh warnings over the risks of the operation in which fat is taken from another part of the body and injected into the buttocks.
In August 29-year-old Leah Cambridge died while undergoing the £3,000 procedure at a clinic in Turkey.

She suffered three heart attacks on the operating table at the Elite Aftercare Clinic in Izmir, which is popular among reality stars like those from The Only Way is Essex.
In light of the second death, The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (Baaps) issued guidance that all BBL procedures should be paused.
Dr Aamer Khan from the Harley Street Skin Clinic told MailOnline: ‘They gave the advice that we should cease all BBLs.
‘That’s the advice they are giving out but we need to think about it carefully. If we stop people seeking butt lift surgery in the UK they will go overseas.
‘People are lured by the lower cost and is it still very risky. One in 3,000 are dying worldwide and it is far too much.’
Gerard Lambe, consultant plastic surgeon and Baaps, told the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire show that it is the most dangerous cosmetic procedure to undergo.
There is a risk that fat injected into large veins can travel to the heart or brain, leading to severe illness of death.
‘It has the highest death rate of all procedures due to the risk of injecting fat into large veins in the buttocks, that can travel to the heart or brain.’
One 23-year-old woman from Wales – who did not want to be named – said she had been left scarred for life after having BBL surgery in February in Turkey.
Three months after the procedure, infected holes appeared on her bum cheeks and she couldn’t walk properly.
She said her bum was leaking for three months, soaked her clothes and she had to bandage it up every day.
The woman told the BBC: ‘I honestly wish I could go back.
‘I was happy with my body before. And now I paid a stupid amount of money to look like this.’
WHAT IS A BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT?
A Brazilian Butt Lift uses fat transferred from other areas of the body, such as the love handles, hips or stomach, to provide patients with a fuller derriere.
Clinics report the procedure, which costs between £6,500 and £10,000, has seen more than a 50 per cent increase compared to five years ago.
The procedure’s nickname was coined in 1996 after Dr Leonard Grossman was filmed performing fat transfer surgery on a patient from Brazil.
The surgery takes anywhere from one to two hours to perform. The amount of downtime ranges from one to three weeks, plastic surgeons claim.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Liposuction to remove fat from abdomen/hips/thighs
- Fat is ‘processed’
- Fat is injected into buttocks
BBL STYLES:
- Upside-down heart, or ‘A-shape’: Much smaller waist and larger buttocks towards the bottom
- Round: emphasis on increasing the size of the butt, not pulling in the waist or thighs
HOW TO PREPARE:
- Don’t smoke (increases infection risk and blood clot risk)
- Don’t gain weight (when you lose it again, your butt will change)
RISK OF DEATH:
Higher than most operations – 20 in 100,000 compared with 1 in 100,000.
There are two major risk factors that can make a BBL fatal:
- Blood clots travel to lungs
- Accidental injection of fat to blood vessel
RECOVERY:
- Don’t work for 10 days
- Don’t sit for 6 weeks
- Sleep on stomach
- Final shape will take months or a year to form
Baaps also estimates that the NHS is paying up to £13,000 per patient for people seeking treatment as a result of the surgery going wrong.
The numbers of women also seeking legal action is rising, as many are forced to take time off work or suffer psychological issues.
Cheryl Palmer Hughes, a solicitor from Irwin Mitchell specialising in claims arising from cosmetic surgery abroad, told the BBC: ‘Before this year, we had maybe one or two in the three to five years before that.
‘But since March this year our specialist team at Irwin Mitchell had had 12 inquiries about this specific procedure, carried out abroad, where it has gone wrong.
‘Mostly people suffer from infection, sepsis, they have had abscesses, ongoing pain, mobility issues, and psychological problems.’
