Are These Really Making A Comeback?

   Time was not so many years ago, women (and a lot of men) would wrap themselves up in corsets. For women, to give them an hourglass figure. For men to flatten the tummy. In days gone by, they were made of cloth, leather and whale bone for stiffness.
   Now, it's plastic in the cheaper ones, and spring steel in the more expensive varieties. And it seems lacing up in one of these is becoming trendy in L.A. These are worn under medical supervision, and with good reason.
   A plastic surgeon says wearing the devices for hours can contract the ribs and reshape the waist. But some experts also warn they could contract bone and muscle, harming internal organs and causing health problems.
   Personally, I don't think women need artificial enhancements.
