The Directory

The directory is a collection of medical devices and technologies that can be used to upgrade your body. Registered members can submit listings for free, rate products, favor products and write reviews. The higher a product is rated and favored overall, the higher in the category list they will appear.

It has been designed this way so the average person can select what they'd like done and then compare and further research the entries in order of most popular.

Any logged in member can submit a product that matches the categories of the directory. The entries are usually medical devices, implants or the machines that are used to perform procedures. We encourage members to contribute to the directory by submitting as often as they like. The listings themselves should be factual only. Comments, opinions and experiences can be added as reviews. When submitting a listing you can add the listing to multiple categories that match the product.

If you can't find a suitable category for a product you can suggest one by clicking the 'suggest a category link'. The new category will appear in the directory once approved by the administrator.

Upgradeyourbody.com is committed to not breaking any copyright infringements. We aim to allways get permission from each company first before uploading their logos or images. If you are submitting a company or business that you do not belong to, please do not upload such images. You can upload basic information like product name, manufacturer, a brief description and youtube video if available.

If a company or business finds themselves already listed in the directory they can browse to their listing and click the 'claim' button. A message will be sent to the siteadmin for approval. Once approved the new owner can update, correct, or delete.
