1. I would talk to your accountant
2. It will probably not be deductible...the only reason the stripper was able to deduct her breast implants was that they were so freakishly large (56N), so as to put them beyond being useful for everyday life.. Petitioner's expenditures for implants can be analogized to clothing expenditures which, as a general rule, are not deductible as a business expense even when specific types of clothing are a necessary condition of the business or employment. Mella v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1986-594. However, there is a recognized exception to this rule when: (1) The clothing is required and essential in the taxpayer's business or employment; (2) the clothing is not suitable for general or personal wear; and (3) is not so worn. Yeomans v. Commissioner, 30 T.C. 757, 767 (1958).
3. Nope, gotta get your own nosejob
4. Marry her and the cost will be a medical expense which can be deducted on your Schedule A. This cost will be subject to the limitation of 7.5% of your combined AGI.
