The palmist says that you're fated to have bad luck. But don't worry! Science is here to save the day:
It’s a simple idea: change your palm, change the reading, and change your future. All you need is a competent plastic surgeon with an electric scalpel who has a basic knowledge of palmistry. Or you can draw the lines on your hand with a marker and let him work the magic you want.
This surgery is increasingly popular in Japan. Dr. Takaaki Matsuoka is a cosmetic surgeon who performs it:
It was January 2011, and a female patient wanted her palm reformatted to bring her better luck. Matsuoka wasn’t sure he could do it.
He scoured medical journals until he found examples of such surgery being done in Korea, studied the methods, then confirmed with the patient what she wanted done, and performed the surgery for ￥100,00 ($1,000). It went well.
The surgery had to be performed with an electric scalpel—which burns the flesh, creating the scent of burnt hot dogs, and leaves a semipermanent scar.
“If you try to create a palm line with a laser, it heals, and it won’t leave a clear mark. You have to use the electric scalpel and make a shaky incision on purpose, because palm lines are never completely straight. If you don’t burn the skin and just use a plain scalpel, the lines don’t form. It’s not a difficult surgery, but it has to be done right.”

If i would believe in palm reading i would also not believe that it would be possible to fool fate by simple surgery.
The person in question has forgotten to have the original lines removed...
Finally i ask myself until when this kind of surgery is going to be used for body-modification in addition to cutting, conventional scarification, branding and tattooing ...
