Yes, I used to do retouching like this, but follow the link as it shows you the before/after step by step. Retouching is a dark art. Not dark because it’s especially hard, but dark because it screws people up, gives us unrealistic expectations.

None of us are perfect. We all have skin imperfections. We all have bumps where we’d rather not, or bumps that aren’t big enough, and the sooner we get over appearance and treat each other as humans, the better off we’ll be.
