Much-Hyped Cosmetic Surgery Procedures Actually Quite Uncommon

Medgadget.com


Media impressions do distort trends in plastic surgery, but do viewers actually expect them to be accurate? I think most people realize "plastic surgery television" is entertainment.

Jane Fonda: Say No To Plastic Surgery

All Headline News

Hanoi Jane is saying "No" to plastic surgery. Well, that's not really a "No." It's more like a "I know better than you" No. She apparently had a negative experience with breast implants having them removed 16 years ago. A visit to Sweden has "shown her the light."

It seems like the Hollywood types come out with these proclamations frequently. No one ever preaches moderation. They seem to believe that the freakish outcomes seen in celebrities are typical of the average person's experience. They aren't in my practice.

Breast Exam Con

Miami Herald

This almost seems like a summer B movie. An older man with a black bag wanders around offering to give breast examinations. He says it is an "outreach program." Some women let him into their homes.

Then it gets less-than-funny as he proceeds to rape them.

Give him the chair!

Mesotherapy Dents?

FoxNews.com

It seems like other plastic surgeons are seeing funky indentations and complications in mesotherapy patients as well. I like the comment on "Magic wands."

Frequent Tanning May Be Addictive

Medscape News

This funky study looked at people who tan frequently. Giving them opiate blockers induced a withdrawal response. The inference is that tanning frequently plays in your body chemically like opiate addiction.

The definitive derriere?

The Sunday Times

This one is kinda appropriate as I am doing a buttock lift tomorrow. An English psychology professor is said to have defined the measurements of the perfect bottom.

"The perfect female derriere has firmness to the touch and a resilience that prevents undue wobble or bounce, yet looks soft with flawless skin," Dr Holmes said.


Why is it that I never get to be on the fun studies?

Elizabeth Hurley says "No" to Plastic Surgery (for now)

Source: Contact Music (no longer linking their stories as their links do not resolve)


Ms Hurley has joined ranks of the Hollywood types vowing "No" to plastic surgery. The proclamation has come from on high.

She also stated: "British actress ELIZABETH HURLEY has vowed never to succumb to plastic surgery, insisting it makes people look worse than they did before. "

She's only forty. I guess we'll see with time.

Canadian Woman Gets Bad Plastic Surgery In India

Daily Courier Story


A Canadian woman traveled to India for cosmetic surgery and was not happy.

I love this part: Clients must sign a waiver that absolves the company of liability once they’re in the care of doctors.

If everything is so great, why the waiver? There is risk here and the company reps know it.

When you go out of the country, you save money and you accept risk.


Simple.

Katie Couric's face at Awfulplasticsurgery.com

Katie's face looks pretty good to me. The woman is 13 years older than in her before pics! I am not shy about pointing out "fugliness" in some entertainers and I don't know how her face looks in animation, but these still images aren't bad. Take a look:

I wonder if they read the blogs

In looking at some of these cosmetic surgery celeb bits, I wonder if the physicians that performed these procedures ever read the blogs to see how their patients look. I also wonder how many photoshopped pictures find their way online. Could all this stuff be true?

Star Jones bleeding episode details

Gossip Rocks quotes In Touch

Star Jones had a severe bleeding episode during cosmetic surgery recently. This was reportedly during just a breast lift. Details have now expanded the procedure to have included a tummy tuck following large weight loss. Bleeding with multiple large procedures makes much more sense than after a simple breast lift. Significant bleeding after conservative plastic surgery is virtually unheard of.
