Tara Reid Oxygen Scar Therapy

Star Pulse

This one should probably read (no pun intended):

Tara Reid promotes new project on the back of plastic surgery scars!


Tara reports that she is has been stepping into a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to help her wounds heal after her recent re-operative plastic surgery.


Free advice:

Tara quit the cigarettes and stay out of the sun until your wounds have matured. The hyperbaric therapy is of no proven benefit, then again $85 is cheap for hyperbaric oxygen.

Just Don't Pierce Your Breast

AP via MSNBC

Be careful about that which you pierce. Take into account that a piercing can get infected too. We try to do that which we can in surgery to avoid infection. I do not know anything about how the piercing was performed in this case, but the reconstruction may be difficult.

Joan Collins on Plastic Surgery

Star Pulse

"It's the plain woman's revenge... I think everybody should do what they want to do - if they want to have lips like a trout, let them."


But I really don't want to make a woman look like a fish. We all know lip injections really don't need to look like that, don't we?

Remember "A Modest Enlargement?"


Just say "NO" to the trout pout. :)

Ashlee Simpson warns about plastic surgery

Life Style Extra

It is of course reasonable to think about surgery before having it. Blaming bad looks on cosmetic work and taking credit for anything that looks good, as her sister Jessica seems to do is a bit narcissistic though.


Ashlee's star sister Jessica recently claimed that cosmetic surgery had ruined her looks.

The 'Dukes of Hazzard' actress revealed she had been having her lips "plumped up" with protein-based injections for around 12 months.

However, Jessica, 26, stopped undergoing the procedure because the injections were ruining her "natural looks".

Cindy Crawford admits to plastic surgery

Abc7Chicago.com

Cindy Crawford tells the U.K.'s 'Daily Mail' she's been using a cosmetic surgeon for the past 11 years.

"It had always been assumed the Dekalb native made her millions with her natural looks, but Crawford admitted to the newspaper that she started to get extra help with her looks at the age of 29."

Eva Longoria will "never have plastic surgery"

ChinaDaily



Eva Longoria has said she would never have plastic surgery - because she has a phobia of needles.

"It's not that I'm against people who do it, but I'm terrified of needles," she told Maxim. "I've seen those shows with the operations. The sound of the chisel! Aaah! I almost passed out. No thank you. Egg white omlettes, some exercise and some eye cream is fine for now."


She is now on the record. Let's see.

Operating Upon Tara Reid May Not Be "Taradise"

ShowBuzz

Reading the latest press on Tara Reid (no doubt timed for the upcoming release of "Incubus," a direct-to-Web movie,) I figure that operating upon this young lady might be pretty risky for a surgeon.

Let's see:

(1) She is known to be a partier...alcohol, late nights without rest and cigarettes are not the best for healing patients.

(2) If things don't go well, she will probably use the history of "botched plastic surgery" to promote her next project.

(3) She will likely take no responsibility for a bad outcome. Surgeon and patient share the good and the bad in real life folks.


I hope whomever recently operated to fix the previous results charged her for the risk he was taking.

About the Elle magazine piece

Well for those of you that noticed, I was quoted in the current Elle magazine (November 2006 issue) in a piece about celebrity plastic surgery. I feel like the old Rodney "a little respect" Dangerfield.

Just for clarification, the piece was centering upon nose jobs and I don't do them. I have been more of a bodywork guy. My friends used to call my practice "the BodyShop" perhaps with good reason.

Elle Macpherson softens her view on plastic surgery

Daily India

While she earlier objected to women going under the surgeon's knife to enhance their facial looks, supermodel Elle Macpherson has now changed her hardline stance on plastic surgery, and accepts it's the right choice for some people.

Consider the Following Probable Translation:

Now that I am making money advertising for anti-aging skin care and/or have had cosmetic surgery myself and/or am considering it, I hereby retract my former short-sighted comments. Thank-you.

Vietnam Plastic Surgery Kidnapping?

Thanhnienews.com

Do you really want plastic surgery in a third world country? This story tells about a lady that went to a beauty clinic and was detained for surgery she didn't want.

Doctor Phan Van Nghiem, a high-ranking official of the municipal Health Department, said centers of the kind are only licensed to conduct facelifts and tattoos, not abdominal surgeries and can only offer services over a period of 24 hours per patient.

So it would have been OK if it was a facelift? Scary.

Tara Reid opens up to US Weekly?

Us Weekly Story

In Us Weekly, Tara points the finger at her original plastic surgeon admitting to liposuction and breast implant surgery as well as a recent re-operation. This is pretty typical. While I do not know what she looked like pre-op or what instruction she was given prior to surgery, my understanding is that she smokes. Cigarette smoking can really screw up wound healing in breast implant and liposuction surgery. If she came to the office smelling like cigarettes, I would likely have passed on operating on her.

From the article:

On what went wrong:
“First of all, I asked for big Bs, and he did not give me big Bs. He gave me Cs, and I didn’t want them. At all. Right after the surgery, I had some bumps along the edges of my nipples, but the doctor said, ‘Don’t worry, it’s going to be better.’ But after six months of ‘it’s going to get better,’ it started to get worse and worse.”

Modified breast lifts (I believe that she had one) do cause ripples at the border of the areola where we have seen distortion in her nipple slip images. These ripples usually improve with time. If she started developing implant scarring (capsular contracture), then the appearance of the breasts very well could have become progressively worse. The modified lift might not have been enough to fix the problem and/or the cigarette smoking could have encouraged poor wound healing or the contracture.

When she asked for "Big B's," what did her surgeon say? Targeting exact size in breast implant surgery can be difficult particularly with modified lifts. I do not know what understanding she had with her original surgeon, the particulars of his/her technique or her follow-up.

I hope she stays off the cigarettes and follows her surgeon's advise on this recent re-operation. I guess we'll probably see the results at the next nipple slip.

Kate Beckinsale Hollywood Hypocrite?

Kate Beckinsale may be joining the ranks of the Hollywood hypocrite early if these images are "non-Photoshopped." They look like breast implants to me and not really good ones. Distortion is never good. Maybe she should consider getting them fixed.

I like the building up your character part.

OT - NFL suspends Haynesworth for five games

Fox Sports

This is completely off topic, but a five game suspension is simply not good enough. Attacking as player without a helmet and assaulting him to the point of requiring medical attention may be good for ratings, but is simply not acceptable. This was not an error.

We need our sports figures to start acting like the professionals they a paid so well to be.

We need accountability.

This isn’t simply a violation of the rules. This is a criminal act. This is trauma. There need to be offenses listed as so egregious that a player is fired. He should be tried criminally and fired. Period.


End rant

Young Patient Cosmetic Surgery?

State Hornet


Young people having cosmetic surgery is controversial. Liposuction is virtually never offered to underage patients in my practice. The only exception might be its use in male breast reduction. Liposuction is never proscribed as weight loss.
