Mariah Carey Crazy Eye?

CityRag

It is possible that she may have had a bit too much Botulinum toxin and dropped an eyelid. If so it usually gets better in 2-3 weeks.

Hollywood's Best Breasts?

In Case You Didn't Know Blog

These "Best Breasts" polls always make me wonder. We rarely if ever know what these breasts look like because most if not all the women have not posed au natural. Does this mean the best breasts are the ones we don't see?

I have seen some pretty mediocre breasts that looked great in clothes.



Best Regards and Happy New Year to all,

Ruben Studdard has lost nearly 100 pounds

People Piece

Ruben Studdard of American Idol fame has lost nearly 100 pounds. That is pretty difficult. I have seen plenty of people who have lost 40-60 pounds with diet and exercise. He claims that is how he did it. At that amount of weight loss, however, I suspect he's had a gastric bypass.

Kate Beckinsale's Breast Implant Removal

Good Plastic Surgery

Kate Beckinsale apparently had her breast implants removed. Implants in small-framed patients can be difficult. They don't have a lot of tissue to mask them. Her implants appeared too large and with distortion in her images a while back.

It is not heresy to note that not all patients look better with breast implants. Too large an implant under too little of the patient's own tissue can lead to a pretty odd appearance. This is especially true with silicone gel implants that can encourage more scarring. There are cases in which the removal of breast implants leads to a more attractive appearance than beforehand:

Breast Implant Removal Before and After's - OK everybody. These are not Ms Beckinsale's images.

China's New Adoption Rules

MSNBC


China is certainly not politically correct. As of May 1st 2007, ugly, fat, and single individuals will not be able to adopt Chinese babies. This isn't plastic surgery related, but it is funny and deserves mention.

Gastric Bypass in not a Diet Alternative

AOL on Gastric Bypass

AOL does a feature on Gastric Bypass. It is not a diet alternative. It is major surgery for obese patients with medical problems. And for the record, the lap band is a poor substitute for a formal bypass at least in my opinion.

Gastric bypass is also not plastic surgery. It does often create great patients for plastic surgery however.

Britney Spears' Belly



X17 Image Source

Britney Spears is back in the news and all over the blogs. Of course, her recent club exploits with Paris Hilton were for publicity. What effect they may have on her child custody fight with K Fed the terrible all remains to be seen.

I borrowed this image from X17online as it has been posted elsewhere with comments like all she needs is to do a few more crunches. WRONG!

Britney is a petite woman who has just undergone childbirth (twice) along with large weight gain. She may or may not have had some surgery (tummy work) just following the birth of her second child. If she had cosmetic surgery at that time, the limitations of that timing are becoming evident. I have commented before on my reasons for withholding tummy tuck at the time of childbirth.

The operation has limitations that are worsened by a pregnant patient's condition. Most pregnant women lose weight after the pregnancy and this leads to that which we see in the image above - hanging skin - if tummy tuck surgery is performed before the weight has stabilized. I prefer to perform tummy tuck surgery a few months after pregnancy when the weight as become stable and tissues have softened.

Britney does need to exercise and diet. Clubbing until the wee hours of the morning will not give her back her nice body of years gone by. Exercise will not take away or tighten loose skin. With this said, I think she looks much better than she did a few months ago, but she has a long way to go. I wish her well as she has made the first step in dumping Mr Dead Weight, her ex.

Lipozene

I just watched a Lipozene commercial in my rare television time. What a bunch of bunk. The lady says the stuff is clinically proven. Does anybody know any of these studies? I'd bet dollars to donuts the company paid for the studies and the science has more holes than a slab of Swiss cheese.

Nicole Richie Recent Image




Nicole Richie looks better in a recent image here (found at Bricks And Stones.) She seems to have done well wih her breast augmentation. At least in clothing it doesn't appear that she went too large.

Nicole Richie Breast Augmentation

IVillage

Nicole Richie apparently had breast augmentation. Implants in small-framed patients can be difficult. They don't have a lot of tissue to mask them.

A week or so after this broke we find her arrested for DUI:

TMZ

Bricks And Stones

Someone will probably blame the implants. LOL.

Anyone is allowed to not want cosmetic surgery

Lately my posts regarding entertainers and their statements have been followed by comments and mini-tirades.

To further elucidate my point in these statements:

Entertainers in particular seem to feel some duty to proclaim for the world their distaste for cosmetic surgery and sometimes the people that have it. Many of these same entertainers later have surgery (remember Robert Redford.) Some of those in mid-rant have already had it. That is called hypocrisy.

If I were an entertainer I would note this and just keep my mouth shut. Is that so difficult?

I put the comments of entertainers online here for entertainment. These people have gone on the record. Then we follow them through their lives to see if they stay consistent.
