Why Big Vaginas Are The New Small Penises?

Jezebel.com

Although this piece is not specifically about labiaplasty, the reason more women are considering labiaplasty is touched upon. Being big "down there" for ladies is kinda like being small "down there" was for men not too long ago.

It is a funny coincidence that just as I submit a journal article about labiaplasty to a medical journal, this item hit my radar. It is a small world on the net isn't it?

Hillary Clinton and Another Scandal?




We get scandal after scandal with these Clintons. While I disagree with GW Bush frequently, the Clintons aren't honest. Scary. This makes me into even more of a Libertarian.

Padma Lakshmi and her branding Scar



Source

Padma Lakshmi is the "Top Chef" host who states her long arm scar served as branding for her modeling career. It is all about perspective. These kinds of scars are easy to improve but frequently impossible to eradicate entirely. It is nice but unusual when someone can take a flaw and use it to good purpose.

Colorado Rockies Overrated?

My eight year old loves baseball so I have been watching the world series after the Red Sox quickly dispatched the Angels. The Colorado Rockies really just got killed 4-0 by the Red Sox. What was all the hype?. Their hitting was not good and their pitching was so-so. They were no match for the Sox. Why they were in the series to begin with is beyond me.

Bariatric Surgery



Bariatric Surgery produces good candidates for plastic surgery, but the weight loss surgery itself can prolong your life if you are truly that overweight. This video is a screening tool for those considering it.

Maxim Shows You Implanted Breast Tricks

Video Clip 1

Video Clip 2

Implanted breasts can simulate real breasts but when implants get large and the breasts are pretty small to begin with, there are changes. Here some of the gals show you how they can move their implanted breasts (probably "Under the Muscle" implants.) The above video is kinda not Safe for Work. This is less the case when implants are smaller and tissue is available to cover them.

Anal Atresia and a Protester

This protester apparently has one to spare:




Our government should set boundaries for protesters. Letting any person get this close to the Secretary of State is not good for her security.

Halle Berry and The Jewish Nose

Source

Halle Berry made a joke about Jewish noses the other night on the Tonight Show. When did everyone get such thin skins? The fact that she felt the need to apologize shows how "political correctness" (PC) has become our society's latest runaway train.

Just say it was a bad joke and move on. Geez.


Best Regards,
John Di Saia MD


P.S. There used to be plastic surgeons specializing in the Jewish nose. That was alright though, wasn't it? I think they call it now "Ethnic Rhinoplasty." PC hits plastic surgery. Go figure.

Britney Spears and Well Done Lip Filler



Source

Britney Spears seems to have fresh, but well done lip filler here. It always appears a bit funny right after it is done. This is probably just a few days old. Something has to go well for her. She has had a hell of a time.

Giorgio Armani - Sun / Stock Alert!




Source

Giorgio Armani apparently just gave himself a serious payday. His face is at "condition critical" with sun exposure assuming this image is not doctored. I would recommend a bunch of stuff to reduce his skin cancer risk which appears to be absolute at this time. If he hasn't had skin cancer yet, it appears imminent.

Get out of the sun please sir and get a good surgeon to help you out ASAP!

Cindy Margolis Empowered by Posing for Playboy



Pic Source

Story

"After turning down offers to pose for the magazine in the past, Margolis said she accepted this time because she felt posing nude at the age of 40 is empowering."

What some of the younger bloggers don't understand is that looking like she does at 40 and being asked to pose for Playboy is empowering. I operate on people at this age all the time and very few of them look this good.

Sneaky Plastic Surgery on the WWW

It is a complicated world we live in online in plastic surgery. A decade ago I was more trusting of what I read online regarding plastic surgery. As some of you may know, I have been a contributor to forum boards for about that long. They used to be free of hype and BS. Many of them now are for-profit enterprises that will pitch their sponsor surgeons to you like a television ad.

Recently a kind person posted nice words about me on an online forum. She was deleted as were her posts. She was given no warning or notice as to why this happened. The forum administrator explained that it has nothing to do with the fact that she was recommending a surgeon who had not paid for sponsorship. She explained that online at another board when I told the story as I knew it.

Nevertheless, it is prudent for those of you going online for information about plastic surgery to be careful as to the source. There is a difference between a simple ad and a sneaky paid recommendation.

Specifically if you go to an online forum at which a forum administrator recommends a plastic surgeon to you, your next question should be "Was she paid to do so?"

A few forums at which paid sponsors have been recommended to users by the staff:

Justbreastimplants.com - Admin: Nikki
Implantforum.com - Founder: Rebecca


Best Regards,

John Di Saia MD


P.S. I have contributed to Makemeheal.com for several years now. I am not a paid sponsor. At one time I paid to be a sponsor on Implantforum.com. I received no business from it and discontinued my relationship with them years ago.

Britney Spears and her escape from Facial Fillers Video




Apparently Britney Spears was seen leaving a Beverly Hills medical building and was covering her lips. The paparazzi here better document their feet than Britney's lips. Does anybody have better images? It is hard to critique the amount injected without a good image. Maybe she had it done well?

Porn Star Or Pop Star Game

Liquid Generation Game

Well porn stars and pop stars apparently dress alike. I am not too good at telling the difference in this game. I am sure plastic surgery is to blame.

Isn't it always? LOL.

JK Rowling Plastic Surgery?

Adeline and Hazel ask about J.K. Rowling and possible plastic surgery. The image is small so it is hard to tell but maybe eyelids and perhaps a chin implant. I'll have to look around for better images.

More On Artistic Surgical Center

Projo.com

"The state has suspended the medical license of Dr. Curtis J. Perry, whose cosmetic surgery practice in East Greenwich was shut down last month because the facility was not licensed for surgery and employed “dangerous” practices."

Little emphasis is placed upon the fact that this "facial plastic surgeon" was doing tummy tuck surgery. What part of the face includes the tummy? Maybe that is one of the "dangerous" practices?

One of the biggest cases I have reviewed for the California Medical Board concerned a similar surgeon who performed a tummy tuck with disastrous results. The patient won over $300,000 in a settlement under arbitration in the malpractice suit that followed.

Ashlee Simpson is said to be using Botulinum toxin on her wrinkles. Is it possible: Yes. My youngest injectable patients are in their thirties however. Anyone have any dated images of her frowning to show what her wrinkles might have looked like in animation?

Spice Girls Take Breast Enlargement Cookies

CelebNewsWire

Some of the Spice girls are eating "specialist Japanese cookies in an attempt to make [their] breasts bigger for the Spice Girls reunion tour.

Sporty Spice, who has the flattest chest in the group, is attempting to boost her bust for the tour by eating Japanese 'F-Cup cookies'."



Here we go again: breast enlargement by food. Might we get some bigger spice by Xmas?

Al Gore Wins The Nobel - WTF?

Al "The Earth has a Fee-vah" Gore won the Nobel Peace prize for his hysterical rantings on Global Warming. Where are the storms this year Mr Gore? This reminds me of the prize awarded to Jimmy Carter years ago as North Korea developed the bomb.

Are Vaginal Lips Ever Too Long? - Video Clip Link

Labiaplasty Blog Post

For those interested I posted a video on the labiaplasty blog today (I only really want to serve as comment moderator on one blog - thank you.) It is of a woman with large vaginal lips. The question is whether or not it ever makes sense to reduce labiae? Thanks to Jamie who sent the link to the video.

Buyer Beware - The Plastic Surgeon Is Not In At Artistic Surgery Center

Turnto10.com

"Perry is an ear, nose and throat doctor though his web site claims he's certified to perform facial and plastic surgery. The Department of Health says he's not a Board Certified plastic surgeon."

The funny thing this piece doesn't say is that the restriction was based on a technicality. The surgery center was not licensed. There is no law against a non-plastic surgeon performing plastic surgery. This doctor was trained in ENT - Ears, Nose and Throat. Dr Sullivan's comments in the video are good.

I would only add that if you smoke, stop. It ages skin along with sun exposure. The use of suncreen and quitting smoking are on the top of the "decrease signs of aging" list.

Lipodissolve proves popular despite lack of FDA nod

USA Today

Lipodissolve is out there. Just understand it is kinda an experiment to use it. In a couple of years we might not be saying that though. This is similar to the way Botox started.

One other point in the article: a quoted doctor indicated liposuction was for "pounds." Liposuction is not good for weight loss as we have discussed before. It is a contouring procedure.

‘TV Made Me Beautiful’ Media Query

Hello all,

I have been contacted by Sarah Nixey, a producer working for Proper Television in Toronto. She is working on an episode for “TV Made Me Do It” entitled ‘TV Made Me Beautiful.’ She is interested in speaking with people who have been inspired by makeover programs, like Extreme Makeover and The Swan, to undergo a cosmetic procedure themselves.

If you are interesting in speaking with her please contact me via this post or via my contacts page.
