Plastic Surgery in a Down Economy?

A recent article in amNY states that some unemployed New Yorkers are seeking plastic surgery to get them ahead in the competitive workforce. In a depressed economy, it is not uncommon to see patients return to the plastic surgeon's office for a little pick-me-up, be it Botox, Juvederm, or even a surgical procedure like a facelift.

Many view the recession as a time to "take care of business" and get some of those enhancing procedures done to stay competitive in the workplace. We see men and women that remain devoted to their surgery date and opportunity to look better, despite the economic climate. Just as long as those interest rates don't skyrocket too much, right? For more information, read the article below!

Angelina Jolie - Most Requested Celebrity Features by Patients

The newest members of the Pitt-Jolie family are twin babies who were born in July. She gave birth to twins just 3 months ago and she looked great on the red carpet on Saturday for the New York City premiere of her new movie "Changeling." Where did all the baby weight go?
A recent poll conducted by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery revealed that, when asked which celebrity's features they most wanted, a majority of patients would like to resemble Angelina Jolie. No surprise there! She has many defining and beautiful features that are considered aesthetically appealing; including her curves, her voluminous lips and defined cheekbones. It is not uncommon in our office for patients to bring in photos from magazines and ask if their nose can be chiseled, or lips can be filled to look more like hers. (Rest assured, physical perfection is neither standard nor natural: look back at her early photos as a teen and ones from now and you can see she has likely undergone rhinoplasty to narrow and refine her nose).
In an article in My Park Magazine, Brad Pitt's abs were also mentioned as one of the most requested celebrity features by patients. While it is not unusual for patients to request to resemble certain features or body parts of celebrities, it is important to have realistic expectations when undergoing plastic surgery. No one is perfect - not even Angelina Jolie!

The Real Story of the Ugly Duckling, Playboy style

The Girls Next Door, also known as The Girls of the Playboy Mansion, is an American reality television series broadcast on the E! cable television network. The series was created by executive producer Kevin Burns and Hugh Hefner, founder and editor-in-chief of Playboy magazine. The show has been going strong for 6 seasons and has brought the life of this legend and his three blonde girlfriends into millions of viewers living rooms.
According to wikipedia.com, "Madison moved to Los Angeles in 1999 to attend Loyola Marymount University, where to make money she competed to become a Hawaiian Tropic model and worked at Hooters. This led to invitations to the Playboy Mansion, at a time when Hefner had seven other girlfriends. Madison moved into the mansion and became one of Hefner's official girlfriends in August 2001, after more than a year of visiting the mansion. In February 2002, after all but two of his girlfriends left, Madison became Hef's "#1 Girl" and moved into his bedroom at the mansion."
Any die hard fan can tell you, that Holly hasn't always looked like the Holly we now see on our television screens every Sunday night. On the inside she may still be the same, but she has definitely had some help to improve her exterior.



According to goodplasticsurgery.com they seem to believe Holly has undergone multiple surgeries including, facial fillers (to make her cheeks and under eye area fuller and younger), lip augmentation, rhinoplasty and also a brow lift. They seem to have forgotten the most noticeable one, breast augmentation!

Whatever she has actually had done she looks beautiful and not overdone (in a bleached blonde-Playboy bunny kind of way- hey, everything is relative!). If she's thinking any more work in the near future, I'd advise her to stay away from having anything else done for a while. Its amazing what her "before" pictures look like, compared to the ones now; Amazing but subtle transformation. She's got a very good plastic surgeon.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Congratulations to Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds - Married this past weekend

Here's some proof that Scarlett is one of the most beautiful people in Hollywood:
From an article on makemeheal.com
In Touch Magazine "Best Pair of Breasts in Hollywood"
Esquire and FHM Magazine "Sexiest Woman Alive"
She was awarded second place in the "Most Kissable Lips" contest

Now, the verdict is still out as to whether she has undergone a rhinopolasty procedure. By the looks of these pictures, the bridge of her nose appears narrower and her tip is less bulbous. She has not admitted to having her nose surgically altered and actually was upset by an article in US Weekly Magazine that claimed she was one of Hollywood's many actresses to undergo cosmetic surgery. It could be the make-up, lighting and photography.....but I guess we'll never know!

New State Law in California sets Welcomed Precedent for Patient Safety after Donda West's Death

The California Senate has approved new laws relating to plastic surgery following the untimely death of Donda West. The Senate announced on Thursday that the new laws require patients to undergo a physical examination before any surgery takes place (we as plastic surgeons call this a "medical clearance" and it is obtained in order to assess the medical status of patients undergoing elective surgery; seems pretty basic and common sense, huh?).

Senator Mark Ridley Thomas admitted that the new legislation was in direct response to West's postoperative death in November last year. Ridley-Thomas told the Los Angeles Times: "Many of us are concerned about the quality of care extended to those who receive elective surgery.” Source: Taletela.com

West was undergoing a tummytuck, or abdominoplasty, and liposuction combined with a breast reduction shortly before the time of her death. Here is the story as it broke on FoxNewsLive when I was interviewed about it.

I hope this will inspire similar legislation all over the United States for the sake of patient safety. Board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, credentialing in local hospitals, and verification of licensure and any disciplinary action are all important things for consumers to research when picking a plastic surgeon these days.
