Golly, you look so … good, so relaxed…where did you go over the holidays?
That’s the reaction you want to your surgery after the holidays, so make sure you pick a doc who will preserve your natural beauty, not someone with radical ideas of who he or she wants you to be. You are the boss, so pick a great surgeon, slip away to bounce back and unwrap yourself at the right time.

Her acquiline nose looked just fine to us in the Before photo in the same magazine. As for the after pic, well, it looks….BENT?
We thought her mini ski slope had character and gave her more sould and natural beauty that Barbie Babe. We also note she looks like she’s had a brow lift, and maybe a little botox, that gives her face a frozen look.
In her After shot, we looks like a 40 year old woman with bad plastic surgery when she’s 37 and so full of character in her BEFORE face.
What I tell my clients about nose jobs: make sure you pick a surgeon who does A LOT of noses. It’s the most difficult surgery out there to get right, and your nose will get noticed – especially if it alters the who you are in how you look.
Our favorite Diva of Self-Destruction, Britney Spears, is eyeing more plastic surgery, according to the Dec. 3 issue of weekly Life & Style magazine.
But we’d warn our bayou babe to be careful—and don’t get nipped and tucked for all the wrong reasons—magic thinking that re-curving yourself will make all your problems, poof, go away.
It’s one of the first questions I ask my clients: why do you want to have a little work done? If I start hearing all about your Heartbreak Hotel: fear your man is straying, you gotta look like the Sizzle Sister next door, or in Brit’s case, marriage bust-up, DUI mashups, parenting issues, paparrazi addiction, maybe trying to win back K-Fed, well, it’s been my experience from talking to over a thousand clients (including a few stars who shall go nameless) over the years, surgery won’t salvage a dark night of the soul.
If Brit she gets her internal life straight, and starts feeling good inside her own skin, that’s the time to consider a tweak here or a tuck there. Get therapy, rehab, physically fit, work on the music, kick the CD into play…
From eyeing her pictures, I can see she’s had her lips injected, breasts aug, and nose done. As far as lipo and a tummy tuck, rumor has it she’s eyeing, well, Kanye’s Mom is ever on my mind, so lots of research and a top doc would be my advice, and don’t rush it.
The best results and happiest patients are those who get surgery for all the right reasons.
I am a true believer now. I started using the Jane Marini lash conditioner back in February and I’ve been accused 4 times of having on false eye lashes. This product is truly amazing and if you can be patient you can get the eyelashes you’ve always dreamed about having. The only thing I regret is that I did not take a picture of my lashes before they started to grow. If you suffer from short stubby eyelashes this is product for you. You will be looking like Twiggy before you know it! I promise. Ck out my cool stuff store for more details

The case of a Toronto woman who died after having liposuction is raising concerns about doctors who are performing cosmetic surgery procedures despite not being licensed as plastic surgeons.
Thirty-seven-year-old Krista Stryland, a successful Toronto real estate agent and mother, underwent a liposuction operation at the Toronto Cosmetic Clinic located on Yonge Street in North York last Thursday.
Sources told CTV Toronto that the woman’s heart stopped following the operation to remove fat from her abdominal area
She was taken to North York General Hospital and died despite attempts to revive her.
Dr. Jim Edwards, a Toronto-area coroner, told CTV News the coroner’s office has launched an investigation into Stryland’s death.
“We’re investigating this death because it was considered to be sudden and unexpected,” Edwards said on Saturday.
There are reports that the family doctor who performed the operation had training in cosmetic surgery but was not a licensed plastic surgeon, said CTV Toronto.
“One of the things we will be looking at is the qualifications of the physician who did the surgery,” Edwards told CTV News.
Neither Stryland’s doctor, nor a representative from the clinic was available for comment.
The situation highlights what many plastic surgeons claim is a major problem in Canada’s medical system.
While plastic surgeons are required to adhere to strict regulations and undergo licensing, little can be done to stop family doctors or general practitioners from deeming themselves ‘cosmetic surgeons’ and performing similar procedures under far less stringent guidelines.
Plastic surgeon Frank Lista said plastic surgeons require five years of specialized training to become licensed in the province, but any type of doctor can perform surgery.
“In Ontario any doctor can do any operation on anybody anywhere, Lista said.
“So you could have a GP (general practitioner) taking out a brain tumor on a kitchen table and there is no one who checks that, who makes sure that that kind of thing doesn’t happen.”
North York General Hospital spokeswoman Alison Steeves would not comment on the situation citing privacy regulations.
In 1990, 44-year-old Toni Sullivan died from a massive blood clot two days after undergoing liposuction at a Toronto clinic.
A subsequent inquest into her death recommended The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario define and regulate the difference between plastic and cosmetic surgery.

| New York, NY (June 28, 2007) – The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) announced today that withholding oral intake of food in patients after abdominoplasty (“tummy tuck”) may not be necessary, and that feeding patients earlier could allow for quicker discharge after surgery. Findings from a study investigating the impact of early feeding after abdominoplasty on the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting is published in the May/June 2007 issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal , the Society’s official peer-reviewed journal. These findings are important because abdominoplasty is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure. According to the Aesthetic Society’s statistics abdominoplasty was the fourth most popular surgical procedure in 2006, with 172,457 procedures performed, an increase of 407% from 1997. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is among the most disagreeable experiences associated with surgery, causing dehydration and retching, which can lead to poor wound healing, among other adverse effects. While postoperative management of patients undergoing abdominoplasty has traditionally involved withholding food until patients demonstrate evidence of bowel activity, this practice requires patients to remain in the hospital for the administration of intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration. However, no literature exists to support this practice. “This study demonstrates that early feeding of tummy tuck patients may prevent the need for postoperative hospital admission for intravenous hydration—at least in those patients who can maintain adequate hydration with oral intake alone—and allow for faster hospital discharge,” said Alan Matarasso, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York, NY, lead author of the study. “While there may be other reasons for admission, routine postoperative admission to prevent dehydration may not be necessary. These findings could change the way we care for our postoperative abdominoplasty patients, improving their comfort and safety, and saving on health care costs.” The study consisted of a retrospective review of the medical records of 22 patients who underwent abdominoplasty, divided into two groups. Group I followed traditional guidelines for oral intake; members of Group II were allowed to consume a regular diet immediately after surgery. All other aspects of postoperative care remained the same. There was no statistical difference in PONV between the two groups. Although the findings are promising, physicians remain cautiously optimistic about a full transition to ambulatory abdominoplasty. “Although a number of abdominoplasties are performed as outpatients, for those patients in whom it is deemed necessary, for safety reasons, to undergo the procedure in a hospital this paper demonstrates that early feeding of patients undergoing abdominoplasty is possible. It does not diminish some of the benefits of postoperative hospital admission,” adds Foad Nahai, MD, Atlanta plastic surgeon, President of ASAPS and Associate Editor of ASJ . “Achievement of adequate pain control, maintenance of a semi-flexed position, and patient and surgeon preference are important variables to consider when choosing between admission and discharge.” About |
So many times in my office I have clients say to me “I don’t want to look surprised or look like I’ve had plastic surgery” my answer to that is if you don’t want to look like it, her are a few tips that I have to make you look like you don’t have plastic surgery. Less is always better, example: if you have small lips and you want bigger lips try a little bit of filler and see how you like it. Lips are very hard to correct when they are over done, so if don’t want to look like Goldie Hawn in the “First Wives Club” then do a little bit at a time. Perfect examples of bad lip jobs, Donatella Versace, girl just needs to go on and stop! As well as, Melanie Griffith, Courtney Love,
