Will Casey Anthony have cosmetic surgery?

Filed under: Celebrities,In the News — Carol on July 22, 2011 @ 8:12 pm

If Casey Anthony decided to go incognito for her own safety with drastic cosmetic surgery, what would I recommend? I have had that question asked to me a dozen times since her release from jail. But, for a quick fix, to confuse paparazzi and whackos for now, here’s what she can do:
–get her hair cut short, with stylish bangs and dye it red;
–shape her brows differently, maybe thinner, and dye them red, too, so the carpet will match the drapes;
–get blue or brown colored contacts, AND glasses…
If she decides her face structure needs changes that only surgery can achieve, so she can be invisible in a crowd, she might havae a nose job, cheek implants, jaw implant, shorten her high forehead by bringing down the hairline; alter her round eyes to make them slanted…
She won’t have much choice if she decides to stay in the U.S.; someone will try to spot her…and not just home grown vigilantes; a first photo of the current Casey could fetch as much as a half million dollars, maybe more… a first photo of a surgically changed Casey could be double that…and the only way she could go unnoticed would be to go abroad, maybe France, or Bangkok, and blend in.
Who has an investment in keeping her face off the front page right now besides Casey? If she has already made a deal with a show, one built in condition for a million dollar payday would be no photos, no interviews until the one she made a deal to do airs…That means the show could sell leaked photos of her and recoup perhaps as much as half their rights fee to her, OR more…Or Baez could decide he will sell it to a tabloid to put a dent in the money she owes him for repping her. An authorized tabloid shoot for a half million, say…or more.

Who is Dr. Alan Bittner?

I can tell you who he’s not. He’s a doctor who has the audacity to promote himself as a plastic surgeon, when he’s only taken a course at a hotel on how to perform liposuction. He’s also arrogant enough to promote himself to the Dr. 90210 show knowing he is no more qualified to perform cosmetic surgery. Why? Because he’s a Radiologist. People, what don’t we get about this? Everybody needs to wake up and do their homework about who they choose to perform their cosmetic surgery.

I’m not going to go on and on about this, but please, click on http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123483369375096025.html for more information. Or, if you’re considering liposuction, please go to Amazon.com and order my book, The Little Book of Lipo. It will save you time and possibly save your life.

Mentor Corporation Announces FDA Approval of Prevelle Silk: First Dermal Filler to Prove Pain Reduction in the U.S

Filed under: In the News — Carol on April 1, 2008 @ 11:55 pm
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Mar 21, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Mentor Corporation (NYSE: MNT), a leading supplier of medical products for the global aesthetic market, today announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Prevelle Silk. This is the first of a new line of lidocaine containing hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers that Mentor anticipates marketing and distributing globally.

Prevelle Silk is a colorless HA gel with lidocaine that is injected into facial skin to reduce moderate to severe facial lines, folds, and wrinkles. The product is the first in a new line of HA dermal fillers that Mentor is developing with Genzyme Corporation (NASDAQ: GENZ). Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, is added to provide pain relief at the site of the injection. In a controlled clinical study, patients experienced significantly less pain during injection with Prevelle Silk when compared to an HA product that did not contain lidocaine.

Mentor Corporation has forged a strategic development partnership with Genzyme Corporation, a global leader in the development and manufacturing of HA products. Mentor Corporation will market and distribute the products globally. “We believe both patients and physicians will be excited to have an effective dermal filler option with lidocaine to help make the filler injection more comfortable,” said Brian Luedtke, Vice President of Global Marketing and Sales of Mentor Corporation. “We believe Prevelle Silk will be an excellent complement to our portfolio of lidocaine containing HA dermal fillers, the second of which is under review with FDA and the third in clinical trial. We will shortly begin targeted launch efforts to experienced dermatology and plastic surgery dermal filler customers and anticipate a broader U.S. commercial launch in combination with our second dermal filler later this year.” About Prevelle Silk PREVELLE SILK is indicated for injection into the mid to deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds). In clinical studies, adverse events were usually mild to moderate in nature, did not require intervention and lasted seven days or less. The most common side effects included temporary injection site reactions such as swelling, pain/tenderness, redness, and lumps/bumps.
