The number of men having face lifts in the US increased by 16 per cent year-on-year in 2007, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).Face lifts for women in the country increased by 14 per cent during the same period, the research indicates."It is not surprising that the highly visible focal points of the face and chest would interest both women and men seeking plastic surgery," said ASPS president Richard D''Amico.Even though 91 per cent of plastic surgery procedures are reportedly performed on women, he added that it was "interesting" to see that the rate of increase is "comparable" for both sexes.In addition to there being a higher number of people having face surgery, the ASPS reports that breast augmentat |

An 18 year old recently died during a breast surgery in West Boca Raton, FL. Apparently, 18 year old Stephanie Kuleba was undergoing a procedure to correct her breast asymmetry when she went into malignant hyperthermia and died shortly thereafter.
This is a very unusual situation. Malignant hyperthermia is not a common condition, and the vast majority of plastic surgery performed on healthy people is not associated with a complication, much less a death. This tragedy does highlight the fact that plastic surgery is SURGERY, and must be taken very seriously.
I've been interviewed about this subject and others (Priscilla Presley) on the O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel tonight at 11pm EDT. Check it out if you get a chance!

An internet businessman who owns a popular fashion game where girls can give avatars a ''virtual'' makeover says it is just a game. Chris Evans, 30, said the Miss Bimbo website was a fun interactive game and it was "ludicrous" to suggest it was potentially dangerous. His comments came in the wake of criticisms from parent and health care groups concerned that the girls were encouraged to feed their avatars diet pills and give them plastic surgery. But Mr Evans said: "It is a game, you create your character and you can choose whether to give your character a boob job." A response to coverage on the Guardian website asked if this game, aimed at girls, was any different to allowing boys to play shooting or fighting games. "Games are games |

Almost 12 million cosmetic plastic surgery procedures took place in the US during the course of 2007, new figures reveal.This constituted a seven per cent increase on 2006 and a 59 per cent upturn of figures from 2000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).In addition, there were reportedly 5.1 million reconstructive plastic surgery procedures performed during 2007.Breast augmentation, liposuction and nose reshaping were the top-three surgical procedures undertaken, while eyelid surgery and tummy tucks made up the top five."The report tells me Americans are devoted to looking and feeling their best," said Richard D''Amico, ASPS president."High demand continues for less invasive and relatively less expensive procedures, but |

 There is an interesting story from TMZ.com which speculates that a man posing as a cosmetic surgeon injected Priscilla Presley with industrial, low-grade silicone used in auto parts...possibly at Lionel Richie's home! According to the story:
Priscilla... went to Dr. Daniel Serrano around 2003. Serrano was a good-looking doc from Argentina who... started giving them what he claimed were miracle injections that worked better than Botox. In fact, Serrano was injecting industrial, low-grade silicone similar to what's used to lubricate auto parts... Several women, including Shawn King, Larry's wife, and Diane Richie, Lionel's wife at the time, held injection parties in their homes, with Serrano needling them with the non-FDA approved drug that he had smuggled in to the U.S. |

I happened upon (via a link from Cityrag.com) a list that Maxim.com has compiled of the Top 11 Scariest Celebrity Faces. Click here to start browsing it.
Most of these faces appear to have been altered by overdone plastic surgery, although there are a few which do not appear to be the result of plastic surgery gone wrong.
I understand that Gary Busey was in a terrible motorcycle accident some time ago, which caused significant brain damage and possibly also facial bone fractures. The head injury could explain his extra-friendly behavior to Jennifer Garner on the red carpet of the Oscars, and an orbit fracture can explain the asymmetry in his eyes. He may have a condition of his left eye called orbital dystopia, which occurs when the floor of the eye socket is
