NBC San Diego News Story

Posted by admin in plastic surgery complications on September 25, 2007

Hello all,

I was just contacted by Peggy Pico, a reporter working for NBC News San Diego. She is interested in speaking with people who have been treated for tattoo removal, hair removal, or other such “non-surgical” laser procedures in a MediSpa environment. She is writing a story of procedures “gone bad” in such an environment. The ideal patient would be local to Southern California and willing to speak about this with her. Please contact me via this post or via my contacts page if you are interested. [Update 10/3- Please note that this story is filled. No more replies are needed. - Thanks. JPD]

Maybe Laser Surgery shouldn’t be done in a Salon?

This woman had hypertrophic scarring when the laser treatment was obviously set too high. Maybe pay a little more and have a doctor do it?

Demi Moore – $600,000 on Plastic Surgery?!

There are reports of Demi Moore having spent between $400,000 and $600,000 worth of plastic surgery. That includes breast implants, collagen injections, liposuction and a $12,000 procedure to lift sagging skin around her knees.”

She pays much more than the average patient at Beverly Hills prices, but it is still pretty amazing.

Britney Spears, The VMAs and Plastic Surgery

A year or so ago the buzz on the blogs was whether or not Britney Spears had had a Tummy Tuck at the time of her second delivery. After a review of the VMAs, I’d say probably not.

Seeing the VMA clips, it is apparent that Ms Spears did not take her physical condition or appearance into account. Plastic surgery alone would not solve her problem. The whole account does help explain why celebrities are so frequently tempted by cosmetic surgery however. In her case an aggressive tummy tuck could offer flattening of her tummy and deflation of her flanks. It would not make her immune to the effects of too much partying and not enough gym time. These can tarnish the best of surgical outcomes. It also can affect a performance.

China bans Plastic Surgery Television

Breitbart.com


China’s broadcasting watchdog has banned television programs about plastic surgery or sex change operations, branding them as “vulgar,” state media reported Friday.

China has a broadcasting watchdog. We in the US have very little regulation in that regard. A happy medium might be good.

Demi Moore – Good Plastic Surgery Plus…

Posted by admin in good celebrity plastic surgery on September 5, 2007

A post on ICYDK.com asks the question of whether or not Demi Moore is more natural than plastic. Kinda snarky.

Who cares?

People are not diminished by good plastic surgery. Demi has had some good plastic surgery. She also happens to have some very nice “God-given” features.
