Post image for Too Much Plastic Surgery?

Many people either cringe or squeal when they hear the term, ‘The Hills,” or the name Heidi Montag. As some may know from watching the news earlier this year she has come out of her cocoon revealing a tweaked, mannequin looking, new self.

According to abcnews.com, Heidi had 10 procedures performed in 10 hours including breast enlargements, chin reduction, nose job, ears pinned back, lipo, brow lift, etc. At 23 years old most would think these actions are quite extreme especially for a beautiful girl who looked just fine with the skin she was given. Now critics have been accusing Montag of addiction but she begs to differ, “I think I just look like a different, improved version of myself,” she said.

Post image for Cosmetic Surgery Re-Dos

Unfortunately, when a woman gets a face-lift it does not stop them from aging. More often than not a patient that is happy with their new face will still get a re-do face-lift 10 or so years later. Some may argue, but getting plastic surgery is a lot like getting tattoos or piercings…once you get hooked you keep going back for more.

Post image for Saline vs. Silicone Implants…Which is Breast For You?

Decided you’d like to get breast implants? Now you have another decision before you go under the knife…saline or silicone? Doctors say that both are a safe choice but it depends on your body and your preferences.

Saline implants are filled as soon as the surgery begins, the only complaints for saline implants are they tend to feel rather firm and unnatural. Placing the implant behind the chest muscle and adding a bit more saline lessens these problems.

Silicone implants are pre-filled with a sticky, gel fluid that feels more like human fat= regular feeling breasts.

MayoClinic.Com shows that both implants have similar risks:

* Discomfort in breasts
* Nipple/breast sensitivity lessens
* Implants may cause infections
* Breast shape may be altered by scar tissue
* Always a chance for leakage or rupturing
* Additional surgery is a possibility

Post image for “Bo-Tax” Just Turned to a Dark Tax Tan

Plastic Surgeons and dermatologists are letting out a huge sigh of relief since the tax on elective cosmetic surgery, also known as the “bo-tax,” has been dismissed. The new tax that is proposed in the health care bill will be on indoor tanning services.

NYTimes.com reported that the 10% tax on “fake” tanning services will go into effect in July 2010 which means any indoor tanning services provider must add that additional tax onto their services. By 2020 this new tax will have raised close to $3 billion, this money will go to help millions of Americans obtain health insurance.
