Bruce Jenner

Bruce Jenner is speaking out about his plastic surgery.

“If you Google my name, the worst plastic surgeries of all time, or whatever it is… They’ve compared me to Michael Jackson,” Bruce once said on an episode of his reality show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.”

Both Bruce and Michael were called out for going too far. After undergoing a nose job and partial face-lift in 1984, Bruce’s post-plastic surgery face has been ridiculed and attacked in the media.

“‘Because you’re Bruce Jenner, Olympic champ [people said], ‘Oh my gosh, you shouldn’t be doing things like that.’ The media kind of went nuts on that stuff,” Bruce told Access Hollywood’s Maria Menounos.

When asked why he underwent surgery, Bruce said he “was just going through a bad time.”

“I don’t think you ever had a lot of self esteem,” his wife, Kris, added.

“I had just gone through my second divorce, lost a lot of money. I was in a little dinky house,” Bruce added. Read Full Story Here

Monica Hansen

This week Maxim model, Monica Hansen, was awarded a $564,555 default judgment, according to TMZ.

The 6’1″ Norweigian model, who has been a cover girl for Maxim, Stuff and Esquire magazine, recently sued her breast implant plastic surgeon for using her image without her permission. Ms Hansen was named Maxim Woman of the Year in 2006.

According to the suit, Dr. Leonard M. Hochstein, used photos of his former patient to advertise on his website lhochsteinmd.com. The pictures have since been taken down but according to Ms Hansen, the damage is done. She said that didn’t give him permission and she has filed court documents in order o be  compensated for the breach.

The judgment is not a reflection of the plastic surgeon’s work.

Rachael Weisz

UK actress, Rachael Weisz, compares Botox to steriods and wants them banned for actors.

According to Fox news “Rachel Weisz thinks Nicole Kidman is to acting what Barry Bonds is to baseball.”

At least that’s what the “Mummy” star tells the August issue of the UK edition of Harper’s Bazaar.

“It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen,” Weisz says of Botox. “Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?”

The London-born Oscar winner also says she’s much more comfortable back in jolly old England than she is in appearance-obsessed America.

“I love the way girls in London dress; it’s so different to the American “blow-dry and immaculate grooming” thing,” she says.

But she is comfortable with traditional female roles. Very traditional.  Married to director Darren Aronofsky, she says “I am cave-woman to his man – man.”

Karen Mulder

July 1, 2009 Paris – Dutch Supermodel Karen Mulder was arrested in Paris on Wednesday after allegedly threatening to attack her plastic surgeon. Mulder is being held at a police station in the French capital following ‘vicious telephone calls’ directed at the female medic. The 39 year old supermodel was thought to have asked for a previous operation to be reversed.

‘She was screaming and shouting about the operation and became extremely threatening. ‘There were repeated calls to the female surgeon who was extremely scared. The suspect is being interviewed, said a detective.’

Mulder was arrested at around 10am and is being kept in a cell in the eight arrondissement, the epi-centre of Paris haute couture.

The stunning supermodel was dubbed ‘The Blonde with Class’ by Vogue magazine, before retiring she was earning up to £10,000-a-day at one point.

Watch video of Karen Mulder earlier in her modeling career. She is absolutely breathtaking.

She became famous for appearances in a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and for doing work for the Victoria’s Secret catalogue.

In 2001 she claimed she and other models had been used as sex slaves by senior politicians and policeman, even falsely claiming she had been raped by Prince Albert of Monaco.

She attended a psychiatric hospital suffering from chronic depression, blaming it on drug addiction during her modeling days.

A year later she attempted suicide by taking an overdose of sleeping pills and was only saved by friends. She was once a close associate of French first lady Carla Bruni.

In an interview earlier in her career, Mulder said: ‘From the beginning, I  hated being photographed.

‘For me, it was just an assumed role, and in the end, I didn’t know who I  really was as a person. Everybody was saying to me, “Hi, you’re fantastic.” ‘But  inside, I felt worse from day to day.’

Mulder has had a roller coaster love life. At age 20 she married French  photographer Rene Bosne which ended in divorce a few years later.
In 1993 she was engaged to property developer Jean-Yves Le Fur, but that  relationship ended as well.

Two years ago Mulder made a brief return to the runway alongside Campbell, and other supermodels including Linda Evangelista and Helena Christensen.

Before perfoming plastic surgery on any patient,  plastic surgeons not only have to look at the patient’s overall physical history, but mental history as well. If a potential patient has a history of depression, psychiatric care, suicidal attempt, look out.

Visit Get Meso where you can find plastic surgeons and information about fat removal procedures such as Smartlipo (laser lipo) and non surgical procedures such as mesotherapy and lipodissolve.

A unique procedure called Smart Lipo, a brand name for laser lipo, is different when compared to other fat removal procedures on the market today. The procedure is actually very simple and uses state of the art laser technology. Smart Lipo, also known as laser lipo, liquefies fat deposits which are then removed through a tiny pin point incision made by the cosmetic surgeon. A local anesthetic is used in the area. Smart Lipo is an FDA approved procedure that resuts in minimal bruising or swelling.

The patient must be 18 years of age or older and in good health in order to have the procedure. This type of procedure is not recommended for patients that are twenty five pounds or more over their ideal BMI (body mass index). Smart Lipo is aimed at people who have tried every diet under the sun, have exercised till they have dropped and still find it hard to reduce fat on those stubborn areas. Does this sound like you? If so then this procedure is perfect for you. Afterwards, it is recommended that you enhance the results by continuing your diet and exercise routine.

So where do you start? The answer is to visit GetMeso.com, a Smart Lipo doctor and information site where one can search for laser lipo information and doctors. Here you can visit the doctor profile pages which link to their websites. After you find your nearest doctor, the next step is to set up a consultation. The consultation will give you the chance to find out exactly how you can be helped and will give you the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have about the procedure.

After the procedure, you will usually wait one or two days before you can go back to living your life normally. Depending on your doctor’s instructions, the bandages only have to be kept on for a week or two. You will also find that your skin begins to tighten around the areas that are treated (usually 6 weeks after treatment) unlike traditional liposuction where your skin can remain lax due to large volumes of fat being sucked out. With Smart Lipo this does not happen, because when liquidizing the fatty deposits the laser promotes the skin to repair itself, thus making the skin tighter.

Smartlipo costs are very competitive and average from around $2,000 for small areas to around $5,000 for larger areas. Combinations of areas are usually calculated at a slight discount. Compared to liposuction, Smart Lipo prices are generally thirty percent less than traditional liposuction and in some cases the results may be better.

Pioneering minds have really opened up the market and produced an amazing safe way for people to enjoy the benefits of liposuction but without the down-time, pain, general anesthetic and cost. They have introduced to the world laser liposuction (also known as the brand name Smart Lipo). A laser is used at a certain frequency to liquefy the fat deposits in areas around your body that are prone to stubborn fat that is hard to remove. Then, under a local anesthetic, this liquid is removed from the area by a small needle which drains it away. The procedure is very painless and the reported results are astounding. Thousands of people are now able to lose weight without weeks of down-time. The total down-time for laser liposuction is usually 1 to 2 days. The bandages are only kept on for a week – possibly two, depending on your healing rate. This means that you are able to go back to work in record time. The cost of the procedure varies from clinic to clinic but on average it is up to 40% cheaper in some areas than the traditional form of liposuction being offered.

There are several places on the body that this treatment can be used including the stomach, hips, love handles, bottom, face, chin, neck, arms and even fat removal in the area commonly referred as “manboobs”. There are some limitations to those who can actually have this procedure done. It is advised that laser lipo should only be carried out on patients that are no more than approximately 25 to 35 lbs over their target recommended Body Mass Indexed (BMI) weight. It is designed and marketed to people who eat well and exercise often but still find that they cannot get rid of fat in stubborn areas. This procedure is perfectly suited for the person who already exercises and is aware that this is not a miracle treatment. It does require a healthy regimen to maintain the results achieved by the procedure.

The results achieved after the procedure will last as long as you allow it to last. If you gain weight significantly, then you will find that the problem will return so you have to make sure you maintain a healthy routine. People who are in bad health, who have kidney and liver problems, diabetes, heart issues, cancer, certain skin disorders and are 25 – 35 lbs overweight should not undergo laser liposuction.

Laser liposuction can remove fat within a thirty to forty minute session, with approximately two weeks between each session to allow time to heal. The number of sessions required will be determined by your doctor.

If you are contemplating having cosmetic surgery done, the most important decision you will make is choosing a reliable cosmetic surgeon. If you want to rule out possible complications arising out of a cosmetic surgery procedure or want to minimize risks, you need to choose a trustworthy, reliable and qualified cosmetic surgeon. Given below are a few reasons why it is important to choose the right cosmetic surgeon.

1. Cosmetic surgery involves complex medical procedures and has to be carried out under the supervision of a reliable surgeon. These surgeons need to have a medical license to practice their art. A whole lot of training is required to be a good cosmetic surgeon. If you find one with such qualities, you know he or she will be more reliable than others.

2. Among different types of cosmetic medical treatments available is mesotherapy. It is a non-surgical treatment that involves homeopathic medications and so on. Mesotherapy employs multiple pharmaceutical injections that are commonly given to target fat cells. Carrying out complicated treatments like Mesotherapy does not require a surgeon but does require qualified specialists trained in the field and highly reliable at that.

3. To remove fat from different sections of the body, lipoplasty or liposuction is carried out by a surgeon. It is a skilled procedure and requires a reliable surgeon to carry it out. Many people misunderstand it to be a cheap alternative to diets and exercises, however the fact is far from it. The amount of fat removed through liposuction varies from one person to another.

4. Laser liposuction is a brand name for Smart Lipo. Smartlipo is a modern technique that is commonly employed to remove excess fat. Smart Lipo involves a small amount of risk. Laser liposuction can be carried out in different regions of the body like the arms, neck, face, knees, breasts, flabby skin and so on. Smart Lipo has been recognized as a releatively safe cosmetic procedure. The benefits associated with laser liposuction are also huge. In addition to losing extra fat, your looks will improve, and your skin will start to tighten. However, lipo procedures need to be strictly carried out by a reliable surgeon only.

5. Lipodissolve is yet another non surgical procedure done on patients to remove fat cells. According to many, Lipo dissolve is a non-surgical alternative method to liposuction. It is one of the most commonly employed cosmetic procedures in the United States. Lipo dissolve involves injecting medicines that will help in melting away unwanted fats. Lipodissolve do not require a surgeon but should be performed by specialists trained in this procedure.

6. Most of the procedures associated with surgical and non surgical fat removal require precise training. Always seek the advice of a qualified cosmetic surgeon or specialist.

According to a telephone survey compiled by The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), of 756 women between the ages of 18 and 64, many reveal cosmetic plastic surgery procedures now appear to be an important rung on the success ladder.

13 percent (more than 1 out of 10 of the 115-million working-age women) say they would consider having a cosmetic medical procedure specifically to make them more confident and more competitive in the job market.

3 percent (nearly 3.5-million working women) say they’ve already had a cosmetic procedure to increase their perceived value in the workplace.

73 percent (almost three out of four or, 84-million working women) believe, particularly in these challenging economic times, appearance and youthful looks play a part in getting hired, getting a promotion, or getting new clients.

80 percent (four out of five or 92-million working women) think having cosmetic medical procedures can boost a person’s confidence.

John Canady, MD, president of ASPS, says, “Consumers need to remember that while cosmetic procedures might help them in the job market, they’re still medical procedures.” Canady says women still need to proceed with caution. “Patient safety is ASPS’ number one concern. Women need to do their homework.

LipoBodySculpture of Houston – experts in Smartlipo, VASER lipo, and mesotherapy - have announced the opening of a new location, providing the perfect locale for both men and women in the Houston area looking to dramatically sculpt their bodies – without dramatic surgery.

Dr. Raul Rodriguez of LipBodySculpture of Houston and his expert staff who specialize in Smart Lipo, VASER Lipo, and mesotherapy are pleased to announce the opening of their doors at a new location – 546 Waugh Drive, Houston, Texas. Houston residents as well as out of town patients now have equal access to some of the country’s most advanced body fat sculpting services in a quaint and tranquil setting that will literally make one stop and take a deep, relaxing breath.

The expertise of Dr. Rodriguez and his staff combines over 20 years of surgical experience and the advanced laser lipolysis technologies of Smartlipo as well as VASER Lipo. While most people are familiar with traditional liposuction and tummy tucks, increasingly women and men are seeking less invasive alternatives to conventional body shaping techniques. Reasons most cited by patients selecting less invasive procedures include reduced downtime and less risk than conventional invasive procedures.

For example, traditional liposuction requires bulky tubes to suction away fat. The result is more pain, bruising, larger scars from incisions and a lengthy recovery period.

Smartlipo, known as laser lipolysis, laser liposuction and VASER Lipo, an innovative ultrasound technology, are two exceptional and popular alternatives to conventional liposuction – especially for those seeking a solution for troublesome fatty areas without a drastic interruption in their lifestyle.

VASER Lipo is more suitable for larger fatty areas. Ultrasonic energy targets fat tissue, emulsifies it, and through gentle suction and massage, the fat is removed from the body. Because the ultrasound is tissue selective, other tissue such as connective tissue, nerves, and veins are left intact.

Both Smartlipo and VASER Lipo are performed at Dr. Rodriguez’s new Houston clinic and do not require a general anesthetic such as used in conventional liposuction. This means a more rapid recovery without painful or potentially dangerous side effects associated with more invasive procedures.
Dr. Rodriguez is a member of The French Society of Mesotherapy and has over seven years of experience implementing the Mesotherapy procedure. He helped introduce the technique to the United State and was featured by Barbara Walters on ABC News 20/20 in 2003.

Smart Lipo (Smartlipo) is gentler than traditional liposuction. Most doctors state patients have less blood loss, down time and only need a local anesthetic. The biggest bonus appears to be that Smartlipo promotes skin tightening. Within the next 6-8 weeks, the skin and surrounding areas will remodel and adjust to the body contour. This is a gradual process and the best results are seen after 2 months. The downtime is minimal and the patient can usually return to work within 24 hours.

Smart Lipo Costs

The SmartLipo (Smart Lipo) cost will depend on the size of the area being treated and the number of areas treated in one session. Price is something that you will need to work out with your physician at the time of your consultation. Costs can range from $3000-$4000 for an area.
