Restalyne: Everything you need to know

Posted on 15. Jul, 2009.

There are things which can’t be covered by any amount of makeup, particularly ageing lines and dull skin. You might think of anti ageing creams but these creams can only provide you a better outside surface without even touching the facial lines which are rooted much deeper in the skin. The best option to remove these lines and to rejuvenate your looks is restylane. Restylane gives a beauty lift naturally as it restores the skin’s volume, softens it and revitalizes the appearance. Restylane is an FDA approved cosmetic product. It composes of hyaluronic acid, which is found in the youthful skin and begins to fade with the increasing age. The main constituent of restylane is Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid or more commonly known as NASHA.

Jenny Lee – The Plastic Surgery Addict

Posted on 13. Jul, 2009.

Jenny Lee Burton is the 21^st century’s answer to Barbie. She is beautiful, blonde and is slowly becoming 100% plastic.

However, Jenny was not always non-biodegradable. In fact, once upon a time, she was the all American girl next door. She was even voted Most Beautiful Girl by her classmates at one point. But like all teenage girls before her, Jenny Lee had a dream. Her dream was to be the most beautiful girl in the world! (Read more about her here)

But, unlike most girls with the same dream, who merely work out, learn how to expertly apply their make-up or dream of being Miss America, Jenny decided to cut to the chase and have her plastic surgeon moonlight as her fairy godmother and give her all her hearts desires, which included a nose that resembled Michael Jackson, lips that had the same pucker as Angelina Jolie’s, Jennifer Aniston’s’ jaw line, Jennifer Lopez’ profile and of course a Double D sized bust line.

Jenny’s plastic surgery romance began at around the age of 20, when her husband at the time would mock her, saying that her breasts were too small and her nose was not shaped right. The constant barrage of insults made Jenny want to change those parts of her body that her husband disliked so much. She had breast implants put in to please her husband, except, the implants got Jenny a lot more attention around town. Her husband soon became jealous of the extra attention Jenny was getting and started insulting her because she had put in implants.

Within a year and a half of her surgery, Jenny’s left implant slipped out and she had to revisit her plastic surgeon to have both implants taken out and replaced. This visit, for all intents and purposes, marks the beginning of Jenny’s modifications to her body. While there to get new implants, Jenny also had a full body liposuction and rhinoplasty done. All of her procedures at the time were still a result of being told by her husband that she was overweight and that her nose was too big.

This set a seed in Jenny’s mind, which grew into a need to constantly improve on her body. No procedure was ever good enough to be the last and no body part was good enough to be left alone.

In her early thirties today, a mother of two and married for the second time, Jenny has undergone 44 plastic surgery related procedures so far, including four rhinoplasty related surgeries, three breast enlargement procedures, liposuction on her hips, arms, stomach, thighs, knees and various other parts of her body, a complete body lift and, of course, botox. On an average, Jenny has spent around $100,000 on her obsession with plastic surgery. (Read more here)

Sadly, not all of her plastic surgery procedures work like a charm, all the time. One of her rhinoplasties resulted in one of her nostrils collapsing, and to this day, Jenny claims she cannot breathe through her nose like most people. There are days, she says, when she has to use cotton swabs to clear her nasal passage, to breathe better. Not doing this can cause nosebleeds and other adverse reactions. Jenny also had complications from a lip implant when the implant in her left lip ripped open, leaving her lower lip crooked.

Jenny is constantly quizzed on her need to modify and tweak her body in keeping with those of celebrities and why she cannot see that she is a beautiful woman in her own right and doesn’t need to go under the knife. In fact, it was these questions and these issues that saw Jenny appear twice on the Oprah Winfrey show (see video) and once on Larry King Live (read transcript).

The first Oprah show, which Jenny was a part of, was centred on a disorder called Body Dismorphic Disorder (BDD) that has been affecting people all across the world for some time now. Studies into the disorder indicate that BDD surfaces in the teenage years of most of the people affected by it, and gradually goes from being a general dislike of a certain aspect of their body to an obsession with the way they look and believing that they do not look like other people.

Jenny is a textbook case of someone who sees themselves as being flawed and sometimes, downright ugly. How people with BDD deal with their condition varies from individual to individual. Some hide away within the walls of their home and leave home only under the most extreme circumstances. Some pick elements of their body that they feel are flawed and decide to change them with plastic surgery to be in line with the looks of someone who the world thinks is beautiful. This is clearly the side of the coin that Jenny Lee has chosen, with her modifying different parts of her body to look like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez.

When asked by Larry King if she ever planned on stopping modifying the way she looked, Jenny replied that she didn’t believe she would ever stop going under the knife, because she liked the way it made her feel.

Her plastic surgeon, who has been responsible for all her procedures to date and who has not been named, has received a lot of flak from fellow plastic surgeons and the public for encouraging Jenny’s Body Dismorphic Disorder and continuing to nip and tuck as and when Jenny requests it.

When asked what her family and friends think of her plastic surgery addiction and what she is doing to her body, Jenny states that she is not the type of person to ask anyone’s opinion when it comes to what she does with her life and that her family know that, ultimately, it is her life to do with as she pleases.

Jenny aspires to be an actress, and thanks to her plastic surgery obsession, has received a lot of free publicity via talk shows like Oprah and Larry King Live. She has done a bit of modelling and acting over the years as well. See a slideshow of her pictures here.

Cosmetic Surgery For Dogs

Posted on 25. Jun, 2009.

Cosmetic surgery for dogs – the new craze amongst wives of Russian Oligarchs

10 Types of popular unnecessary plastic surgery include:

1. Feline De-Clawing

What happens if Kitty starts scratching at your $45,000 hand bag?

Forget the time and effort required to train kitty, just take your feline friend down to your friendly cosmetic surgeon.

Feline de-clawing has sometimes been aptly named a “series of amputations.” Every  last bone on your feline friends claw toes are removed (including the nerves, muscles and tendons.)

It might hurt but now your furry friend can cause no more damage to your designer hand bags.

2. Testicular Implants

Now an oligarchs guard dog can be neutered without the inevitable drop in macho image due to his lack of cojones.

Neuticles are implanted during the neutering operation and look exactly like the real thing.

“He licks them like they’re real, and I can tell he would rather have them than nothing,” says Ryan.

At $400 a pair these plastic testicles don’t come cheap.

3. Canine Tail Docking

In order to improve the beauty of some dogs, the end of their tail is chopped off. Most countries have now decided to ban tail docking but it is still legal in the oligarch homeland of Russia.

4. Canine Nose Job:

Surgery is at hand if your Bulldog is getting bullied about his big nose or more importantly is having congenital breathing problems. Nose jobs help can help your bulldog breath more clearly and it may even help their self esteem.

5. Doggy Breast Reduction.

Some Bitches can have such floppy bosom following pregnancy that reduction via surgery is the only option. I am still wondering if doggy breast enlargement exists but I don’t fancy entering the dark world of bestiality.

6. Ear Straightening

Whilst not a particularly common problem in humans, the problem of ear dropping affects dogs worldwide. Dr Edgard Brito was the first plastic surgeon to successfully complete this treatment.

His patient Bruto (see picture) had one ear that drooped which meant the end of his show dog career. By injecting Bruto’s ear with Restylane (used in humans for wrinkle removal), Dr Brito was able to restore Bruto’s ear to its non-droopy state.

7. Dog Face Lift

There are some cases of cosmetic surgery for dogs that are not just to improve appearance. Due to intense breeding, some breeds such as bulldogs have so many skin folds that it can lead to infection and discomfort.

Most cosmetic skin fold surgery is around the eyes, tails, lips and vaginal area.

8. Eye Replacement

If Bruno loses his eye don’t settle for a doggy eye patch. For $2000 you could get your pooch a Terminator eye that would send shiver down the spine of would be intruders

9.Removing Red Panties

Did Bruno just eat a pair of red panties? Don’t despair help is at hand.

Dr Michael Pavletic of Boston Angell Animal Medical Shelter told reporters that he recently extracted the pair of red knickers from the a dogs abdomen (the panties did not belong to the owner.)

10. Doggy Braces

Normally if your dog cracks his teeth, you just get them removed. With money no object, the option of dog braces is no longer ludicrous.

I wonder if a savage Rottweiler with lime green braces would still strike fear into would-be intruders?
