Jennifer Aniston Admits to Nose Job
Actress Jennifer Aniston admitted today to having once had her nose fixed in plastic surgery. "Sure," she said, "I had a nose job. I'm not ashamed to admit it, either!""I was born with a real honker. I mean, it was a Jimmy Durante type Schnozzola. People thought that I had a beak when I was a kid. When I blew my nose, you'd have thought that it was an elephant stampede.""It was also a really, really hairy nose. The other kids in school would grab on to the hairs (like they were ropes) if I was above them on the monkey bars and use them to climb up. One beautician wanted to charge me extra for doing a perm in my nose.""My plastic surgeon and electrolosis have made me what I am today, along with the collagen and botox injections, my boob job, my tummy tuck, getting my ears pulled back, butt inserts, chin implants, having my teeth capped, and fixing my bowlegs." .
How I got rid of my 'moobs'
A record 4,000 blokes in the UK had their man-breasts, or "moobs", removed by cosmetic surgery last year. According to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, that’s almost double the number for 2005, when 2,100 went under the knife for the same reason. I had the operation – known as gynaeplasty, the moob condition itself being more sensibly known as gynaecomas-tia — back in 2003, making me something of a pioneer. Since then gynaeplasty has gone up from eighth to third place in the top ten cosmetic procedures undergone by men. Moobs are certainly the defect du jour. Venerable famous females avoid the worst excesses of the celebrity press – Angelina Jolie’s scrawny hands might make Heat ’s "circle of shame" while Judy Dench’s varicose veins are spared – but any chap is fair game.
Liposuction the Breast Reduction Treatment of Choice of African ...
A new breast reduction technique has brought relief to African American women who need breast reduction surgery but are afraid of the risk of scarring. An article published in the latest issue of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal reports that a new liposuction technique may bring a solution. According to the article, liposuction breast reduction offers darker skinned women who are more prone to scarring a scarless alternative. The article states however, that this procedure is primarily for women who experience pain from too large breasts and not for cosmetic purposes. Liposuction breast reduction is not ideal for restoring firmness to sagging breasts. The procedure, unlike traditional breast reduction surgery cannot reduce breast size by much.
