Has Jessica Simpson Had Plastic Surgery?
Los Angeles (eCanadaNow) - Jessica Simpson has had a nose job, chin job, lip job, cheek job and an eye job, according to Us Weekly. "The upper lids look elevated, giving her a more youthful appearance," New York City surgeon Geoffrey W. Tobias, was quoted as saying. He speculates that Simpson opted for Botox injections or fat injections to lift her lids. An insider told Life&Style last week that Jess and sister Ashlee Simpson recently made a lip plumping appointment with Dr. Raj Kanodia. "They went there together to get their lips injected again with Restylane," says the insider. Pointing to some uneveness, NYC plastic surgeon Zachary Gerut said, "Her chin has some ripples, which can be caused by inappropriate Botox or an implant that didn't heal well — not necessarily the doctor's fault." The ‘Dukes Of Hazard' star is photographed almost daily which would make the stories seem unlikely.

Pittsfield
PITTSFIELD The parents of an eight-year-old boy are suing a Pittsfield couple whose 3-year-old Jack Russell terrier bit their son on the right side of his face last February, reportedly causing a permanent scar that they claim requires extensive plastic surgery. Boston attorney William J. Doyle Jr. filed the civil suit in Berkshire Superior Court Tuesday against the dog's owners, Robert and Kathleen Horne. Doyle requested a jury trial for the case and is seeking approximately $8,000 in medical expenses and corrective plastic surgery for the boy. A photograph of the boy attached to the case file depicted the scar on the boy's right facial cheek, just above his lips. Doyle declined to comment on the case, but argued in the suit that the dog had been running loose and the Hornes "negligently failed to keep, maintain, provide, secure and license the dog at all applicable times." The case was also investigated by the city's animal control officer, Joseph Chague.
