Most dudes who elect to have cosmetic procedures try to keep them a little bit on the DL -- because it's not exactly macho to talk about getting a tummy-tuck. Corey Feldman, on the other hand, totally doesn't mind revealing that he had a couple of rough spots ironed out in preparation for his new show The Two Coreys.

In fact, it seems that Feldman decided to get the surgery based on the peer pressure from his wife's new hot body. According to an insider:

"Corey flipped when he saw the results of Susie's boob job. She's always been beautiful, but her new, more voluptuous appearance both pleased and intimidated him."

Wait, it gets better. Next, Corey's spokesperson decides to set the record straight, confirming what the insider had to say:

"Corey had a couple little trouble spots that he needed taking care of - so he did. And he feels a lot better now because of it."

Weird. So Corey's comfortable with admitting the fact that he got a tummy-tuck or breast reduction or whatever -- he's just not comfortable with wearing a couple extra pounds. Hmm. Does that seem messed-up to anyone else?

This week, a study was released that says 17% of Americans will get some kind of cosmetic surgery in 2015. That means almost 1 out of every 5 people in the nation will go under the knife that year in order to "fix" some kind of perceived flaw -- and that number includes children. Of course, a vast majority of these people will be adults, and some will have a lot of work done. Still, that's a lot of people putting their health at risk to do an elective surgery.

Part of the reason that people are flocking to surgery is that it's perceived as totally safe. Plus, the number and types of procedures are always growing. Right now, one of the hottest procedures is breast reduction surgery for men. Sure, everybody has times that they wish they could make a change in their appearance, but there are definitely risks involved with all surgeries.

Do you think it's worth it? Have any of you guys ever had a plastic surgery mishap or close call?

Over the years, there's no doubt that Oprah Winfrey's look has changed dramatically -- you can check her out right now at StyleList's Look of the Day. Her hair, her weight, her wardrobe -- they've all been switched up on a yearly basis. But, has she gone under the knife to make more drastic changes?

Many experts say no -- as a matter of fact, although the look of her face has changed somewhat throughout the years (most notably, her schnoz), it's more a matter of makeup and lighting than surgical intervention. Because, let's be real, folks -- how many of our faces don't look considerably different now than they did in the '80s?

Back in December, we noticed that the photo editor for Complete Woman was smoking crack when he Photoshopped Ashlee Simpson beyond all recognition. At the time, it seemed like a inconsequential flap. Now, it seems that maybe Ashlee fell in love with her digitally remastered image and decide to see if her doctor could maybe photoshop her real body a little.

In latest issue of Us magazine, Simpson explains why she decided to go ahead with a major "makeover" -- read reconstructive surgery. Apparently, she was never unhappy with her body -- she just kinda wanted a new one. "I used to look at a beautiful girl on the cover of a magazine and think I could never be that," she claims.

Hold up, hasn't she been on a ton of covers already, like the Photoshopped one? I don't think the Complete Woman ordeal put the idea in her head or anything, but I think it pushed her over the edge. From the article:

"[Plastic surgery] is something that everybody should think about for a really long time. Once you know it's something you really feel comfortable with, then to each their own."

It's good to know that she takes her plastic surgery seriously. Doc, while you're in there, could you maybe give her some vocal talent?

Whoever designed Ashley Tisdale's latest doll isn't very detail oriented.

As you're probably aware, the High School Musical star recently opted to exchange her old nose for a newer, sleeker model because she was "having trouble breathing." The actress was very open about having work done, and the procedure was subsequently reported in seemingly every gossip mag on the face of the planet.

In fact, only if you spent the month of December holed-up in an anti-media cave, covering your ears and singing "I can't hear you!" could you have possibly missed this scintillating piece of celebrity gossip.

Yet somehow it made it past toy makers, who recently revealed a Tisdale doll with pre-surgery nostrils. Oops!

Don't you just hate it when you go through all the trouble of scoring a shiny new schnoz, and the world can't forget the old one? Maybe Disney can market this doll as the "nostalgia" model.

Norwood Young is an R&B singer that hosts an annual winter holiday party -- Oh, sweet Christ, what in the HELL is that?! Goodness. Excuse me. I -- I -- was just startled by the picture next to me.

That's right, folks. It's time for us to remember that Michael Jackson isn't the only man to have a little too much fun under the knife. Ladies get too much crap for trying to re-shape their bodies. What about this Young fellow here? His nose looks... sad. He must be a mouth-breather. Check out all these photos of him with Vivica A. Fox at his party. Fox hasn't shied from cosmetic reconstruction, but she actually looks decent by comparison.

You know it's time to cut back (haha... "cut") on the plastic surgery when the nose is just for show.

There's a great line in the play Cyrano de Bergerac where our big-nosed hero, Cyrano, tells his friends that despite what others might say, he believes his famously large honker is actually the source of his strength and virility.

Apparently, the British model Sophie Dahl, granddaughter of writer Roald Dahl, needs to bone up on her 19th-century dramas because girlfriend has serious desecrated the nose her parents gave her (right photo from 2001). As you can see from the recent photo on the left, Sophie's nose is teetering perilously close to Michael Jackson status, which is really a shame because she has a truly interesting, beautiful face.

But you know what they say, "Once you go Jacko, you never go backo."

Of course, Sophie Dahl isn't the first woman out there to go overboard with rhinoplasty. I've collected some of my "favorite" celebrity nose jobs in a gallery for you to check out. If I left one out, leave a comment, and I'll add it to the collection.

Courtney Love, the celebrity who somehow remains in the public eye even though she hasn't done anything cool since the 90s, most-recently grabbed attention by losing about 8,000 pounds. However, rumor has it that she'll be modifying her appearance yet again -- this time with more plastic surgery.

Apparently the last time Love underwent surgery on her face (which, rumor has it, was earlier this month), it didn't go according to plan. The ex-rocker thinks her mouth looks "wonky," so she'll soon be jaunting off to Paris to see a doctor that "fixes bad surgery."

The trainwreck reportedly wants to get back to her original appearance, which may be difficult, seeing as no one has any idea what she actually looks like.

A celebrity getting plastic surgery isn't exactly news -- but while nearly all of them seem to work done, most of them pretend as if they hadn't.

Not Liv Tyler. The actress recently told Allure magazine, "I'm definitely going to have some, I'm sure."

For Liv, it's all about getting her body back to where it was before the birth of her son, Milo -- because, as she puts it, "I have to make a living." In addition to her work as an actress (which, let's face it, requires having a freakishly well-kept figure), Tyler also models for Givenchy.

According to Tyler, if she didn't get plastic surgery, she'd be forced to "sell my house and go live a really simple life in a trailer somewhere." Given that Liv is not only famous in her own right, but is also the child of Steven Tyler (lead singer of Aerosmith) and Bebe Buell (supermodel), somehow, I don't think that's in the cards.

But I love that Liv is so upfront about how necessary (and difficult) it is for models and actresses to look how they're "supposed" to. Agree with it or not, when celebrities pretend these ridiculously high standards of beauty are easy to achieve, they're only making it worse on everyone who looks up to them, or wants to look like them. It's tough to get a body like that -- so why lie about it?

At first you might think -- what's the big deal with celebrities and plastic surgery? It's fairly common, so why do we care so much when they do it?

But these stars are routinely labeled the most beautiful people on the planet, and we're told over and over that we're supposed to look like them if we want to be considered attractive. Sometimes, it's nice to have a little reminder that looking like these people is -- more often than not -- biologically impossible.

Some of the before-and-after photos in the video look more or less the same, but others -- like Angelina Jolie, for instance -- are almost shockingly different. It's amazing what a good plastic surgeon can do.

Not that I feel any woman should feel compelled to artificially enhance her breasts -- you're perfect just the way you are, etc. But if you really want to, and you're looking for a method that doesn't involve surgery, head to Europe -- there, they do it with beer.

It's called Boza, and -- up until recently -- it was only available in Bulgaria (unless you were willing to pay a hefty tax). However, thanks to a recent change in customs law, men from surrounding countries are now able to purchase the beer at normal prices. Subsequently, European men have been flocking to Bulgaria, buying Boza, and taking it home to their wives and girlfriends for a little experiment in alcoholic augmentation.

So put your plastic surgeon on hold, throw those "herbal enhancers" in the garbage, and head to Europe!

If ever there were a time for Britney Spears to get a new lease on life, it would be now. Unfortunately, instead of doing the real work of getting her life back in order, old Brit seems much more concerned with tackling superficial stuff -- like losing weight, buying new clothes and getting a nose job.

Over the past month, Britney has been busy dashing off to Las Vegas for bi-weekly soybean anti-fat injections. (Huh?) Following the six-week tofu procedure, Brit plans to get a new schnoz from the plastic surgeons who revamped Ashlee Simpson and Jennifer Aniston's profile.

And as if that weren't enough to prove her "new attitude," rumor has it that she's also about to have some serious liposuction to take her size six bod down to a size two.

No doubt she's pumped to get her figure back, but it seems to me that Britney would be much better served by sinking some of that cash into counseling and some of her free time into being a mother.

Second wave feminists, brace yourselves. In case you were looking for a sign of whether or not the battle for gender equality has been won or lost, look no further than Sarah Burge.

Sarah Burge is a 46-year old British mother of three whose claim to fame is that she is the "Real Life Barbie." (I'm not kidding -- check out her website: www.reallifebarbie.com).

The secret to her success as a life-sized plastic doll? £180,000 worth of cosmetic surgery over the past 40 years. Sarah's first procedure took place at the tender age of 7 when her mother decided to have her ears pinned back so that she could avoid excessive teasing in school. Since that time, Burge has endured 27 procedures including several face-lifts, a handful of lipo treatments, a nose job, breast reduction surgery and silicone face implants.

And what does she think? "I have invested a lot of time and put a lot of energy into my appearance so I'm excited about the new opportunities on the horizon; especially if it means revealing my surgery secrets to an even-wider audience. If I can look the way I do at my age – then anyone can. It just takes discipline and the correct medical advice. I'm as plastic as Barbie – and I love it!"

So what do you think? Was it worth it?

I'll admit, I'm not easily shocked when it comes to what people are willing to endure to change their look. However, when I read the headline that plastic surgery could now be financed interest-free on the Daily Mail website, my jaw dropped ever-so-slightly.

It seems that Transform, a plastic surgery group in Britain, is now offering patients the option of buying their new bodies now, and paying for them later. That's right, patients can enjoy expensive procedures like breast augmentation and face-lifts interest-free for 12 months. Transform claims the deal makes plastic surgery affordable to more people, regardless of their income. Critics and public health advocates, however, suggest that patients should be encouraged to find the best surgeon, not the cheapest deal going.

I'm afraid I have to side with the critics on this one. In an increasingly debt-filled era when practically everything can be financed, it strikes me that extending this payment option to elective surgery is a recipe for disaster. I mean, seriously -- if you can't afford new boobs, do you really need them? If you think you do, are they really worth the incredibly steep interest rates you will face after the 12-month grace period ends?

Actresses Jane Fonda and Sally Field have entered into a rather unusual pact. Both women have agreed that they will not have any more cosmetic surgery. At 69, Fonda has spent the better part of the last 30 years fighting for a youthful face and body. But she says that things have changed, and now she wants to age gracefully. In an interview with contactmusic.com, Fonda said: "I realized that I'm going to be 70 in a year, and I have chosen not to have any more plastic surgery. Sally Field and I have kind of made a pact about that. We need women friends, women who challenge us."

Wonder if they could convince Janice Dickinson to get in on that pact...
