Eye-lifts for men - A booming business


With all of the beauty products and cosmetics being marketed to men, it's really no surprise that more and more men are electing to go under the knife. However, one procedure in particular is catching on with lightening speed -- manbag (or eye-lift) surgery has more than quadrupled over the last two years in one chain of clinics, with similar increases seen across the board.

Man gets dangerous butt implants


Following this week's theme of men getting in touch with their feminine side -- mantyhose, guyliner, etc. -- we found this video today highlighting how more men are going under the knife to enhance their looks. We know Corey Feldman got peer pressured into getting liposuction, but apparently lots of other guys are having body issues as well. And, in true macho fashion, they say they're not worried about the serious risks involved in the procedure.

Heidi Klum would rather be a dinosaur than have plastic surgery


Heidi Klum is aging! Well, at least she says she is, though we're not completely convinced. However, even though she can tell the difference between how she looked several years ago and how she looks now, she doesn't think she'll resort to getting plastic surgery.

Corey Feldman gets peer pressured into liposuction



(Click the image to see our 10 Worst Plastic Surgery Disasters)

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?

Plastic surgery: is it worth the risk?


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?

Oprah gets cast in a flattering light, literally


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?

Celebrity plastic surgery: lip plumpers


These days women will do just about anything in order to get plumper lips. There are new products for those of us who aren't brave enough go under the knife (and according to StyleList, some of the actually work!). But, if you're a celebrity, new lip glosses promising to make your lips look juicy and luscious aren't enough. All kinds of A-listers are hitting up their plastic surgeons for a hit of collagen.

Ashlee Simpson gets photoshopped in real life

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?

Oops! Ashley Tisdale's new doll has pre-surgery nose

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.

British breasts are getting bigger, and it's not plastic surgery

huge breasts
Apparently, there's something special in the water over there that's making British women's breasts bigger.

Okay, so the increase in average size from 34B to 36C has nothing to do with the water, but neither does it have to do with an increase in plastic surgery.

According to experts, British breasts are growing due to a complex combination of factors ranging from diet, hormones and the environment. There has been an increased exposure to estrogen, the compound used in hormone replacement therapy. However, women are also exposed to the false hormone through the environment, and while the resulting larger breasts might be cosmetically desirable, estrogen has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer.

Additional factors that have increased British breast size are the increase in obesity which comes from diet and the increased consumption of alcohol.

It's not just ladies that overdo the plastic surgery

Norwood YoungNorwood 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.

Sophie Dahl, where'd your nose go?

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 to be even more surgically "enhanced"

Is there anything real about this face?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.

Liv Tyler totally wants plastic surgery

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?

Which celebs have had work done?



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.
