Why Do Teens Get Plastic Surgery?
Most teens don't, of course. But some do. Interestingly, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reports a difference in the reasons teens give for having plastic surgery and the reasons adults do: Teens view plastic surgery as a way to fit in and look acceptable to friends and peers. Adults, on the other hand, frequently see plastic surgery as a way to stand out from the crowd. The number of teens who choose to get plastic surgery is on the rise. According to the ASPS, over 333,00...

The shape of the nose
The Asian nose is often saddle-shaped: the bony structure is disproportionately small with a wide tip. If the patient wants a Caucasian nose, then the surgeon must build the upper and middle portion of the nose and reduce the lower part of the nose (the tips and alae). The latter technique sometimes requires making an incision in the skin, and this can be challenging, warned Dr. Haddad, who is also a clinical associate professor of facial plastic surgery at the University of California, Irvine. ...

Plastic Surgery Makes the Man? Maybe Not
With cosmetic procedures as popular as ever among women, some experts are wondering whether the seemingly endless push toward aesthetic perfection has a downside. At least one even suggests that a "new anorexia" may be emerging among some women in their quest for everlasting youth.

Options abound for boosting spa business ? even during an economic downturn
With the economy teetering towards recession, medspas find themselves in an odd position. On one hand, they may see a dwindling of customers who were already pushing the limits of their budgets for treatments, yet they may see an increase in the form of new customers who, because of the economy, may have decided to put off that $10,000 face lift for a few years and take care of things with a few Botox or laser treatments instead.ng to Isaac Starker, M.D., a plastic surgeon, Florham Park, NJ.

Meg Ryan - Plastic Surgery and Lip Implants?
I like Meg Ryan. Her roles in When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in
Seattle are classics. But what the heck has happened to her lips???

lips do appear to have undergone quite a few changes over the years.

her mouth widen (2nd photo), and fairly recently (3rd and 4th photos)
it appears that things are going back towards normal (or nearly that).
Here is my take (totally unsubstantiated opinion here):
