Breast reductions are one of the great procedures that have both medical and aesthetic, as well as psychological benefits. The procedure is increasingly popular and relatively low risk. On this show, we discussed how one celebrity had 9 reconstructive procedures after her botched breast reduction. Why would that be? We talk about how breast reductions are performed and what the real risks are.
Each year the International Society of Plastic Surgeons finds out which procedures are the most common in the world. This year it was liposuction. And for good reason. Liposuction is an effective and safe procedure that removes unwanted fat deposits. Contrast that with the so called "noninvasive" procedures that freeze, heat, or fry fat. Those procedures also have complications and are less effective and sometimes more costly than liposuction. We'll discuss the 1% paradoxical GROW...
Sounds crazy - but children are having cosmetic surgery. Ear setbacks are done as early as age 6 and 13 year old girls are having their noses reshaped.

There are so many women who have been deformed with filler. Their lips look duck-like. They have overfilled faces and obliterated nasolabial folds. That's because so many unartistic doctors, dentists, nurses, and even aestheticians are injecting filler.
