Most of us will have either considered, or will have undergone, some sort of plastic surgery. We will have had one nagging flaw or an insecurity which we felt needed sorting and we will have taken the necessary surgical steps towards correcting this imperfection. However, for some people, plastic surgery becomes more than a way of just correcting one or two minor faults; it becomes an entire way of life. This is certainly the case for Cindy Jackson, who holds the dubious record of having more cosmetic surgery than anybody else on the planet. But, far from being put off or quietened by her record-breaking number of times under the knife, she is now using her position to become a spokesperson and encourage more people to seek bodily perfection in the plastic surgery arena.

Jackson has offered advice to celebrities in the past, including surgery success stories like Sharon Osbourne and now she is turning her attention to regular citizens like you and me; her message is simple, that everyone and anyone should actively consider some form of surgical enhancement. She told Sky News:

“I’ve never met or been in touch with anyone who is totally happy the way they are”

She went on to tackle a big taboo in society that people, no matter what they say in public, are attracted to, and value highly, the concept of beauty.  She did say it was politically incorrect to make such a statement but her own good looks have given her “better chances” in life and she feels she has also gotten an “easier ride” because of her enhanced looks. Whilst this may be slightly true, it is certainly true that most people still value personality and contribution to society over mere looks. Where plastic surgery comes in is that it can help transform people’s confidence so that their personality shines through; if you feel beautiful, you will appear more beautiful and, for a lot of people, surgery is really the only way to correct not only physical flaws but mental doubts as well.

Jackson is well-known on the surgery circuit and is a veritable regular, having undergone nose-jobs, several facelifts, breast augmentation and liposuction procedures. Much of her body may now be unnatural, but her advice is down-to-earth and 100% real; if you’re unhappy with the way you look surgery offers you the chance to change yourself and change your life.

In the past, many patients have been put off going down the road of Rhinoplasty because they feel they could lose their ethnic identity; they sight precedents such as Janet Jackson as evidence.

But news has reached us that soon patients from all ethnic backgrounds should be able to benefit equally from the surgical procedure. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the ASAPS, has said that concerns over loss of ethnic identity have, in the past, deterred some people from having nose-jobs and other procedures.  However, money which has been invested into specialised training in the field and new technology now means that rhinoplasty needn’t obscure the ethnic heritage of the patient in question!

Dr. Julius Few spoke out at the annual conference on the ASAPS, saying that:” It is vital to preserve the ethnic heritage of the given patient and understand that ethnic rhinoplasty is more about balance of the face and not assuming the look of another racial or ethnic group - a fear that many African American patients still have.” This news will be welcome by the industry as a whole and will be seen as a key way on introducing more and more patients into the growing field of cosmetic surgery.

Rhinoplasty has long been one of the most popular procedures performed in the U.K, helped by the famous celebrity associations which it has, and both men and women have been going under the knife in order to gain the perfect sniffer!  It has long been thought that it was really easy to tell which people have had rhinoplasty performed on them and this became even more the case when the procedure had been performed on those of ethnic heritage.  As the public has become and more aware of rhinoplasty, with more of the population knowing what that word means than know where the stomach is located in the human body, they have become more astute at spotting who has had the procedure done. This new breakthrough should hopefully make nose-jobs more clandestine.

Not that they need to be, much of the stigma which once surrounded plastic surgery has now receded. However, the news that more and more people will be able to benefit equally from cosmetic procedures is great news and one can only hope that more and more breakthrough’s of this magnitude keep on coming!

Patients who request cosmetic surgery to looklike celebrities refused surgery.

“Essentially you are sitting there with them looking at porn magazines, with discomfort usually oozing out of the woman. It can be a very difficult and delicate job to persuade them against surgery, especially because the chances are the partner will encourage them to go somewhere else.”

Plastic surgeon and president of BAAPS Nigel Mercer explained: “People look at Katie Price who has created a business based on the size of her breasts, and they want to copy her in the hope they will attain that celebrity dream. I always tell them giving you a boob job will not make you a celebrity.”

The doctor noted that there have been an increasing number of cases when the prospective patient demands a nose based on an image of a celebrity and the surgeon is forced to explained that such changes are impossible to achieve.

“Women will come in with a picture of the supermodel Cindy Crawford and say I want that nose,” he said. “I have to explain they have a fundamentally different facial structure. I will say to them it can’t be done, and I don’t think there is anyone on earth who can do it; but there are always unscrupulous surgeons who are not so honest.”

BAAPS interviewed 40 plastic surgeons and established that the second top reason when patients are turned down is the operation being unnecessary and doing more harm than benefit.

“I think because there is so much more publicity now about surgery, people think of it as a cosmetic treatment that can be done in a lunchtime, rather than a serious medical procedure with the risk of complications and the need for recovery time,” said the surgeon.

“If you consider something like a facelift, which might benefit those in their late 40s and 50s, we are seeing women in their 30s saying they want ‘just a little tuck’, when really there is no such thing, and it is too early for them to be thinking about facelifts at all,” recommended Mr Mercer.

The third most common reason why surgeons refuse to perform surgery is finding out about certain medical conditions that increase the patient’s risk to develop complications from plastic surgery.
 
The survey revealed that just under 50 per cent of plastic surgeons turned down more than one in ten prospective clients after the initial consultation. Moreover, one in five doctors refused to perform surgery on more than a quarter of individuals they talked to.

Growing number of men considering it as a viable option.

BBC News reports that a growing number of men in the United Kingdom are undergoing cosmetic surgery such as tummy tuck’s and liposuction

The news follows figures released by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) this year. It showed that in 2007, the number men who decided to undergo tummy tucks (also known as abdominoplasty) rose by 61%, with Liposuction rising by 18%. However despite these figures the numbers of men choosing the treatments is still relatively small, with the total number of men having a tummy tuck in 2007 being 90 and 582 having liposuction. Currently, the most popular form of cosmetic surgery for men is rhinoplasty (nose jobs).

The BBC talked to Dr Jag Chana, a consultant plastic surgeon at a Hospital in Hertfordshire. He pointed out that liposuction and tummy tucks are not weight loss options and many of the patients he sees in his clinic are unsuitable for the operations.

The procedures are designed for people who have already lost weight and may have excess skin left behind as a consequence. So those who have approached him with a beer belly have been turned away, told to first try and lose the weight via diet and exercise.
“Tummy tucks and liposuction are invasive procedures. Possible risks are scarring, loss of sensation and infection to the area, but these are rare.
“Patients can normally return to work after two weeks but exercise and lifting must be avoided for at least six weeks as an abdominal corset needs to be worn to support the area.”
As time goes on, experts have said that more men will continue to decide on cosmetic surgery as more men care about their appearance.
At Dr Chana’s clinic in particular has seen a 40% increase in the numbers of men having surgeries there last year. The number has since been rising and Dr Chan himself agrees that this will continue.
Liposuction involves removing fatty deposits that can appear in the chest, chin, sides, stomach, thighs and back. It is difficult to remove fat from these areas via exercise, which is why surgery could be an option. Rhinoplasty (or a nose job), reshapes the nose to give it symmetry by removing cartilage.
