Doctors Made Mommy Pretty
If you're in the market for a good story-time read, I recommend My Beautiful Mommy, a heartwarming tale of personal growth and breast augmentation by plastic surgeon Michael Salzhauer. The book is aimed at helping kids understand that even mommies can be insecure. See, even adults love instant gratification; but for them, face lifts work better than candy. More »

Scary Surgery Sells Service
"If it's not fixed by the one who made it, it probably won't work," says this ad touting Chevy and its service centers [via AdPulp]. I get it! But wait, I hope they paid some royalties to plastic surgery victim Jocelyn Wildenstein, cause they are totally ripping off her look. Compare and contrast: More »

Ideal Celebrity Faces Horrifying As Usual
Like a James Ellroy novel, two Beverly Hills plastic surgeons recently did a survey to find out which celebrity features people would pay and bleed and disfigure to have. It's a typical smattering of famous folks of the day, and of course Star magazine was there to report the results and put together a picture mash-up of the perfect celebrity lookalike plastic surgery make-over. [Star] After the jump, a handy list of which features are in demand, as well as a larger version of the creepy computer models. More »
nobody's perfect
Last night on Conan O'Brien, beloved silver-haired hurricane foe Anderson Cooper told a charming story about a defining moment in every young boy's life: Getting cosmetic surgery with your legendary socialite mom. Don't worry, Anderson's still real. He kept the "fatty deposit" under his eye (it adds character!). The whole thing is alarming, though. Does America really want to see Anderson's every flaw? Will HD ruin the magic? Can't they smear a little Vaseline on the lens and film him like a 30s movie starlet until we're all ready to deal with his imperfections?

Maybe Alex Kuczynski Is The Smart One In Her Family
Today's Page Six notes that Times gal and plastic surgery Kool-Aid-drinker Alex Kuczynski is the stupid one in the family, as her brother John-Michael Kuczynski (as Alex has noted) is a professor of philosophy and the author of the hot new beach-read "Conceptual Atomism and the Computational Theory of Mind: A Defense of Content-Internalism and Semantic Externalism." (Ooh, paging Jerry Fodor!) So if you enjoyed Mr. K's "A non-Russellian treatment of the referential-attributive distinction," you'll love this new one! But Page Six isn't being fair: Anyone who's played backgammon with Alex K. will tell you that she possesses a vicious cunning—beyond rat-like even! There's smart in there—and after all, she's the one getting chauffeured around and working at the Times just because she feels like it, not because she has to, while he's slaving away with grad students. So who's the stupid sibling now?

Maybe-Rapist Plastic Surgeon Defends Himself Blogstyle
Utter nuttiness in the Voice today concerning Dr. Brad Jacobs, the Upper East Side plastic surgeon who's been accused of everything from purposely giving patients outsize boob jobs to smoking crystal meth with a patient, having sex with her while she was recovering from a nosejob and "deforming her face." Gross. So what's Dr. Brad got to say in his own defense? Well, it's 2007, so he's got an open letter up on a website. It's kind of a Crap Email From A Dude! More »

Ten Years Of Peggy Siegal's Face
Says Rush & Molloy: "The PR legend turns an impossible-to-believe big 6-0 herself today. 'This is what 60 looks like,' said Siegal, who added that a list of all her doctors is online at New York Social Diary, including plastic surgeon Dr. Gerald Imber, who 'gave me a new neck a year ago.'" David Patrick Columbia does indeed have the birthday party rundown, of course—including a list of the top 300 medical professionals who keep her ticking. (Her gynecologist is "glamorous, attentive and thorough"!) But let's get a look at that punim over time! More »

It's A Thousand Bucks Minimum A Week For Lady Upkeep
We sort of miss the pre-Kuczynski days of facial work shame. PR exec Amy Krakow admits in the Times today that she spends an "astounding sum" of money on youthiness-maintenance treatments, including sessions in a hyperbaric chamber, plastic surgery on her "face and torso," hair straightening and Botox injections. So she's a Manhattan lady of a certain age, basically. (Yuck.) Gosh, where'd she get all that money, anyway? Anyhoo! It's a thousand bucks a week, says the Times, for a lady to keep herself pretty from the nails to the hairline—regimens that also take ten hours a week. "I can think of a couple of people where $3,500 a month might be low," says one lady. Yeah, but they look really not haggy or stretched at all.

'Lift Me Up Cards' Make Plastic Surgery Fun Again
"Lift Me Up Cards is hoping to lift the spirits of plastic surgery patients. Founded and created by Camie Dunbar and Matthew Santamarina, the greeting card line offers messages for people to send to congratulate friends and family members on their cosmetic procedures," WWD tells us today. It's not April 1st anymore at all, so supposedly this company is an actual part of our modern world. "We have a greeting card for everyone who has gone under the knife," claims the company's website. Well... not quite! Maybe they'll use our contribution! More »

Your New Plastic Surgeon Might've Gone to Interboro
The Times points to a disturbing new trend today: doctors trained as, say, gynecologists who are up and switching over to cosmetic surgery because it's more lucrative. The article highlights a medical "spa" that opened in Brooklyn in January, and whose doctor is very pleased, thank you very much, with her new profession. More »

Alex Kuczynski is Into Body Mods
Noted Amazon sockpuppet Alex K's Critical Shopper column contains a revelation: Alex isn't too classy to shop at H&M! Okay, she is. But she can stomach it for a little while if she wears earplugs. So she pops them in and prepares to brave the commoners and the distasteful smell of souvlaki. After all, she has a very important purchase in her sights:I bought four pairs of the magnetic diamond earrings ($4.90 for two pairs), which I like to put in my nose occasionally so I can tell people that I finally — finally! — had my nose pierced.Huh, well, we can totally understand Alex's refusal to actually get it pierced. After all, she totally hates having needles near her face. More »

One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other
While perusing David Patrick Columbia's Social Diary this afternoon (and don't pretend you don't spend all day refreshing that bitch), we came across the ravishing image you see here. Any guesses? Answer after the jump.

Master of the Zombie Boner
Observe hunky young Dr. Mark Warfel, ambitious Manhattan plastic surgeon with a secret plan: to perform all kinds of disturbing procedures on your penis, and to be paid well for the pleasure. In the name of enlargement, he's prepared to sever its ligaments, yank it further out of your groin, inject it with fat, and wrap it an am empowering sheath of dead flesh. Not girthy enough? Fear not:Right now, there are two methods of adding girth to a penis: injecting fat, or wrapping the penis in layers of cadaver skin.So in a way, your significant other gets to engage in a threesome that's (at least) one-third necrophillic. One could be forgiven for reconsidering that decision to check the "donor" box on the back of one's driver's license. More »
Both have drawbacks, in that the body would like to absorb both fat and skin. Even corpse skin.
