Plastic Surgery Obsession on VH1

Be sure and watch VH1's new special, Plastic Surgery Obsession, which will begin airing tonight at 10pm EST!  This was a fun special to participate in... I enjoyed working with theVH1 team as they raised some insightful and timely questions on Hollywood's incessant quest for beauty.  Click here to get airtimes and read the following episode summary on the VH1 website:

Plastic surgery. Everyone's doing it-and talking openly about it, too.

Gone are the days when face lifts and boob jobs were procedures available only to the rich and famous. Now, getting a little "nip and tuck" is increasingly becoming the norm, and today's stars have gone front and center with their remade bodies.

VH1 NEWS investigates how Hollywood's plastic surgery infatuation has transformed careers and fueled new cutting-edge surgical procedures.

But it's not just relegated to Tinsel-town; in today's Plastic Surgery Nation there are Botox parties, plastic surgeons offering "pick your famous face" menus, and children's books explaining to kids why "mommy looks different". Just ask the soccer mom who's showing off her body to anyone who cares to see.

VH1 NEWS provides an in-depth look at the new "face" of plastic surgery - featuring fresh interviews with doctors, celebs and pop culture experts.

Some more highlights:

Plastic Bunny

Traci Bingham is a former playboy bunny and Baywatch ‘actress’, who has also become a staple on the reality tv circuit. Baywatch, if you didn't already know, was that great show that consisted of beautiful women running around the sunny beaches of California saving people in skimpy red bathing suits. famousplastic.com states, "It’s easy to see why Traci has been unable to find steady acting work once Baywatch ended. After all of the plastic surgery she has had done, she looks like every other wannabe model in Los Angeles. Girls that look like that are a dime a dozen in Hollywood." (ouch!)

Although they didn't have the nicest things to say about this former playboy bunny, who are we to judge? Perhaps she has had a little too much filler injected into her lips, causing a swollen and unnatural look, as well as opting for implants too large for her body frame.. To each their own I suppose. That California look isn't for everyone, I guess.

At least her nose job looks modest and nicely done!! Have a good weekend everyone!

Brooke Hogan's latest addition

Looks as though Brooke Hogan, reality star and daughter of famous wrestling champion Hulk Hogan is enjoying her new assets as she has been seen prancing around her home town of Miami, Florida in tiny bikinis and practically busting out of barely-there outfits.
From pictures seen on makemeheal.com it seems as this budding beauty has added on. "Perhaps her “girls” were feeling neglectful, singing along with her chart topping single, “What about us?” Brooke looks like she went up to either a full C or D cup with these implants, a little big but I guess it offsets her 6 foot tall stature

According to some sources like makemeheal.com, recent photos of Brooke have shown a scar in her armpit, suggesting that she had her implants inserted through the armpit. With this technique, a small one-inch incision is made in a discrete fold inside the armpit. Typically, the implant is placed partially under the pectoralis major muscle of the chest, which helps the implant look and feel more natural. The only question that remains is whether Brooke has gone for the now approved silicone implants or for saline implants. It's hard to tell from the photos whether she has saline or silicone implants, but since their FDA approval we have seen a spike in women wanting silicones because they look and feel more natural.

I’m happy for her, she seems to have gone to a surgeon who knew what he/she was doing, rather then hearing another sob story of a celebrity plastic surgery case gone wrong. Way to go Brooke!
