Chuck Norris - Facelift and Blepharoplasty?

Chuck Norris appears to have had an upper and lower blepharoplasty and a possible facelift. His face looks much smoother and his eyes more open and alert.
Plastic surgeons always need to be careful to retain the masculine characteristics of their male patients' faces. Most plastic surgery procedures have been designed around women's faces, since 87% of our patients are women. I believe that upper eyelid surgery in men can be the most risky regarding this.
Chuck looks like such a nice guy now that I bet most ninjas are no longer afraid of him...

Jenna Jameson Needs to Eat

Adult film star Jenna Jameson was recently photographed on the beach looking sickeningly skinny. The only things plump on her are her lips and breasts. She looked so much better without the puffy lips and with a few more pounds on her. Hopefully someone will get her to eat more.

Duct Tape Bandit ... Unsuccessful

Some idiot in Ashland, KY wrapped his face in duct tape to conceal his identity and then tried to rob a liquor store. Too bad the duct tape provided no protection from the store manager's wooden club! The doofus fled to the parking lot where he was tackled and held in a choke hold until police came and arrested him.

This reminds me of a patient whom I treated while I was working in the surgical ICU as a general surgery resident. We had one guy come in with a major closed head injury. Apparently, this guy was breaking into a local family's house one night and was met with the father's baseball bat...to his head. Yes, there is some justice in this world!

Drug Lord Uses Plastic Surgery to Go Undetected

This is an interesting story I got from Dr. Rob Oliver's blog. Columbian drug lord Robert Abadia used plastic surgery as a way to escape detection by the authorities. He was ultimately caught by advanced voice-recognition technology since he looked so different after numerous plastic surgeries. Dr. Oliver believed he had the following surgeries: rhinoplasty, facelift, blepharoplasty, and facial implants. I would agree with this, but also add browlift, chemical peel or skin bleaching cream and dumb green hat to the mix. He looks like a wax statue.

Anna Nicole Smith Breast Augmentation Tape

Various news agencies are reporting that the cosmetic surgeon who taped the late Anna Nicole Smith's breast augmentation surgery is attempting to sell the tape to a memorabilia dealer. A judge issued a temporary restraining order against the release of the 1994 tape at the request of Howard K. Stern. The surgeon stated that he routinely records surgeries with the patient's permission and promised to keep the video confidential "during the patient's lifetime."

I routinely take before and after photos of surgery patients, and only use the photos with their consent. I can't fathom a physician trying to use this tragedy to make money. It's a shame.

Kellie Pickler-You be The Judge Video

Here is a video that was played in a Kellie Pickler/Brad Paisley concert poking fun at Kellie Pickler's recent breast augmentation. Apparently the two of them play quite a few pranks on each other. I guess Kellie was a good sport about it. And yes, the photos are doctored.

Madonna - Breast Implants?
