Breast Implant Sales Sag as Market Takes a Beating - Recession Chic
Filed under: Style in the News, Cosmetics, Skin Care
Is good, old fashioned natural beauty making an unexpected comeback? The popularity of surgically enhanced bodies has been skyrocketing for as long as we can remember, but it's beginning to look like the winds of change are finally blowing in the opposite direction. According to the NY Times, sales of breast implants, botox, and even less expensive facial fillers are all taking it on the chin as Americans can no longer afford to finance their way to a more idealized physique.Continue reading Breast Implant Sales Sag as Market Takes a Beating - Recession Chic

More Men Are Getting 'Moob' Jobs
Filed under: Men
The male obsession with the, ahem, chest area is well documented -- but we always assumed that that obsession was focused on the chest area of the female (at least for straight males) and that they didn't give much thought to their own chests. How wrong we were! Turns out men are looking in the mirror, not liking what they see, and doing something about it, according to data from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.The number of male breast reduction surgeries in 2008 increased by 44 per cent from 2007, and frankly, we don't know what to make of this trend. Is the increase in plastic surgery due to a parallel increase in male vanity? Have the metrosexuals of old given up on expensive creams and decided to go under the knife instead? Or are men indulging in too much food and too little exercise?

Cate Blanchett - No Plastic Surgery for This A-Lister
Filed under: Celebrities with Style
While most Hollywood actresses no doubt feel the pressure to stave off the aging process (can you say Nicole Kidman?), there's at least one red carpet stunner who won't go to extreme measures to halt the aging process. Cate Blanchett has good motivation for avoiding going under the knife -- her husband said he'd divorce her if she did.Continue reading Cate Blanchett - No Plastic Surgery for This A-Lister

Cindy Jackson, the Real World Record Holder for "Most Cosmetic Procedures" Corrects Us
Filed under: Style in the News
Earlier this month we brought you the cockles warming story of Sarah Burge, an English woman who had spent over $1 million on surgical procedures in her quest to become a living Barbie doll. Ms. Burge had also recently wrestled the Guinness World Record for most surgical procedures from American Cindy Jackson. Or so we thought. Lisa Rinna admits "I went too far"

Even though we totally fell in love with Lisa Rinna when she was on Dancing With The Stars, we've always categorized her in the same "Muppet Features School of Plastic Surgery" as Donatella Versace and Jessica Simpson.

Lots of little girls love Barbie, and wish they could grow up to be like her. But hardly any of them take it to the lengths of Englishwoman Sarah Burge. Of course, most little girls don't have £540,000 to spend on plastic surgery, either.

Breast intentions - Canadians want to sue the government for faulty implants
Filed under: Accessories
This is by no means the first time we've discussed the risks of plastic surgery on this site, but this might be the first time we've ever fully appreciated how often these implanted body parts seem to fail once they've been installed. A group of accentuated women in Canada -- 29,500 of them to be exact -- have joined forces in a class action lawsuit against Health Canada (like the FDA) seeking damages for the government's so-called negligence. It's true, these women apparently feel that the Canadian government is at fault for allowing companies like Dow Corning Corp. to sell these implants without properly testing their durability. After a quick glance at the case, an Ontario appeals court threw the case out -- saying that the ladies should seek their damages from the manufacturers of the faulty silicone, not the Canadian health care system. In our opinion, that makes good sense -- unless Canada's universal health care program paid for the 29,500 boob jobs. If that's the case, Canada is way cooler than we previously thought.

Shannen Doherty refuses plastic surgery
Filed under: Celebrities with Style
Shannen Doherty might not be what most of us would consider a role model, but it sounds like her attitude toward self-esteem might be something other actresses could aspire to. The 37-year-old 90210 actress has said that she'll never change her looks through plastic surgery.
"These are my looks, whether you like them or not," said Doherty. "They work for me. I have a gap in the middle of my teeth. You know how many people wanted to cover that gap?"
Doctors recommend cosmetic surgery for Hillary's political future
Filed under: Cosmetics, Get the Look
Sure, having people drop hints that you should get some cosmetic work done is offensive -- but having them write an article about it, now that's just straight-up, top-notch journalism. That's why we couldn't pass up this juicy report in which Orange County's finest surgeons give Hillary Clinton some notes on what to do with her face. That's right, these MDs say they can tell that she's already had some work done -- but she didn't get much bang for her buck. These prominent face fixers each say they could help Hillary look her best with a couple tweaks here and there. For example, Dr. Vince Afsahi recommends a dermafiller and a little botox action:
"Fillers such as Juvederm for the laugh lines, lip lines, and cheek augmentation can be used. Botox is wonderful for the crow's feet, frown lines, and glabella [between the eyebrows]."
Others, like Dr. Payman Simoni say that surgery is the only way to fix signs of aging in front of today's high tech cameras. Honestly, we think that talking about what Hillary should do to her face is just a little too creepy. What do you think?

Eye-lifts for men - A booming business
With all of the beauty products and cosmetics being marketed to men, it's really no surprise that more and more men are electing to go under the knife. However, one procedure in particular is catching on with lightening speed -- manbag (or eye-lift) surgery has more than quadrupled over the last two years in one chain of clinics, with similar increases seen across the board.
