After weeks of speculation, Tara Reid has finally admitted to undergoing corrective surgery last month for botched plastic surgery that she had two years ago.

FemaleFirst reports that the American Pie star’s confession appears in the new issue of Us Weekly. The article reveals that her initial breast implant and liposuction procedures gone wrong have left her “devastated”.

She tells American publication Us Weekly, "I got my breasts done for the first time because my breasts were uneven. I was a 34B, but the right one was always bigger than the left.

"I weigh 110 pounds (50 kilograms) now, but I always used to fluctuate by 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms), so my skin was kind of saggy. I figured, 'I'm in Hollywood, I'm getting older, I'm going to fix them.'"

Apparently, boob jobs don’t work on British men nowadays. In fact, it turns them off, according to a recent survey conducted by a magazine. A report by The Daily Telegraph on the poll says:

A poll for More magazine found that 85 per cent of men aged 18 to 34 said they hated plastic surgery and found it a "complete turn-off" in women.

The survey, which polled 1600 men in the age group across the UK, found a further 15 per cent claimed not to even notice women's cosmetic surgery.

Boob jobs can turn off people, but only when they’re awfully done, just like the ones Tara Reid and Vivica A. Fox had to go through. Or when women get breast implants that seem bigger than their actual body mass.

Scarlett Johansson, recently crowned by the readers of FHM magazine as the sexiest woman in the world, may seem all-natural. There’s no question about the pair of knockers gay fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi groped at the Golden Globes, nor are there any doubts about the fullness of her lips.

But Starfruit Gossip recently posted a series of pictures that show Scarlett’s nose at various stages of her public life, and it does seem apparent that she’s had a nose job. And judging from the pictures, the plastic surgeon who performed rhinoplasty on her did a real good job.

This, of course, is just mere speculation.

Two Ohio doctors, one a cancer surgeon and the other a plastic surgeon, have teamed up to offer breast cancer sufferers what they call “oncoplastic surgery”. This Journal News report says Dr. Jennifer Manders, a UC Physicians breast cancer surgeon, and Dr. Anureet Bajaj, a University of Cincinnati Physicians plastic surgeon began offering this procedure in August.

What exactly is “oncoplastic surgery”?

Journal News gives us the goods:

It is a procedure in which a cancer surgeon and plastic surgeon work side by side to assess treatment options, remove the cancerous tumor and surrounding tissue and immediately reconstruct the disfigured breast using the patient's own tissue.

As a kid, we often get tagged with various nicknames. Some we think are cool, while most other nicknames are downright mean. And for a guy who has been called “Tits” all throughout his life, the nickname that stuck with a guy named Merle Yost more than qualifies for the latter.

Featured in a Contra CostaTimes report, Yost suffers from gynecomastia, the enlargement of the male breast is the result of an abnormal increase in the glandular tissue. Generally, enlarged male breasts are not harmful, but try telling that to Yost.

By junior high, the skinny kid from Missouri had pronounced breasts. Yost began what would be a lifetime struggle with what's medically known as gynecomastia, or casually referred to by many as "man boobs."

It isn’t a secret that Britney Spears has gained more than just a few pounds when she got married two years ago. Now that she’s given birth to a second child, rumors abound that Britney had a tummy tuck so she can gain a headstart in her quest to get that old "awesome and crazy" body back.

Many people ask, what exactly is a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck, which is formally known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the abdominal wall muscles. A person can choose to have a full tummy tuck, which takes somewhere between two to five hours, and a partial tummy tuck, a one to two-hour procedure.

This is what the Chicago Tribune has to say about Iran, one of the strictest Islamic countries in the Middle East. According to the Tribune report:

Black-shrouded matrons are still the backbone of Iranian society. But being young, urban and Iranian these days means tinkering with the look of and some less-than-spiritual ideals within the Islamic Republic.

Iranians, in increasing numbers and at surprisingly young ages, are altering flesh in the pursuit of beauty.

Botox, the wonder treatment that has become a worldwide craze in banishing unwanted wrinkles, unsightly neck bands, and crow's-feet, is finding itself in the news a lot lately.

After recent reports that Botox helps people with Bell’s Palsy and carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as the rather negative news that it is addictive, here comes the latest discovery about Botox, or botulinum toxin: it can be used to treat depression.

At least that’s what Dr. Eric Finzi, a dermatologist from Maryland, says. According to this News 14 Carolina report:

A previous post here referred to the boom in plastic surgery for men in the United Kingdom. Apparently, Chinese men have caught on too, and are now contributing to the growth of cosmetic surgery in China.

According to a report by People’s Daily, official figures have shown that an increasing number of men in Shanghai are getting more conscious about the way they look and are now visiting cosmetic surgery clinics and beauty salons.

According to the local branch of the China Hairdressing and Beauty Association, about 30 per cent of the more than 2 billion yuan (US$250 million) in annual income in the industry is earned from male customers. The male beauty market is growing at the steady rate of 20 per cent every year.

A recent survey reveals that one in five Americans are thinking about getting plastic surgery done someday.

According to this CNN report, the survey, which was sponsored by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS), conducted in July 1,010 interviews of men and women aged 18 to 65 years. The results are quite revealing.

The almost one in five individuals who indicated that they hope to someday undergo cosmetic surgery mostly included women, young adults, and individuals who live in the Western part of the United States, survey findings indicate.
