Never Assume that What You See is What you Get

2009-08-11T15:44:00.000-07:00

Remember the grade school teacher who told you never to assume? Something along the lines of "To assume is to make..." well, hey, never mind. I'm sure you remember it!

She should have canned the lecture and instead shown this YouTube video which is ostensibly about rhinoplasty.

But you would never guess a dinner-time lecture on a nose job is a cleverly concealed commercial. You could also use this commercial for one of those "Wanna get away?" pitches.

(One of the problems with television commercials: some are so clever and entertaining, you totally forget who the sponsor is!)

Here's our vote for that category for the week:

Nebraska “Butt Bandit” is Busted

2009-03-23T15:45:00.000-07:00

More and more people are asking plastic surgeons for buttocks augmentation.

Mostly, they just want to look better in clothes or swim wear, especially in places like Los Angeles where you can spend a lot of time pool side or at the beach. Women especially enjoy having a curvier figure in any location.

But a 35-year-old man in Nebraska was recently sentenced to 13 months in jail for showing off too much of his rear. How?

He left imprints of his rear end on windows. Even though he did not steal anything - except maybe a new record for bad taste and gross behavior - locals in Valentine, Nebraska, started calling him the "Butt Bandit" although nobody inquired if he had buttocks enhancement surgery.

Whatever the case, it looks like he was really proud of his hind quarters.

He left the buttock marks by smearing his rear with Vaseline and then backing into windows to leave an unmistakable likeness of his nether regions. Then, he disappeared into the night.

Complaints from local citizenry poured in so the police put their own hinnies into action looking for their man.

During the wee hours one night, he was caught red-handed in the act of leaving his calling card. Later, he was charged with eight misdemeanor counts of public indecency and one of disturbing the peace. (Read more about the buttocks caper.) He was sentenced to a year in jail.

For ordinary people not interested in public indecency and who only want a better looking behind, here's how plastic surgeons perform buttocks augmentation:

They take fat from your own body, carefully prepare it and inject it back throughout the layers of your buttocks muscles.

Once the new fat finds a blood supply, the buttocks become more shapely and rounder. A little liposuction above and below the buttocks make things look even better. Many women patients say the procedure complements a breast augmentation.

Somebody should rewrite the old refrain about writing on walls and defacing property. You probably remember the old version, "Fools names, like their faces, and are often seen in public places."

But, hey, that's a tough assignment. Hardly anything rhymes with "buttocks"!

How would you write the rhyme?

Diet, Exercise and Liposuction in Los Angeles

2008-08-26T15:42:00.000-07:00

If all the exercise in the world is not getting rid of that extra bulge on your hips or thighs, you might consider having liposuction in Los Angeles. Sometimes, you can diet and exercise and see great overall results, but still maintain the extra weight in stubborn areas of your body, which seems very unfair considering how difficult all that exercise and dieting can be. If these areas continue to be unresponsive to diet and exercise, there are other options, including having liposuction. This procedure is specifically designed to target smaller areas of fat that are very difficult to get rid of with exercise. During the liposuction procedure, your plastic surgeon will actually suction out fatty tissue through a tiny incision. While you will experience a little swelling at first after the procedure, soon the swelling will disappear and you will find yourself more slender and sculpted than you have been in years. While liposuction in Los Angeles cannot replace diet and exercise, it can definitely complement your efforts to look and feel better about yourself.

Who Should Choose a Tummy Tuck

2008-08-11T11:41:00.000-07:00

A tummy tuck is a great way to reshape your stomach. However, it is not for everyone. Who can benefit most from this surgery? The best candidates for a tummy tuck are women who were recently pregnant and desire to return their body to its original shape, as well as women who have experienced considerable weight loss and now have sagging flesh on their stomachs. This surgery is not for those looking to lose weight.
A tummy tuck procedure removes the excess skin and fat from your abdomen, providing a flatter, more aesthetically pleasing midsection. While you will not attain a drum tight belly from the surgery, it is highly beneficial for women who suffer from excess skin and tissue around their abdomen and can help increase self-confidence in your appearance.
