Pete Burns has admitted that having botched cosmetic surgery in the past has not put him off having more surgery – in fact, recent photos of him with a swollen face at a fashion show are the results of more plastic surgery.
Hollywood star Julianne Moore has said she is not going to have cosmetic surgery on her face.
“First and foremost, I’m an actor and so I don’t want to do anything to my face. I can do whatever I want, and I’m still going to be 49 years old, it’s not going to change anything,” Moore said.
“I don’t know that I’m going to look any younger, I’m just going to look like I’ve had something done to my face.”
In the past year, the number of UK women over 50 having cosmetic surgery has surged. New figures from the Harley Medical Group have shown that large numbers of post-menopausal women looking for plastic surgery is on the increase.
New research has shown that a cosmetic surgery for reconstructing breast tissue using stem cells is safe.
The stem cell breast reconstruction idea has been around for several years and has been heralded as a fantastic treatment for women who have had to have mastecotomies due to breast cancer. However there were some concerns that the new technology could see the breast cancer ‘reactivate’ over time.
Actress Dana Delaney has said that following problems with Botox injections, she has been put off cosmetic surgery for life.
The Body of Proof star told Prevention that she chose to have Botox injections seven years ago after they were recommended by her dermatologist. However when the Botox was injected, the needle hit a nerve causing a large hematoma (localized swelling filled with blood).
A new machine that promises to freeze away the flab has been developed by scientists. Reportedly cheaper than liposuction and with patients able to go home almost immediately, the new procedure is sure to spark plenty of interest in cosmetic surgery enthusiasts.
The new machine is known as the ‘CoolSculpting Device’. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have already approved it’s use and one machine is already operating in a London clinic.
Tanning enthusiasts are being warned away from tanning injection Melanotan. The drug, which costs around £250 for a course, is illegal in the UK.
Recent reports have shown that the tanning injection’s popularity is on the increase, partly because some people are looking to keep their all-year tan without the cancer risks associated with tanning beds. However Melanotan can leave users looking as though they have been “Tango’d”, a reference to the popular bright orange fizzy drink.
