Celebrities Encourage Enquiries For Gastric Band Surgery,
The growing number of celebrities such as John Daly, Vanessa Feltz, Fearn Britton and Sharon Osbourne are leading to a growing number of enquiries for the procedure, according to one clinic.
The growing acceptance of plastic surgery is thought to be due in part to the number of celebrities talking openly about the cosmetic surgery they have had, whether it be liposuction, face lift, tummy tuck or breast enlargement.
Celebrities also have a more direct influence on the plastic surgery people seek, for instance Cheryl Cole is thought to be behind an increase in people seeking the controversial procedure dimpleplasty and Kim Kardashian is thought to have inspired more people to go for butt implants.

World First Full Face Transplant Plastic Surgery Patient Meets The Press,
The first man ever to have a full face transplant met the worlds press yesterday.
The man, known simply as Oscar, suffered from severe facial injuries after accidentally shooting himself in the face in 2005. He has now had a transplant of complete facial skin and muscles, eyelids, nose, lips, upper jaw, all teeth, the palate, cheekbones and lower jaw. The operation took 22 hours. Most plastic surgery procedures such as breast enlargement, tummy tuck and liposuction only take 1 hour.
It will take at least 18 months of therapy to regain 90% of the control of his new face, but he struggled to speak to the press yesterday, saying “I’m very happy to be here and I wanted to express my gratitude to the hospital and medical team and to all donors in Spain, especially the family of the man whose face I received.”

Britains Fattest Woman Dies After Being Denied Gastric Band,
Sharon Mevsimler, Britains largest woman, died yesterday in hospital after years of overeating.
Sharon had been denied a gastric band operation, partly because she was too large to safely undergo surgery, and partly because doctors did not believe that she would follow the post-op diet necessary to avoid complications and achieve a good result.
Witnesses at Broomfield Hospital, where she had been a patient for two months, claim that the woman’s family smuggled food including fish & chips and fried chicken into the hospital for her.
Cutbacks mean it has become increasingly difficult to obtain bariatric and cosmetic surgery such as breast enlargement, liposuction and tummy tuck on the NHS.

Liposuction, Tummy Tuck Face Lift Most Popular For Minorities,
A recent survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery has revealed the most popular surgeries for ethnic minorities.
Liposuction is the most popular procedure among black people, followed by breast reduction and forehead lift. Black people make up 18.8% of plastic surgery clients who are not white. Those of Hispanic origin, who make up 27.14% of minority clients, opt for tummy tuck procedures, as well as thigh lift and breast enlargement. Asians, who make up the largest proportion of non-white plastic surgery clients at 31.4%, are most likely to seek a face lift, followed by eyelid surgery and ear surgery.
The survey does not include figures for gastric band, as this is bariatric surgery rather than cosmetic.

Earlier this year Jessica Alba persuaded Chinese student Xiaoqing not to have surgery such as liposuction and breast enlargement to look like her, after the girl announced her plans, intended to lure back her ex boyfriend. The Kim wannabe states similar reasons for her plans “I’m getting head to toe plastic surgery next week to look like Kim Kardashian so my husband won’t leave me. He worships Kim Kardashian.”
Kim replied to the woman on Twitter “NO. Pls don’t, Ur husband should love u 4 who u are! Don’t try 2 b someone else. Im sure u are beautiful inside & out!
