When I went in for a rhinoplasty consultation, the doctor said "Hummm? What do you want? Yeah...I guess we could do something, but you don't need it. Chin implant? No, you don't need that. You're certainly a cute little thing!"

Besides being pretty sexist, I was certain he wouldn't try to coerce me into any unnecessary surgeries.

Sigh..what is wrong with people? This whole article is upsetting. I saw HE IS NOT THAT INTO YOU Tuesday night( yeah..I know....so not good..but anyway...). When I got home, I went on the IMDB message boards to see what where people's opinion of the movie. Well, one person was very critical of what he ( it was a he..he confirmed it..) deemed to be the sight of three "chunky" actresses in the movie (Scarlett Johansson,

Drew Barrymore and....Ginnifer Goodwin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I was sooooooo pissssssssssssssssed!! Is he kidding me?

Let me tell you something, though Jennifer Aniston had what is deemed to be THE body type, Scarlett was so utterly creamy-skinned, bosomy-yummy, delicious derriere sexy that I was left in awe.....

No offense to Aniston/Connelly ....

@Artemisia999: I've seen Drew in real life and expected her to be like a normal girl in terms of body type, she is actually super TINY. He was very wrong about her being chunky.

This may be a really stupid question but is the woman in the photograph the author/undercover surgery seeker because she's super skinny?????

This surprises people? Plastic surgery is all elective surgery. Plastic surgeons are business people, not medical professionals. They might not tell you that most plastic surgery on lasts 6 to 18 months and needs to be redone at the same cost.

@PersonOfInterest: No, it's not all elective surgery. Plastic surgeons also do reconstruction, for burn victims, for trauma victims, for breast cancer survivors. They fix things like facial deformities as well as abnormalities in things like hands. Yes, a lot of plastic surgeons choose to focus exclusively on cosmetic procedures, but not all of it is purely elective.

"Do you think with the recession, these kind of elective surgeries will decrease."

I thought we just had an article the other day about Botox procedures decreasing, but then we get this.

"I do understand the pressure to look a certain way. In L.A. I found it unrelenting."

That's why I will never ever ever live there. Not even if global warming covers every other habitable city on the planet with water. I'd rather drown than suffocate.

I mean, if you're surrounded by it and obsessed with it every nanosecond of every day, how are you ever supposed to get anything else done? Ever?

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: You can always adopt my "from NYC" attitude and relentlessly make fun of LA and how cheese it is.

I also have a lot of NYC friends here.

I was out with a few of them one night, all dudes, my roommate was with me. She is slamming hot in a trendy LA sort of way.

When I mentioned her being there a few weeks later they were all [in a hardcore NYC accent] "Oh yeah, that trendy chick?"

I figured they would be all about her like guys are everywhere else we go, but apparently not. Chalk another one up for NYC.

I am simply delighted that I have a new fruity name for the part of my ass that sticks out of my panties.

"Honey, what do you think of my bikini bottoms? Does it show the right amount of banana roll?"

I feel like writing a song about it. Honestly.

Does anyone else remember the late-90s series "Providence" about a plastic surgeon who moved home to Providence, RI from LA to get closer to her family and get back to the original reason she went into the specialty - to help people with problems that can be fixed with plastic surgery, like cleft palates? Melina Kanakaredes was on it. I loved it in part because of her hair that kind of resembles mine, but also because she was the kind of plastic surgeon that I hoped was the norm, one that was more concerned with helping than with the money.

I suspect that Nip/Tuck is more the norm, though, which makes me kind of sad.

Plastic Surgeons should be seriously required to have psycho-evaluations to ensure THEY are not suffering from BDD.

When I was in 12th grade, I was reading my sociology textbook (I should mention that I used to live in Israel which healthcare was universal), and on the subject of hopsitals, whose whole objective was 'to make money'. I think I gasped out loud. To me, this was akin to telling me the sky was green, and it actually was.

My point is that most plastic surgeons are in the business of making money. Dr. Racanelli- a surgon who was willing to take the risk of the patient telling him what she wanted to do (and risking making less money off of her) is probably the exception rather then the rule. Or maybe he can safely assume that with this particular patient, her choosing this procedure versus that won't make the diffrence in his income.

@Maria Liubin: I think that as far as doctors as a whole go, most care about ethics. And I mean, seriously, if they grossly violate ethics, ie value compensation over care, they can lose their license, or at least their job. My dad's an ER doc. He's almost been fired because he refuses to prescribe meds to people who don't need them.

@funnyface: I do see your point, but the patients who go to a doctor and tell them make me beautiful do not neccesarily (pardon the spelling) care about ethics.

@Maria Liubin: As someone considering plastic surgery, most of the doctors I look at do a huge amount of reconstructive surgery (including free surgery to those unable to afford it). One also does a lot of dental work and jaw reconstruction. Maybe it's because I'm only looking at doctors from esteemed research institutions, but they don't seem like they're purely in it to make money.

Remember not too long ago the article Jez covered about plastic surgeons refusing to see medical cases because cosmetics is so much more lucrative? Yeah, that's why this doesn't surprise me at all.
