BB Surf 7: What We’ve Been Reading
Marie Claire, My Best Friend’s Boob Job When we first saw this article we thought, “Great, yet another story of how someone based her self-esteem on her bra size.” But then, mid-appointment, she went home.
MSNBC.com, Legislator Wants Tighter Rules on Plastic Surgery You probably heard how Kanye West’s mother died last year after having several plastic surgery procedures performed by a non-board certified doctor. An Illinois lawmaker wants to make something of it. We hope she wins!
Times Online, Cosmetic Surgery: Make Me The Way I Was Some surgeons claim that 50% of their work involves “un-doing” plastic surgery operations that patients regretted. It’s a long read, but we love the quote at the end.
Jezebel, Missdemeanors Our friends at Jezebel write a weekly feature that sticks up for women that are disrespected by gossip bloggers. You may have read the very blog they’re chastizing and not have had a second thought; thanks, ladies, for keeping us all on our toes! (And creating such a good graphic, too!)

As an independent patient consultant for plastic surgery for over 12 years it infuriates me when politicians decide to pass a law masked to the consumer as an attempt to “make things safer”. This death as with any unexpected death is a tragedy. We don’t need a law to insure that women over 50 are having regular check ups for the leading cause of death among women ,which is heart disease. The ASPS (of which Dr. Adams is not a member) recommends all patients over the age of 50 obtain medical clearance prior to surgery. People of means (with insurance and or financial ability) in this country have access to a physical at the very least ,once a year. Do we need a law to make them get one? This affects the American taxpayer. #1 who is going to police this? #2Which surgeries are considered plastic surgery? The latest ASPS figures included cosmetic procedures as plastic surgery. As a matter of fact of the over 11 million procedures that they claim were performed last year only 18% were actually surgery. The rest were injectables, laser and other non invasive procedures. Will they require medical clearance by law? More government does not equal more safety.www.AngelaSegal.com
