Best of Cosmetic Surgery Directory Blog – Part 3

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

We are almost up to unveiling the absolute best blogs of the past year – almost. The top 3 will be revealed next week. Right now, I want to touch on 2 stories that are just so outrageous, you’d probably think that I am just making them up to shock and entertain. Sadly, my imagination is not quite this good. I couldn’t make up these stories even if I tried. Regardless, they are certainly worth a read.

Cross-Dressing Laundry Detergent Thief: “I’ll Surrender…Once My Breast Implants Heal”

This was my first post of 2010, and it set the tone for a great year. Lots of outrageous stories to report in the wacky world of plastic surgery, and this was by far one of best. I think the title pretty much says it all. But just in case you need a little more information to entice you to read the actual post…

I won’t reveal all of the details of this story here. You’ll need to read the initial post for that, and I highly encourage you to do so – this story is nothing short of unbelievable. A cross-dressing man in Charlotte, North Carolina was a fugitive from the law after stealing $48 of laundry detergent from a local Family Dollar store. Once he found out he was wanted for Grand Theft: Laundry Detergent, he promptly called the police to inform them that he was currently recovering from breast augmentation and would turn himself in as soon as he had healed.

Hmm. Maybe he was more than just a cross-dresser. Perhaps a bit of a transsexual? Maybe a bit confused about his gender identity? His name, Mitchelle (not Mitchell, not Michelle, but somewhere in between) seems to indicate that this might be the case. I guess the typical gender neutral names like Alex, Casey, Jamie, Taylor, etc. were too boring for him.

There are plenty of other interesting twists to this tale, including his poor choice of getaway car, an attempted murder, and the utter ineptitude of Charlotte police when trying to track down a 5’6”, 230 pound man with breast implants. Get my point? This one is a must-read.

Woman’s Breast Implant Stops Bullet

Yes, the Implant of Steel – foiling the plans of bad guys everywhere. I’ll bet you never thought getting a boob job would help you survive a shooting. Well, it turns out that in at least one case, a saline breast implant was just as good as a bulletproof vest.

The poor woman was the innocent victim of an unbalanced (read: crazy) husband who did not take his wife’s request for a divorce very well. He came to the dental office where his wife worked and shot up the place. Too bad the wife didn’t have breast implants. Maybe she would have survived the shooting. But luckily, our heroine had the Implant of Steel, ensuring that she would live to see another day. And it gave me a pretty good blog post in the process. Again, another must read.

Next week, I’ll reveal the top 3 plastic surgery blog posts of 2010. If you think these were good, you have no idea what you are in store for next week.

Best of Cosmetic Surgery Directory Blog 2010 – Part 2

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

We’re moving right along with my recounting of the best plastic surgery blogs of 2010. If this seems like an act of vanity to you, well…you may be right. But then again, I am writing about plastic surgery, and it doesn’t get any more vain than cutting open your body to change the way you look in the hopes that you’ll finally feel comfortable in your own skin.

Part 2 of this “Best of 2010” series will cover a couple of posts which I really liked for various reasons, but don’t quite measure up to the gems that will be revealed in Part 3 and Part 4. However, all of today’s posts are definitely worth giving a read if you haven’t already done so.

Plastic Surgery Junkie Injects Cooking Oil into Her Face

Yes, this is vile and disgusting. Make sure you haven’t recently eaten (or don’t plan to eat soon) before viewing the hideous photo of this woman’s monstrous face (it’s near the bottom of the blog post). When I say monstrous, I’m being kind. She looks like a freak out of a B-rated zombie movie.

Yes, sadly a middle aged Korean woman just couldn’t quite conquer her plastic surgery addiction in time. After nearly 20 years of frantically seeking out every plastic surgery procedure under the sun, the surgeons in Japan and Korea finally cut her off. Her parents, who no longer recognized her, sent her to therapy for an intervention. Unfortunately, therapy didn’t do the trick, and there aren’t too many 12 step programs for plastic surgery addicts.

Eventually, she was forced to take matters into her own hands. Without any access to the genuine article, she decided to try her luck with cooking oil. Trust me when I say that shooting cooking oil into your face is something that you should never, ever try – no matter how desperate you get. If you need to be talked off the ledge, just read the full post, which contains quite a few entertaining analogies to back-alley crack junkies.

Boobquake

With a name like Boobquake, how can I not put this blog in the “Best Of” series? If you have not heard about the Boobquake, then I really must ask where you were all spring. This event even garnered coverage on the Colbert Report.

An Iranian cleric boldly made the asinine statement that “Many women who do not dress modestly…lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes.” That’s right, according to this nut job, there is a direct correlation between showing lots of cleavage and an increase in earthquakes. And you wonder why I say religion is the root of all evil.

A college student at Purdue University heard this statement and decided to test the Iranian cleric’s theory scientifically. She created an event called Boobquake which encouraged women to dress immodestly on the same day to see if it would inspire the wrath of God. Initially, this was meant to be a joke, but it spread like wildfire over Facebook, and on the big day, more than 200,000 women across the world showed a little extra cleavage.

The Boobquake post describes the results of this science experiment in greater detail, and of course contains my gratuitous commentary on the situation. I must say, I instantly became a fan of Boobquake founder Jennifer McCreight. I think she’d make an excellent guest blogger for the Cosmetic Surgery Directory Blog, should I ever need a fill-in for a week or two.

Check back next week as we inch ever closer to revealing the absolute best blogs of 2010. It only gets better from here.

Best of Cosmetic Surgery Directory Blog 2010 – Part 1

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

Another year is coming to a close, and in the world of plastic surgery, there have been plenty of wacky stories to cover. Some were certainly more entertaining than others, and as always, there were a few that seem too over-the-top to be true. I have decided to create a “Best of 2010” series in order to highlight some of my favorites from the past year.

Part 1 of this series will focus exclusively on what I’d like to call “Repeat Offenders” – stories that received ongoing blog coverage throughout the year. Every once in awhile, I find a story worth following as it develops over time. These were some of the best.

Sheyla Hershey’s Near-Fatal 38KKK Breast Implants

The story of Sheyla Hershey’s near-fatal 38KKK breast implants were the subject of two blog posts this year. Both of these posts were a follow-up to my initial 2009 post covering her 9th breast augmentation procedure, which resulted in these behemoths being placed in her body.

It turns out that while Ms. Hershey accomplished her life’s dream of having the world’s largest breasts, her run at the top was rather short-lived. She eventually developed a staph infection caused by complications related to her breast augmentation. When forced to choose between her 38KKK silicone albatross and living past the age of 30, Hershey ultimately decided it would be better to live to a ripe old age as a flat-chested biddy than go down in flames holding the title of undisputed breast implant champion of the world.

The final blog on this topic was one of my all-time favorite posts for the 2010 year. It is chock-full of Rocky III references and is a must-read for anyone growing up in the 80s.

The Botox Bandit

With a nickname like “Botox Bandit,” Maria Elizabeth Chrysson was destined to become a repeat offender on my blog. I wish I could take credit for her clever, alliterative nickname, but unfortunately the Florida media beat me to the punch.

The “Botox Bandit” first made headlines while she was a fugitive wanted by the Florida police. She was ultimately apprehended and charged with walking out on multiple plastic surgeons, forcing them to foot the bill for her BOTOX procedures. She stole approximately $10,000 worth of BOTOX treatments before her glorious run came to an end. My initial blog post covers her arrest, while the follow-up post discusses the surprisingly lax punishment that was delivered by the Florida justice system.

Jessica Alba Wannabe Plastic Surgery Crisis

Some people just aren’t comfortable in their own skin. Xiaoqing, a 21-year-old girl from China, took this discomfort to an extreme this year. Devastated after being dumped by her boyfriend, Xiaoqing was willing to take extreme measures to win him back. She decided to undergo plastic surgery to look just like Jessica Alba, hoping that once she looked like her ex-boyfriend’s favorite actress, he’d jump right back into her arms (and maybe her bed too) and they would live happily ever after.

Eventually, Jessica Alba herself learned of this silliness, and she took time out of her busy schedule to personally contact Xiaoqing. Apparently, Jessica was quite disturbed by these developments. She urged Xiaoqing to be herself, regardless of whether her ex-boyfriend wanted to be with her. After this heart-to-heart conversation, Xiaoqing came to her senses and decided to keep her own face. I’m sure that several years from now, when Xiaoqing has gotten over the heartache she is currently enduring, she will be eternally grateful that Jessica Alba came to the rescue. After all, how many guys out there would find her datable after she radically reconstructed her face to look like an American movie star? In my book, those actions scream psycho.

My first blog post on this topic provides most of the details on this story, as well as the bulk of my commentary. Beware – this blog gets pretty harsh. I was on a bit of a soap box that day.

Check back in next week as I continue recounting the Best of 2010. Most of the great stories haven’t been highlighted yet, and 2010 was a great year for plastic surgery freaks.

British Woman Uses Welfare Benefits to Pay for Breast Augmentation

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Here’s a great blog to boost your giving spirit right before Christmas. Stories like this almost make you have to admit that maybe Scrooge had it right after all.

Kelly Marshall is a 32-year-old mother of five (with four separate baby-daddies) who has never worked a day in her life. She receives more than $44,000 a year in welfare benefits to cover housing costs and the general expenses it takes to raise five children. But instead of using that money to pay for food, clothing, and shelter for her rather large family, she has decided to spend that money on making herself more attractive.

Marshall recently spent almost $7,000 of her welfare money on breast augmentation to take her from a 34A to a 34DD. She even had enough welfare money left to take vacations to Tenerife, Cyprus, and Magaluf (twice) this year. Each of those vacations cost her about $3,000. Somehow, I doubt she’ll get my vote for Mother of the Year.

When asked about the grossly irresponsible use of her welfare money, Marshall responded, “I have wanted a boob job since I was a teen, but it wasn’t until I had five children that I was able to afford it – with all the benefits I get. Now I hope to have liposuction, a tummy tuck, and regular BOTOX.”

That sounds pretty expensive. I guess she may need to save up her welfare checks for a couple more years before she can go for all that plastic surgery. Or perhaps she’ll just start wearing low-cut dresses that accentuate her brand-spanking-new DD cleavage so that she can attract another baby-daddy. I’ll bet the additional welfare funds she receives for baby #6 will more than cover her next round of procedures. I mean, it’s not like she’s going to spend the money on diapers or baby formula.

But don’t get too irate as you read this blog. She’s not wasting your heard-earned tax dollars. Kelly Marshall is draining the British welfare system.

I don’t understand how these plastic surgeons don’t look into their patients’ finances before moving forward with the procedure. It seems pretty unethical to operate on a woman who has 5 kids, no job, and collects welfare. I’m just sayin’.

Beyond the horror of the fact that her children do without their essentials so that she can have bigger breasts, there is another serious problem with this situation. What kind of message does this send to her 5 kids? I would imagine that they are doomed to grow up to be lazy monsters who will also prey on the welfare system to get whatever it is that they want out of life. That is, if they make it to adulthood without some serious disease stemming from malnourishment.

If you are interested in breast augmentation in the Alexandria, Virginia or Washington, DC area, please contact board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Desman today to schedule your initial consultation. But be aware, Dr. Desman doesn’t accept welfare checks or food stamps as payment.

Man Kidnaps Wife to Prevent her from Having Breast Augmentation

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

Plastic surgery can bring out the worst in people, causing them to do some pretty strange things – like kidnap their wives. I suppose desperate times bring desperate measures, and if you are an au naturale kind of guy, the thought of your wife getting breast augmentation can drive you to fits of madness.

At least that seems to be the case for James McCarthy. The London resident was just sentenced to 20 months in jail for kidnapping his wife, Kerry, in an attempt to preserve her natural breasts. I guess the thought of squeezing a couple of silicone implants for the rest of his life was just too much for him to handle.

McCarthy’s 27-year-old wife was dead set on getting breast augmentation. When she discussed it with her husband, he voiced his vehement opposition, telling her he liked her the way she was. Apparently, he wasn’t very persuasive. Kerry booked the surgery anyway.

When she arrived at the hospital to undergo breast augmentation, Kerry had a black eye, apparently inflicted in a lover’s quarrel. While she was preparing for surgery, her husband stormed into the hospital to beg her to reconsider. When she refused, he went ballistic, threatening to kill her (he claimed he had a knife). McCarthy grabbed his wife’s clothes around her neck and tried to drag her out of the hospital, kicking and screaming. She eventually escaped his grasp and ran into a nearby office, collapsing on the floor.

At his sentencing, the judge commented, “You are, in plain English, a bully.”

Currently, the couple is separated. However, McCarthy got his wish. Kerry hasn’t undergone breast augmentation…at least, not yet.

While I personally sympathize with McCarthy’s desire to have an implant-free wife, I can’t exactly get behind his methods of persuasion. The man is clearly a nut job. And his reward for his efforts – the knowledge that pretty soon some guy, who is probably a bit more mentally stable, will be fondling his wife’s natural breasts while silently thanking him for preventing her from doing the deed. Score one for irony.

I think the moral of this story is pretty obvious: make sure you and your husband are on the same page before you decide to undergo breast augmentation. Or at the very least, make sure he undergoes a psychiatric evaluation before you openly defy his desire for you to keep your natural breasts.

If you are sure that your psychotic husband will not threaten your life and kidnap you to prevent you from getting the breast implants you so desperately desire, then please contact experienced Denver plastic surgeon Dr. David Broadway today to schedule your initial consultation. However, if your husband has a bit of a rage issue, you might want to think about getting a restraining order first.
