Aging does not mean you give up and hand in your sexy card. Raquel Welch is 73 and still gives men the full salute.

Jennifer Lopez’s famous backside was ground zero -according to premiere Butt doctor to the stars Dr. Constantino Mendieta of Miami – for shifting the focus of desirability from boobs to bottom. It was that darn Versace dress she wore in 2000 that shifted the eternal battle in the war between a man’s gaze between tits and ass. Ass is currently in the lead. (more…)

Surgery, wigs, tape: Stars’ red carpet secrets

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The flawless looks about to be unveiled on the Oscars red carpet have been months in the making and require an army of experts.

With perhaps the highest concentration of cameras anywhere in the world that night, plus millions of viewers keenly critiquing every outfit, Oscar’s red carpet is the ultimate runway, where designers and their muses are discovered and celebrated. Hair and makeup trends are established. New style-setting stars are crowned. And sartorial scorn is heaped upon those who make even the slightest misstep.

All that perfection takes a lot of preparation. Here’s a look at the standard steps and secret tricks that stars employ to get red carpet ready:

• Donovan Nelson, 54, sought treatment to enhance his body as it became harder to maintain with age
• He underwent VASER treatment, which involved melting away the unwanted fat and draining it
• Cost him £10,000 but feels ‘so much happier’ with new body and loves dancing with top off in Ibiza (more…)

Stand-up comedian Monique Marvez has a 28-inch waist and favors skin-tight size-8 gowns, both for her “clean comedy” corporate events and somewhat racier appearances on the Showtime series “Snoop Dogg’s Bad Girls of Comedy.” (more…)

The fight against fat is certainly booming. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (surgery.org), from 2010-2011, there was almost a 13% increase in the total number of liposuction procedures with over 300,000 procedures performed. To meet the growing demand for a slimmer physique, an expansive array of non-invasive bulge busting treatments that promise to freeze flabby tummies, laser love handles and melt midriffs are cropping up on the Dr. Oz Show these days. It can be confusing to sort through all the options and separate the hype from hope.  (more…)

Magic wand for fat melting? Yes, says top plastic surgeon

Gowns and revealing clothes offer little leeway for stars to look their best, so this time of year has many seeking fixes to their bulging dilemmas.

There are amazing techniques available now that eliminate surgery and utilize technology to literally melt lipids (fat) sub-dermally and even tighten skin, and the best part is that the results are immediate and even continue after the treatment ends.

Dr. Peter Fodor, hailed by U.S. News’ Castle Connolly as part of the prestigious top 1% in the nation for plastic surgery, is the pioneer that the Sound Surgical Technologies company enlisted to research and develop their cutting edge non-invasive fat fighter: VaserShape.

Dr. Fodor’s reputation is internationally renowned as a leader in the field of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and he is highly respected by the profession as a surgeon, teacher and author.

In the area of liposuction, Dr. Fodor bucks the trend of wide-awake surgery and prefers general anesthesia and no lasering for a smoother effect, as he tells M&C that his practice addresses numerous “redo” surgeries from botched lasering and horrific scar tissue knots that leave an uneven rippled effect for many patients.

Vaser Shape: Lipo, Redux

 Recently, I was asked to try the Vaser Shape, an ultrasound treatment that zaps fat cells and essentially does what liposuction does, but – keyword – non-invasively. Phrases along the lines of, “immediate results, painless, and free” were the factors that made the decision easy an easy yes for me. “What can I lose?” I thought. “An hour of my time? If it doesn’t work, well, it’s non-invasive so no harm.” But there was still the possibility of it actually working, so I’m not going to lie, I was super-excited. (more…)

Why head out of the country for surgery when you could get better results here in the US? (more…)

Now I am not into being lazy about obtaining a fit body. I work out several times a week but recently it feels like I just can’t seem to get rid of my belly. My massage therapist reminded me, to my chagrin, that it is natural for my body to add “padding” to my midsection to prepare me for the next stage of life. So though I fight it with my spinning, cardio kickboxing and weightlifting; my belly is still there taunting me (and it doesn’t help that I still eat whatever I want…LOL). (more…)

 Imagine a non-surgical way to way to sculpt and smooth your body’s most stubborn problem areas. Are you unhappy with your stomach or maybe looking to tone your legs? Now, on top of this, envision losing inches from your physique in just one, yes I said, one day.  Too good to be true? Think again, these dreams have now become a reality. (more…)

Spring cleaning: Ways to obliterate the lumps and bumps before summer

Cellulite is a problem that affects 85% of women (and a respectable percentage of men too) over the age of 20.

But until now, cellulite was treated mainly with topical creams, exercise and intensive rolling massage techniques. Even advanced Lipo procedures were largely ineffective because of the fibrous nature of cellulite fat cells.

Not just cellulite, but fat deposits on chins, arms, thighs and tummies that are resistant to exercise are bedeviling to many people who are within normal weight ranges.

But there are fantastic affordable breakthroughs in deep penetrating lasers, sound waves and new Lipo techniques that stimulate fat cells to spill their contents out and either melt away (via a suctioning cannula) or be excreted through the body’s natural elimination process.There is even a breakthrough skin firming and perfecting body makeup that creates a perfect canvas of skin topically to further boost confidence.

A Brazilian Butt Lift for a Rounder Rear End

Ah, the plight of modern woman: excess fat where you don’t want it and not enough volume where do want it on your body. For many years, women have asked, “Why can’t you take this and move it here?” referencing belly fat to the breast or buttock region. Now you can. Using the fat transfer procedure, many revolutionary techniques have emerged to better hide potential scarring and ensure better grafting results to the derriere.

For quite some time, the focus has been on breast augmentation but now attention has moved down south… and behind to the buttocks. Traditional buttock augmentation has been performed with an implant, not dissimilar to a breast implant, but this procedure was fraught with complications post-procedure. As recently seen on The Doctors, a new technique founded by Dr. Constantino Mendieta, The Miami Thong Lift offers patients a fuller and rounder buttock with little or no scarring.

One of the key points Dr. Mendieta makes is to have a successful Brazilian Butt Lift, you must have an excess of fat to move to the buttocks. In some cases, he will send his patients to “Booty Camp,” a diet in which the patient is to gain approximately 20 lbs so there is excess fat to remove and transfer.
