Is 18-year Old Charice Getting Botoxed for Television
Appearance?
18-year-old Filipino singer Charice first became known to
America when she appeared on Ellen, after becoming a YouTube
sensation. Since then she has also appeared on Oprah and is preparing to
make an appearance on the hit television series Glee at the
end of the month. In addition to practicing her singing, Charice is also
reportedly undergoing Botox as well as Thermage.
At 18, Charice already looks younger than her age and does not
have a need for the Botox and Thermage anti aging procedures she is
reported to have gotten.

We love our Sandy, but we rue what it appears she’s done to
her once lovely face. Partly as a reaction to the Best Actress winner’s
masklike presence at the Oscars, image-conscious Angelenos are asking
for a kinder, gentler touch when it comes to anti-aging injectibles.
Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Nikolov is known for his
less-is-more approach to Botox and Juviderm-used, respectively, to ease
lines and plump up depressions in the skin. “I prefer to treat new
patients conservatively,” he advises. “It’s much wiser to underdo than
overdo injectibles the first time I see someone, then touch up as
required when they return to see me about two weeks later. An
experienced plastic surgeon can determine the most effective initial
treatment in way that less experienced health professionals do, given
our knowledge of facial musculature and anatomy.

Clinicians take a multi-disciplinary
approach to fighting obesity
By Frank Fraiser
A lot can change at high altitudes. For David G. Davtyan, MD, FACS,
FICS, the thin air at the 2001 Minimally Invasive Surgery Symposium
(MISS) in Snowbird, Utah, caused him to become short of breath. He
called his wife and gasped, “My fat is taking over my lungs!”
Davtyan had gradually reached a size that was causing him to tire
easily, but because he was successful in his career and personal life,
he wasn’t ashamed of his weight. It wasn’t until he attended an MISS
presentation given by Guy-Bernard Cadiere, MD, PhD, on laparoscopic
adjustable gastric banding that Davtyan considered undergoing the
procedure.
Trade in breast implants like an old car?

Trade in breast implants like an old car?
Women shouldn’t get the idea that changing breast sizes is as simple
as trading in a used car.
But some Hollywood celebrities are acting that way.
“Stars are treating breast surgery like getting a new car,” says
Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Nikolov. Celebrities decide
that their implants “are too big, too small, or they are uncomfortable.
So they trade them in for a different model.”
He cites TV personality Sharon Osbourne, singer/designer Victoria
Beckham and actress Denise Richards among the stars
who have had their breast implants removed or plan to do so.
Cosmetic Surgery Isn’t Vain – It’s Survival

Cosmetic Surgery Isn’t Vain – It’s Survival
When does cosmetic surgery stop being about looking better
and start being about survival?
It is no secret that beautiful people are revered.
We are all
painfully aware that each A-list celeb can be described as beautiful…if
not drop-dead gorgeous. Just take a look at George Clooney, Angelina
Jolie and Brad Pitt…
And now a recent study proves that human
beings are hard wired to actually prefer beautiful people. Couple that
with the legion of books which all hail the science of beauty, including
“Survival of the Prettiest” by Nancy Etcoff… all which lead us to
conclude that beauty is not quite as “skin deep” as stipulated by the
popular expression. A recent study conducted by ABC’s 20/20 shows that
human beings react more warmly to a person in distress if they are
beautiful. Which begs the question, are people really that shallow?
The answer, which is based in scientific fact, lends some much needed
insight…human beings are simply reacting to their own genetic instinct
when they appreciate and are drawn to beautiful people. But when you
combine the symptoms of “coveting beauty” to what can best be described
as a rocky economy you get an outcome that few could have predicted, a
spike in what many are labeling “survivalist” plastic surgery.

HEALTH CARE & BIOTECH: Beverly Hills
practitioners fear treatment is pushed as a quick fix.
By Deborah Crowe
The thousands of dollars that a controversial Beverly Hills surgery
center spent promoting its Lap-Band weight-loss procedure on billboards
around Los Angeles has been a mixed blessing for some lower-key
competitors in the 90210 ZIP code.
Dr. David Davtyan and Dr. Nicholas Nikolov appreciate the benefit
their own practices have received from the free publicity given to the
Lap-Band as a less invasive alternative to gastric bypass surgery.
