Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Blog – Harley Medical Group

While the majority of people coming to see us at Harley have a very firm idea of the changes they hope to make to their body, some find it harder than others to express themselves. Luckily, our expert doctors and nurses are great at finding out what people are looking for, but I do wonder whether it’s the worry about being misunderstood that makes people so keen to bring in a picture of a celebrity or to mention a famous name when they are telling us what they want.

Well, I knew that Simon’s blend of cheekiness and downright rudeness was popular, but I had no idea that he was so well loved. Turns out the music mogul has been named as the top earning man on American prime time TV! Can you believe that he’s reported to have earned 75 million dollars last year? That’s just crazy. (more…)

A survey by the Girl Guides which found that almost half of young teenage girls questioned would consider cosmetic surgery has caused quite a stir recently. And so it should, if we are talking about these teens considering and trying to undergo cosmetic surgery so young. But there’s something I think that a lot of critics are missing here – how many people can say they were truly self confident when they were a teenager? (more…)

I’ve always been interested in Dannii Minogue, partly because I’m really curious about how it feels to be a successful star who is the sister of a successful star! But Dannii has had a pretty varied career over the years – she’s been on the TV since she was seven years old, and she’s never kept quiet for long. From signing to acting and presenting, she’s always got something on the go, but it’s the X Factor that’s definitely upped her profile in the UK most recently. (more…)

I hadn’t heard about the whole hoo-ha over former American beauty queen Carrie Prejan at all until a few days ago, when I read in the news that she may have to pay pageant officials for her boob job. Apparently, she borrowed the money for the procedure back when she was a contestant and they are claiming that she never paid it back. (more…)

Burlesque shows are becoming more and more popular in the UK these days as ladies and men enjoy an evening of entertainment that celebrates the body. Normally these shows have a strip tease element these days, but a lot of the time they mix in a lot of comedy and entertaining short storylines or skits to make sure they appeal to lots of people. I’ve been to a few burlesque shows myself over the last few years and enjoyed them, but the thing that’s really interesting me about burlesque these days is the way that some people are really taking parts of its philosophy on board.

The other day a famous Hollywood surgeon let slip that men are asking to look like Hugh Jackman more than any other male star. I have to say that I’m not that surprised! Since he hit the screens in a big way with X-Men back in 2000, Hugh has been going from strength to strength and a quick poll of my friends shows that we like the way he looks as well as his acting skills.

It seems like it doesn’t matter what gossip pages I’m looking at, new stories about Jordan (or Katie Price as she now likes to be known) are always popping up. I was really upset for her, Pete and the kids when they split up, but recently I’m finding it harder to feel sympathetic. (more…)

A quick poll of any office and you’re certain to find that the majority of people don’t think of cake when someone mentions a muffin top. The phrase refers to the fat pads that can form around the hips and the way that they can roll over the waistbands of jeans and skirts – and it’s used so often that you’d be hard pushed to find someone that hasn’t heard it.

I’m so glad that more warnings have come out to try and explain to people why having cosmetic surgery on holiday isn’t a good idea. Medical tourism is a massive risk in many cases, with people jetting off to be treated by doctors they’ve never met in unfamiliar surroundings yet somehow hoping that they will experience the professional and relaxing service they deserve.
