It’s not often that something good can come out of a death, particularly a death of someone young and healthy who was taken unexpectedly. So I’m really happy to hear that Donda West’s death has led to a change in law for plastic surgery, making it safer for patients.
In California, the death of Donda West, 58, in November prompted two lawmakers to push for additional patient safety protections.

This is an update on the previous story---but one thing still remains unshared: THE NAMES OF THE DOCTORS
While it is nice for the USAF to admit wrongdoing, and even admit a travesty occurred...they are not going to allow the press to learn the name of the intern that botched the surgery OR the physician that was responsible for supervising the surgery.
A note: From personal experience, this intern cut the aortic valve in this airman's heart ....someplace FAR from where any incision should have been made in order to perform a laparoscopic gallbladder surgery.
Typically the three incisions for this procedure are near the belly button, on the right side near rib cage, and approximately four to six inches off the mid line to the left at rib cage margin....no where close to the aortic valve.

Don’t you ever sit in the library and think, “This is alright, but what we really need are some books about plastic surgery for kids.” No? Odd. I’m pretty sure most of us have come upon this common problem: how do we explain our new breasts, our oddly arched eyebrows, or our creaseless faces to our four-year-olds?

38 year-old actress and mother Cate Blanchett doesn’t mince words when it comes to explaining how she feels about her fellow thespians and others who undergo plastic surgery. She says that she doesn’t find it attractive when people get work done and that their motivation is “self obsession” and “fear.”
The 38-year-old actress - who recently gave birth to her third child with husband Andrew Upton - hates the idea of plastic surgery, and is happy to have some lines on her face.
She said: “For me, I think what will be sexy in 50 years time will be wrinkles.

I recently had a surgery on my right eye(lid) in order to fix a medical issue. A ton of my lashes have fallen out and I look pretty ridiculous right now. I am hoping that my lashes will grow back in a little bit and I've talked to my doctor about it and everything.

Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler says he checked into to a rehab facility earlier this month to recover from foot surgeries to repair problems caused by his stage moves.
"The doctors told me the pain in my feet could be corrected but it would require a few surgeries over time," Tyler says in a statement released Thursday. "The 'foot repair' pain was intense, greater than I'd anticipated.

Comedienne Rosanne Barr is so sarcastic that it’s hard to tell when she’s being truthful. However it seems that she was telling the truth – or I guess oversharing – last night on the Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson when she told Craig that she’d had vaginal rejuvenation surgery. Craig asks her what it’s like being out there as a single woman, and she mentions that she had the surgery and she know has a “vajunior” instead of a vagina.
