Our First Spring Beauty

Our patient of the month for March is Teneia! After coming to the decision to have a breast augmentation, Teneia did her research and came to Dr. Walden for it. She wanted a natural look and she looks and feels great! She is so happy with her results, she spoke with LXNY about why she wanted to have the procedure done (video below). Teneia talks about the right reason to have plastic surgery done: she did it for herself. She is a confident and beautiful young woman and we are so happy to have been part of her experience. See what she had to say about it...enjoy!

Why Rose Why?

I'm sure those of you that saw Rose McGowan on Law and Order SVU on Wednesday night were as disappointed as I was to see what she has done to herself. Her face just looks awful and fake. Her lips are over-injected, her cheeks are over-injected, and it looks like she has had her nose worked on again. Her whole face seemed puffy and abnormal. She could have done some correction without over-doing it, which she clearly did. By looking at early pictures of her (the Charmed era), you can see she had a little work done on her nose but it fit her face beautifully and I think she looked great. Now she has just gone too far and it is disappointing.

The sad thing is that I thought she was a pretty girl before all this and I liked her. She took on tough-girl roles and that's why women liked her and why men were attracted to her. I was willing to overlook the whole Marilyn Manson relationship and the chain-link dress but not this. When you take a pretty face and do this to it, it is just a shame. For those of you that forgot how pretty she used to be, I have added an older photo of her.

More men getting plastic surgery

Although we may write about women most of the time on this blog, we cannot forget that the number of men getting plastic surgery today is rising. Many high profile men opt to go under the knife but even 'average men' want to improve their appearance and are certainly willing to go through surgery. An ASPS Member Surgeon, Dr. Stephen Baker told one news source, "They want to look good. So when they have the financial means to do it, they are ready to do it now." (IndianExpress) Some of the more popular cosmetic procedures that men are having done seem to be rhinoplasty, facelifts and hair transplants, in addition to getting peels and using fillers.
Of course, I do feel the need to mention that women still get more plastic surgery than men. According to IndianExpress, "Women received 91 per cent of all cosmetic procedures, totaling 11.5 million." Breast Augmentation has been noted as being the top cosmetic procedure for women. Last year about 300,000 women underwent breast augmentation, making this a 40% increase of women going under the knife for this procedure in the last 10 years. I'd also like to add that this procedure remains to be the most popular procedure among Dr. Walden's patients.
