Plastic Surgeons’ Odd Requests

Celebrity Plastic Surgery Comments (0)

The ueber popular RealSelf.com carries a feature about the odd requests for surgery made to plastic surgeons.

 

The denied cosmetic surgeries include:

• A professional gambler who was high on the radar screen – and cameras – of Las Vegas casinos; he wanted a whole new face to escape scrutiny.
• A terminal patient asked for a face lift so she would look great at her funeral.
• One 78-year-old patient asked for a nose job so she would look good in her coffin.
• A patient who used adhesive tape for a decade to hold up wrinkles, sagging and deep facial folds requested a face lift that would provide the same look.

 

Actually, there are a few other plastic surgery cases on record that should have been turned down – but, sadly, were not.

 

One involved a professional gambler from Canada who took a $100,000 wager that he could not have 38C breast implants inserted into his chest and keep them for a year.

 

He took the bet, had the breast enhancement surgery, made it through the year, collected on the bet and then made even more by writing a book about it all. (Read more about the $100K breast augmentation wager.)

 

 The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAEPS) yearly asks its surgeon members to report what patients want in the way of celebrity features. (Hopefully, most are turned down, but nobody counts the granted requests.)

 

 Some of the most popular requests worldwide are for:

• Angelina Jolie’s lips.
• Arnold Schwarzenegger’s chest
• Pamela Anderson’s breasts
• Brad Pitt’s eyes
• Jennifer Lopez’s buttock augmentation

 

It took ten years, but a Cypriot “performance” artist became obsessed with a having an ear – grown in a lab from his own body’s cells, no less – implanted on his forearm.

 

We assume it took a decade to get the operation because most plastic surgeons turned him down flat while quickly showing him the door.

 

So, yes, that’s purporedly a third ear on his left arm, implanted in the then 61-year-old’s arm in 2006.

 

We are not making this up, but the artist says once the ear matures, he wants to implant a microphone inside the transplanted ear. (Nonetheless, experts say it is not possible to clone a human ear!)

 

That gives the expression “lend me your ears” a whole, new meaning!
