Lip injections ruin model’s career

Aspiring model, Priscilla Caputo, became depressed and suicidal after excessive lip injections ruined her looks. Mail Online reports that the aspiring model, from California did not realize what she was doing to her looks until she was a parody of her former self.

“It’s like when some fat people look in the mirror and they don’t see a fat person. I’d look in the mirror and see somebody who needed a little more help,said Priscilla.

Priscilla has since stopped any lip procedures and is slowly regaining her original lip proportion.

This over-exaggerated look is what scares many patients away from augmenting their lips with products such as Restylane or Juvederm. This women would have needed A LOT of product to see these results. A reasonable amount of product can be used to give a patient a little more fullness or a more youthful appearance. Knowing when to stop is important. Talk to your medical provider if you need help determining when enough is enough.

Heidi Montag replaces plastic surgery obsession with extreme exercise

Reality star, Heidi Montag, made headlines after admitting that she had 10 procedures done in a marathon plastic surgery in 2009. Now she has traded her hankering for plastic surgery for an extreme exercise regiment. She tells US Weekly Magazine that she worked-out about 14 hours a day for the past 2 months in order to get ready for her pool party appearance. “I’ve been working out from, like, 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. for two months now. I’ve been working out really hard because I had this pool party and I was like, I have to be in shape”

Heidi says that she lost 27 lbs after hitting a top weight of 130 lbs after taking a year off from the gym to recover from her surgeries. “My breasts, because they’re so big, really needed some time,” she explained. “So I’m just starting to work out again after my surgery. Sometimes I get shooting pains, but I hear that’s normal.”

Do you think an exercise obsession is healthier than a plastic surgery obsession? Or just as bad?
