Too much, too young – mother gives 15 year old Botox!

I’m a big fan of Botox for many reasons – from its potential pain-relieving benefits to its wrinkle busting properties – but I almost choked on my latte when I saw this story the other morning: a mother has been injecting her daughter – who was 15 years old at the time – with Botox!
15 [...]


The Hills – what’s the cosmetic reality?

The first time I saw The Hills, I was totally confused! The strange mixture between what seemed to be a reality TV show and a teen drama had me quite bamboozled, but I’d never seen Laguna Beach and my friends told me it would have made a lot more sense if I had. Laguna Beach [...]


Lady GaGa always looks the part

The first video I saw of Lady Gaga’s – Just Dance – wasn’t really my thing. But the more outrageous her outfits and shows become, the more I’m starting to warm to her. This is one musician that enjoys performing, that’s clear for anyone to see. And to be honest, it’s quite refreshing to see [...]


Moobs under attack

We’ve been seeing a rise in the number of men considering – and going through with – cosmetic surgery for a good long while now, so a survey from BAAPS showing that last year saw the figures swell by a fifth didn’t hold many surprises for me.
Nose jobs topped the charts for guys and [...]


Heidi Montag’s surgeon speaks out

Well, I had a feeling the news reports about Heidi Montag might have been a little over the top or extremist – and now it looks like I was on the right track. The star of that kind of addictive but slightly strange reality TV show The Hills has been giving all kinds of dramatic [...]


Cosmetic surgery: defying aging or helping nature?

When I think about cosmetic surgery I tend to think of it in two different ways, even though there are crossovers. Basically I think about cosmetic surgery as either a choice people make to help them defy the years or as a way to give nature a helping hand. This might sound like two different [...]


New year and plans for a new you

Well, who would have known that the start to 2010 would be quite this chilly? The snow has been incredible across the UK. Beautiful, yes, especially over the holidays – but it’s a bit more problematic when it comes to getting to work in the morning! Luckily I’ve not had too many problems with travel, [...]


Christmas cheer is here

The clinics and offices are buzzing with festive cheer at the moment and I’m wondering if we’re going to be getting a white Christmas this year. I hope so! There’s nothing like feelings as though you’ve stepped out of a Christmas card.
While this time of year is one for celebrating, I know it’s one where [...]


Do you keep your cosmetic surgery to yourself?

Recently we did a little research at the Harley Medical Group and we found out that in the UK lots of people like to keep quiet about the fact that they’ve had cosmetic surgery. I was actually quite surprised by how many people like to keep mum about it, but then I suppose I obviously [...]


Looking forward to pain-free Christmas parties?

I look away for two minutes, or one nice quiet weekend, and all of a sudden we’re in December. How did it sneak up on me this year? I like to think I’m normally quite organised when it comes to the festive season – especially seeing as I love Christmas shopping so much! – but [...]
