Reality Round-Up:
TAWNY KITAEN is enjoying a comeback on reality television. Unfortunately, it's for an awful reason after several breast implant operations went terribly wrong. The model catapulted to fame by shaking her stuff in a WHITESNAKE video and reveals on "Botched" that she splurged on plastic surgery to feel more secure. After a few shots at getting the perfect pair, she says the fifth and sixth operations were a disaster, the implants slipped out and wound up at the bottom of her ribcage!
Tawny is hoping the good doctors can fix her infamous rack, she's ready to go natural and the episode airs tonight on E!(Lee)Aliens and anal probes:
UFO fanatics are converging on Wyoming.
In a scene right out of a STEVEN SPIELBERG film, flying saucer enthusiasts are showing up at Wyoming's Devil's Tower monument. The volcanic rock formation was featured heavily in Spielberg's film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." People are headed there for the first annual "Devils Tower UFO Rendezvous" slated to begin September 14th. UFO experts are scheduled to speak at the 800-foot monument. There will also be live music, a parade, and a big barbecue. (Still)Your Body:
If you're shopping around for a plastic surgeon, Instagram is not the best place to look!A new study from Northwestern Medicine says many practices advertising plastic surgery on social media are not board-certified plastic surgeons. The New York Daily News says some of the top posts on Instagram came from dentists, spas and even a hair salon. The researchers analyzed 21 hashtags where one would find links to various procedures. That included the hashtags: #plasticsurgery, #facelift, #breastimplant, #boobjob, #liposuction and #brazilianbuttlift, The results found most posts came from foreign surgeons. Next in line--at 26-percent-- were dermatologists, gynecologists and general surgeons, who are not certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or its Canadian counterpart.
Now, here's the catch: a licensed medical doctor can legally perform cosmetic surgeries. Depending on the doctor, though, expertise could be different. Only 17.8 of the doctors advertising on social media were found to be board certified. The medical profession warns would-be patients to do their research before agreeing to a procedure. (Bartha) -
