Did Kate Hudson get breast implants?

We all know that like most Hollywood celebrities Kate Hudson is a skinny woman. She is actually so thin that for the film Fool’s Gold the producers digitally enhanced her breasts to drive viewers to the cinema.

So if someone has such small breasts you would expect them to be overjoyed to have bigger breasts without breast augmentation. Not the case for Kate who is actually disappointed with the increase in breast size due to pregnancy, and no, she did not get breast implants. She says, “I hate it. I’m usually an A cup and I’m getting close to a D cup. Big breasts are fun for certain things but not others. I love fashion, and having big breasts is not ideal for certain looks. They are way more fun when you are not wearing your clothes. Then, they are a blast!”

Can I borrow fat from someone else?

Katie writes, “I would like advice on fat transfer volume to the butt area. Unfortunately, I am very skinny and do not have enough fat for the procedure. Is it possible to use my daughter, who is overweight, as a fat donor? I am not interested in butt implants. Is there any other alternative like a permanent gel filler?”

Body often rejects foreign things: As you might be aware, our bodies are not big fans of outside materials so your daughter cannot act as a donor. Even in the case of organ transplants after a perfect match is found, the body often rejects it. The best way to get fat is from your own body. Since you do not have excess fat, you are out of luck.

What you may want to do is to meet with a cosmetic surgeon and see if a lift does the trick for you because a filler is generally not a great option for the buttocks.

What procedures are popular by ethnicity?

It is no surprise that standards of beauty vary by cultures and ethnicity but with globalization it is hard to pin them down. One would think that women all over the world are trying to look like Hollywood celebrities, but research conducted by The New York Times proves that there is no one ideal of what a woman should look like. While they do not have a list of what women all over the world want to look like and the cosmetic surgery procedures they have to look that way, below is a summary of the differences by ethnic origin.

American: Breast augmentation

Iranian: Nose jobs

Italian: Knees

Russian: Body lift

Arab: Face lift

Oriental: Double eyelid surgery

Chinese: Inject fillers into earlobes to make them look more prominent. Leg extension surgery in rare cases

Latina: Buttock implants

Korean: Slimmer jawlines and rhinoplasty

Egyptian: Facelifts

Obviously procedures to remove wrinkles or having a flat tummy are universally popular.

What does Jack Nicholson think of plastic surgery?

Apparently most women go under the knife to be attractive to men, but except for a few, most men rarely care about it and some are even opposed to it (though a small group of men is definitely in favor of breast augmentation). I thought I will share what Jack Nicholson thinks, “I haven’t had surgery. I don’t want to be judgmental, but some of the things you see these days in Hollywood are a bit horrifying. I mean, I don’t know what’s going on here, but I don’t want to scare people…‘I mean, if someone can fool me with a new chest or lips, then I’m happy to be fooled. But I have to admit I have a prejudice against it. I’m not worried about wrinkles, in myself or in women. I find them interesting.”

Carolin Berger death from plastic surgery

Since Donda West died from plastic surgery, there have not been many deaths, but the death of German actress and Big Brother participant Carolin Berger (also called Sexy Cora) has once again made us all aware of the safety risks of cosmetic surgery. We all know that if you use the services of a board certified plastic surgeon and are otherwise in normal health, nothing will go wrong, but like anything else in life, you should never try to overdo things.

That is exactly what Carolin was trying to do: forcing a surgeon to perform the sixth breast enlargement procedure on her in the hope of going from F to G cup. She was just 23. Due to several complications, her heart stopped beating and she passed away. Her tragic death shows us that plastic surgery decisions should not be taken lightly and like any other medical procedures, there are serious risks that should be considered.
