"Another reason doctors say younger women are going under the knife? The increasing use of cosmetic treatments like Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers, which many women turn to in their 20s. As Dr. Mike Nayak, a facial plastic surgeon in St. Louis, put it: 'When you start Botox at 25, by the time you reach 40, getting a facelift seems like not such a big leap.'”

"One curious visit to a dermatologist became a routine visit every six months wherein I’d usually just tell the doctor, 'Do whatever you think I need.' That often resulted in me getting neuromodulator injected into my forehead, around my eyes, and in my jaw muscles plus filler in my lips, cheeks, and jaw."

Allure · I Got Injectibles Throughout My 20s. At 30, I’m Done With Them.By Nicola Dall'Asen
The human body is a work in progress. A construction site where to build the temple of our image. A project. Something to design, produce, build, measure, fix, trade, upload, upgrade. Reset and start again. Our anatomy is never enough, it's not our destiny anymore.

SSK Plastic Surgery discloses it experienced a hack and extortion attempt in 2024:

databreaches.net/2025/03/08/ss

Plastic surgery groups tend to store a lot of patient data that is extremely sensitive.... and with pictures and videos.

In 2023, I wrote to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and urged them to issue a guidance or article to their members about NOT attaching patients' names as filenames to nude photos and to storing patient data more securely.

AFAIK, they did NOT follow up by warning members NOT to store nude photos with patient names. They issued an alert about phishing.

And so the problem continues.... the New York Plastic Surgical Group got hit in January 2024, and then Jaime Schawartz, MD got hit in March 2024 as did SSK Plastic Surgery. How many more plastic surgery groups will we read about?

And for those who don't already know: some of the leak sites are STILL online and exposing nude patient photos and/or files with PII and PHI. In some cases, the threat actors encourage patients to contact them directly to pay to have their data removed. One group was initially charging patients $2500. They now charge about $500 for removal.

Aaargh...

I wish @cisacyber and the @FBI would issue a warning to plastic surgery groups specific to this issue.

I like #JimmyFallon, but I don't often watch his talk show. In comedy, he's good, like on #SNL, but in the talk show business, he seems to be afraid to criticize #bigots like #convictedFelon #DonaldTrump & his cronies. He's not outspoken like #StephenColbert, #SethMeyers, or #JimmyKimmel.

I haven't seen #Fallon in a while, then I see him on an insurance commercial. He's had #plasticSurgery on his face that makes him look odd & unnatural. Why couldn't he embrace nature?

"The number of foreigners who visited Turkey for plastic surgery has ballooned from 300K in 2013 to more than 1.5M last year. The country has become so popular for hair transplants, which involves grafting hair from the back of the head to the top or the front, that the national carrier is sometimes referred to as Turkish Hairlines."
