Joan Rivers is infamous for ripping apart celebrities and their fashion faux pas. Joan Rivers is also infamous for having her face ripped apart by plastic surgeons.

Lil Kim used to be known  as the “Queen Bee” for her raunchy rap and over the top  lyrics, that may or may not have been written by her. Now the “Queen Bee” looks as though she’s suffered some type of allergic reaction in the facial area after being stung by a million of them.

This man used to be Kenny Rogers. Apparently he didn’t take his own advice.  He’s infamous for singing, “You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, Know when to walk away, know when to run”. Apparently he didn’t share the same sentiment when it came to plastic surgery.

I don’t understand why plastic surgeons are allowed to slice & dice on a person’s face multiple times. Sure, it’s the patient’s money to spend it on whatever procedure they choose, but when should a doctor stop and say, “Ma’am, you’ve had 20 face lifts. You’re running out of face”?

Some of the top plastic surgeons in the world are single-handedly butchering the faces and bodies of celebrities and non-celebrities.  Recently I ventured out to a well-known strip club in the DC area, and was able to bare witness to several horrible breast implant jobs. I’m not sure what the going prices of implants are today, but apparently looking like you’ve had shot puts shoved into your boobs is probably on the lower end of the price scale.

Not all plastic surgery is bad. There are doctors that routinely perform procedures for people that have been involved in accidents or born with distinct facial malformations.  For the record, being born with a wide nose, is not a distinct facial malformation. There are also people out there that has had more ‘realistic’ procedures done for whatever the reason, and chose not to go overboard. But those aren’t the ones I’m referring to.

Just take a look at a few before & afters below:

Jocelyn Wildenstein- The Lion Queen

Janice-Dickinson- Not America's Next Top Model

Carrot Top- Plastic Surgery + Roids

In the words of Susan Powter, someone needs to “Stop The Insanity” and regulate some of these plastic surgeons and their practices of botching faces and bodies.  The number of deaths involving plastic surgery has risen over the past couple of years. Just recently, in Miami, a woman saved up the $3600 she needed for a liposuction procedure at the Aylne Center for Cosmetic Surgery. In the middle of the surgery she stopped breathing.  She was eventually taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.  According to the Miami Herald, this wasn’t the first time someone died cosmetic medical surgery in South Florida

Just last month (June 2011), Rony Wendrow, 61, died while having her neck and eyelids tightened at Strax Rejuvenation and Aesthetics Institute in Lauderhill.

In December 2010, Lidvian Zelaya, 35, died after problems arose during what was to be a simple procedure transferring fat from her waist to her buttocks.

In September 2009, Rohie Kah-Orukotan, 37 and a mother of three, underwent several seizures during a liposuction operation at Weston MedSpa before being declared brain dead.

In 2002, Olga Myers, a 42-year-old real estate agent, died while undergoing a face-lift at the Cosmetic Surgery Center in Hollywood. State regulators found that no licensed anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist was present during the surgery.
