This week on Dr. 90210:

Episode 13 of Dr. 90210 reveals that someone wants a baby, and someone is having a baby!

The doctors spend time nurturing their patients, and now one is going to be able to dote on a brand new baby in about nine months. Over the course of season 5, we have been able to experience many life-changing events that the Beverly Hills plastic surgeons go through.

During this Dr. 90210 installment, one woman is looking to regain a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance, while on the other side of the spectrum, two other women are featured; yet these ladies want to look older and more mature (proving that every patient has unique cosmetic desires and surgical goals).

To embark on the surgical journey alongside three patients, as well as find out who is going to be welcoming a baby into their lives, read my Dr. 90210 summary in its entirety on iEnhance.com!

This week on Dr. 90210:

Women take center stage during the 11th episode of Dr. 90210.

The featured patients who are undergoing plastic surgery are not enhancing their appearances simply for the rest of the world to see, but to correct their personal imperfections for the right reasons — themselves. Although undergoing different types of surgeries, both are recipients of procedures specific to women.

Additionally, we get to once again peek into the lives of our successful, satisfied, and sometimes stressed, plastic surgeons. Seeing the personal lives of Dr. Robert Rey, Dr. Linda Li, and Dr. Gary Alter help us to relate to them as “normal” people — opposed to celebrities that also happen to perform aesthetic improvements each week while television viewers watch!

While we can get carried away watching Reality TV shows, it is important to realize that those featured on this program are real, facing real problems and real surgeries.

A more detailed description of all of the events that occurred this week of Dr. 90210 can be found on my in-depth summary, featured on iEnhance.com!

 This week on Dr. 90210:

It seems that the last few episodes of Dr. 90210 have been filled with touching, personal stories. We see that plastic surgery is not just for cosmetic purposes, but is often used to reconstruct a birth defect or injury. Landon is one such patient, looking to gain normalcy through surgery. A young man that allows viewers to follow him through his heart-wrenching experience, he may serve to inspire us all.

Similarly, another patient goes in for reconstructive surgery to replace her breast implants. By treating her, Dr. Motykie learns that the two of them share a common hobby.

Both of these patients have had numerous, previous surgeries and are simply seeking natural-looking results to help them restore their confidence!

Jai Rodriguez, from Bravo’s “Queer Eye,” and Dr. Will Kirby also make appearances on episode 10.

This Dr. 90210 provides touching, shocking, and comical moments — all within the allotted one hour time period. To read my latest weekly recap of Dr. 90210, check out my in-depth summary on iEnhance.com!

Most women absolutely love receiving gifts. At least, I do. So if I were recovering from breast augmentation at home vs. an aftercare facility, one of the last things I’d want to do is to actually go out and buy all of the necessities to ensure a speedy and proper healing period. Nope! I’d prepare beforehand and explore all of the cute gifts that JustGotEm.com offers. Milan Skrecek talks about the start of his successful venture:         

Q: Tell me again about the beginnings of JustGotEm.com. You mentioned that the idea sprang from a girlfriend of yours who underwent breast augmentation…

A: Back in 2001, I was dating a girl who had decided that she wanted to have breast augmentation surgery. She was extremely excited and nervous that she was getting the surgery done, and I wanted to show her that I was going to be there for her during her recovery.

I started to research recovery gifts, thinking that there would be hundreds to choose from but quickly found out that there weren’t any that were a “congratulatory” gift, one that showed that I cared. I was frustrated that I couldn’t find a decent gift box that helped women recover from augmentation surgery. Being an extremely creative individual, I compiled a selection of “smaller” gifts to make up a large congratulatory gift box.  It was more of a gift basket back then, full of most of the items you can get in the current versions of Justgotem’s gift boxes.  

A few days before her surgery, I presented the gift box to her and she loved it! It had a list of tips for both pre- and post-surgery and items that would help her through her three-week recovery process. She was so impressed that I created the gift box, telling all of her friends and stating that I should sell this “because it actually works.” So I did and started offering the breast augmentation recovery gift boxes online in 2002, and business has been amazing ever since. 

Q: When did you realize that your idea would be a success?

A: There were a couple of different moments I realized that the recovery gift boxes would be a success. The first one was having my girlfriend use my items to recover faster; actually watching the recovery gift box items in action. The second was about a month after launching the Web site. We didn’t have that much money to roll out a large scale marketing and advertising campaign but word got out that finally a well packaged, personal recovery gift box with quality, essential items was available. Sales went through the roof all by word of mouth only. The third was when I was receiving positive testimonials on how great the gift boxes were to use. It’s always nice to hear that you’ve helped someone through a tough time with a product you’ve created. 

Q: With so many different gift boxes, greeting cards, and clothing items to choose from, how does a person know what to select for his or her loved one?                          

A: You first have to determine how much recovery aid you or your loved one will require. Depending on your recovery needs, Justgotem.com has different levels of recovery gift boxes that include items that target different aspects of your recovery process. You also have to determine your budget. Justgotem.com has seven different gift boxes all valued priced depending on your budgeted recovery needs.

After choosing the recovery box you’ll need or want to give, you can add a clever greeting card (six to choose from), or select a cute top from the American Apparel clothing we offer in our clothing section. All of your items are beautifully wrapped and shipped to your door in attractive, but discreet, packaging.

If anyone is unsure about which recovery gift box is the right choice for them, you can always contact us and we can help you determine the right choice depending on your needs.

Q: Tell me about the creative minds behind your greeting cards. They are very creative and witty!

A: Our team gets together once a month to explore new gift box ideas, additional augmentation recovery information to add to the Web site, and any other beneficial items to add to make our Web site a resource for anyone needing recovery information. In one of our meetings, I brought up the idea of making funny greeting cards and they were very well received. We came up with three that first day, which flew off the shelves once we posted them on the Web site. We’re now up to six different cards and will have an additional three by the holiday season.

Q: I think it’s great that a portion of your sales are being donated to Breast Cancer Research. How did that relationship develop?

A: My mother is a breast cancer survivor so it was just a natural fit for our Web site. Anything I can do to help find a cure for this disease, I will. 

Q: What are your ultimate goals/plans for JustGotEm.com?

A: My ultimate plans for Justgotem.com are too take it to another level. Besides developing addition gift boxes and adding new recovery information, Justgotem.com will be recognized as a brand that is trusted and sought after for every breast augmentation procedure. Making the brand instantly recognizable is my ultimate goal.

Q: What do you love most about your job?

A: This might sound a little cliché, but I love the fact that I help women recover faster and with more comfort with a product that I created. Justgotem.com has helped thousands of women through their recovery process and we are blessed to still be in business after five years.

This week on Dr. 90210:

For the first time this season, or that we can recall, the patients and procedures featured seem to take a backseat to some of the show’s Beverly Hills plastic surgeons. Although we do see the transformation of a young woman who gains extreme confidence with breast augmentation, the focal point of episode 6 is Dr. Robert Rey and the anticipation of his return to Brazil.

The event that we have been eagerly awaiting since last year finally unfolded on this week’s episode of Dr. 90210. After about 20 years of estrangement, Dr. Rey comes face-to-face with his ailing, so-called unaffectionate father.

With Hayley’s blessing and high hopes in the heart of Dr. Rey, a popular Los Angeles plastic surgeon, he returns to Sao Paulo to see his father for the first time in years. Curious to know what happened at their father-son reunion?

Last night on LA Ink, tattoo shop owner Kat Von D checks in with Dr. Garth Fisher to find out more about breast augmentation. Why???

Well, when trying on bikinis with Pixie, her close friend and shop manager, at the boutique of Ashley Paige, Kat comments about being smaller on top. Her recent weight loss not only seems to have reduced her waist size, but her chest size as well (according to swimsuit designer, Ashley Paige). Standing next to well-endowed Pixie in the mirror, her pierced buddy with breast implants, Kat Von D sorta shows feelings of insecurity. Acknowledging the potential risks and complications associated with getting breast implants, Ms. LA Ink still decides to learn about this popular procedure.

Dr. Fisher not only admits that Kat Von D is a great candidate for plastic surgery; he also sets out to prove the durability of silicone gel breast implants to Kat by throwing one against the wall during the initial consultation!

My favorite part of the episode is before Kat meets with Dr. Fisher, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. She fools her tattooed employees and pretends that she already underwent breast augmentation by giving her breasts a push here and a pull there (I believe she used a gel bra insert too!). With looks of shock and confusion, they aren’t too savvy on the idea of her getting plastic surgery to look better.

Turns out – Kat isn’t either! She says that considering how much she has already “modified” her body with tons of tattoos, starting with her face to her legs, breast enlargement just isn’t for her.

I was happy, to be honest. In the end, Kat Von D scored the cover of Chord Magazine, a Southern California music publication, proving the appeal of her unique look without a “boob job.” Pretty awesome.

This week on Dr. 90210:

From “muffin tops” to sweaty pits, a new set of enhancements are featured on this installment of Dr. 90210. The patients may poke fun at their imperfections, but these are serious conditions that require the help of specialized doctors.

Dr. Robert Rey helps a patient enlarge her breasts to a more desirable size with one of his most requested procedures, breast augmentation, Dr. Linda Li (who we see for the first time this season) removes excess fat and tightens the abdominal muscles of her client with tummy tuck surgery, and Dr. Will Kirby stops his friend’s excessive sweating with Botox ® injections.

Although this week may feature more common procedures than last, they are anything but mundane!

What about Dr. Rey and his father? Did Hayley stick to her promise?

“Women with breast implants are more likely to commit suicide!” 

Chances are you’ve heard some variation of this announcement by now, and depending on your source for news, you may have heard a cynical take on the story (morning shock jocks, anyone?) or a more cautious angle, with a medical opinion or two thrown in. The findings have been reported and analyzed in every conceivable media outlet as of recently – but is anyone really listening to the underlying message? 

At Beauty Chat, we were forced to take a deep breath and consider this story regarding breast enlargement surgery (After all, this is what we do!). In pondering the various opinions out there, I came to a sobering conclusion: Suicide is a tragic result of escalating dissatisfaction in regards to one’s own life. Often, we think that people only seek out negative escapes to mask their pain, such as substance abuse or bad relationships. 

However, many people escape their problems through what is deemed as positive outlets: a new job, going back to school, or even a shopping spree. The bottom line is that none of these “escapes” will instantly wipe away someone’s deep-rooted issues. The same is true for cosmetic surgery.   

If you are considering breast augmentation with the use of saline or silicone gel breast implants, remember this: A good doctor will assess your medical profile (including any history of psychological treatment), and will ask you important questions regarding your expectations following surgery. When listening to your answers, if a plastic surgeon notices that there is any indication that your expectations are unreasonable (“My partner will love me more” – “I’ll get a promotion” – “I’ll have more friends”), he or she may advise you to wait until you are better prepared. 

What are your thoughts on this issue?
