This weekend, a terrible study out of China back in 2018 gained some visibility on X when it was tweeted out by REDUXX and a few other accounts. There is no way to gild the lily on this one: this 'study' is absolutely horrific. The study related to research into developing 'neophalluses' for people wanting to change their sex and, we do have to warn you here, we are going to share some of the details. They could make you physically ill. We will refrain from sharing any photos; the descriptions alone are revolting enough. (We saw the photos; we...

Some people just try and cheat death or old age by going under the knife to make them look younger, most of the time, the results are not that great, these plastic surgery gone wrong examples will prove this statement i promise you. But please don’t confuse our humor with people who actually do plastic surgery because they need to. Not all surgeries are cosmetic, some actually fix problems caused by accidents so sometimes it’s important. But let’s not get off track, these hilarious plastic surgery fails are reason enough to not try and beat old age, rather embrace it....

Dear Life in Plastic, You say that no man wants a woman who has let herself go, but there is a very big difference between aging naturally and taking care of yourself, and opting for plastic surgery. In fact, the vast majority of men infinitely prefer the natural look. Honestly, I’m trying to think of anyone I know who prefers a trout pout, unnaturally filled cheekbones and a brow that is sky-high, and I can’t think of one decent man who would choose that. I’m not anti-plastic surgery, but I am asking you to question your own sense of worth....

The Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) filed a complaint against LAPD Chief Michel Moore for giving photos, names and other personal information on the City's police officers to an "abolish the police" group called the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, which posted this data on their web site along with the boast that "we have now #published over 9000 names and head-shots of numerous regular and undercover LAPD officers. Let the games begin!!" Robert Rico, general counsel for the LAPPL said "this site puts a bounty on our officers--including those working undercover. The egregious stupidity of Chief Moore defies belief....

However, what stood out more than Madonna’s words to viewers was her face, sparking a sea of reactions on Twitter. Some couldn’t even recognize her as she stood in front of the audience with noticeably bigger lips, braids, a tight black suit and fishnet gloves

Maria Shriver looked unrecognizable while out and about over the weekend. The former first lady of California was photographed in Santa Monica, Calif., sporting a new look while seemingly going makeup-free. In photos obtained by Page Six exclusively, the 66-year-old headed to her car after stopping by the construction site where she is building a new home. While Shriver seemed to be in great spirits, her face looked different than it has in recent years. The niece of the late President John F. Kennedy kept things casual in black leggings, a purple T-shirt and a pair of gray sneakers. Shriver...

Suddenly, the left is concerned about Tucker's manners. House speaker Nancy Pelosi apparently has had some plastic surgery. It didn't go well. Tucker Carlson was on the scene to state what everyone was thinking: Some creature at the Huffington Post put out this outraged headline: Tucker Carlson Sinks To New Low With Attack On Nancy Pelosi's Appearance The Twitter mob sprang into action, too. MEAWW has a summary of the tweets: One user slammed, "In search of a new low on a nightly basis, Tucker Carlson says that Nancy Pelosi looks like Michael Jackson." One person replied, "I would love...

Sarah Silverman called out Hollywood’s tendency to cast non-Jewish actors to play Jewish characters, referring to the practice as “Jewface.” The comedian, 50, pointed to Kathryn Hahn as the most recent example after the Catholic-raised actress, 48, was tapped to portray the late Joan Rivers, who was Jewish, in an upcoming limited series. “There’s this long tradition of non-Jews playing Jews, and not just playing people who happen to be Jewish but people whose Jewishness is their whole being,” Silverman said in Thursday’s episode of her eponymous podcast, adding, “One could argue, for instance, that a Gentile [a non-Jew] playing...

Transgender veterans will be offered gender confirmation surgery paid for by the US Department of Veterans' Affairs, its secretary announced Saturday. Denis McDonough told an event in Orlando to celebrate Pride Month, and that the move was 'the right thing to do'. He said the new policy was part of an effort to overcome a 'dark history' of discrimination against LGBTQ service members. Gender confirmation surgery used to be known as gender reassignment surgery, and involves changing a trans person's body to align with the gender they identify as. The cost was of the program unclear, but Terrence Hayes, VA...

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf and cabinet members of his health and human services agencies collectively condemned the Trump Administration’s revoking of protections for equal access to healthcare because of their sexual orientation or gender identity in a Sunday press release. The Obama-era Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) previously secured the right. “This rule flies in the face of every policy and protection my administration has put in place,” Wolf said. Wolf said the action will put the LGBTQ community at greater risk and is “especially egregious” since it came during a pandemic and on the anniversary of the...

Sigh. A man known as the “Human Ken Doll” has now decided he has always been a Barbie deep, deep down, because of course he has. On the one hand, this man is, like so many others in this absolutely crazy era of anti-science, defying his very biology by trying to live his life as a member of the opposite sex which, no matter how much plastic surgery he gets or makeup he wears, he will never be. On the other hand…is there any better example of how laughable the idea that you can change your gender with plastic surgery?...

Exporting companies are using Chinese ships, planes, and trucks to transport dead Americans across the world for research purposes, according to a Thursday report from Reuters. A Hong Kong flagged cargo ship departed South Carolina in July carrying 6,000 pounds of human remains valued at $67,204. The container’s temperature was set to 5 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent the parts from spoiling. Relatives of the dead, meanwhile, did not realize their loved ones’ remains were being dismembered and sent to Europe and elsewhere, the report notes. Body brokers like Oregon-based MedCure rely on lax regulations to export heads, shoulders, knees and...

Ivanka Trump, you're fired. According to plastic surgeon Dr. Franklin Rose, first lady Melania Trump has eclipsed first daughter and former fashion designer Ivanka - as a plastic surgery muse, anyway. "I've have had many women visit my office wanting the 'Ivanka look,'" Rose said in a press release on Monday. "So it's not really surprising to see women now requesting to look more like Melania, who is simply gorgeous." One such request came from Cypress mom and cancer survivor Claudia Sierra. "I want to feel like the first lady that I know I am inside," Sierra explained in the...

My doctor told me there was a procedure that’s fairly new, but it’s changing the game in cosmetic surgery. It’s called “fractora,” an outpatient procedure done in the office that takes under an hour and that regenerates your natural collagen and tightens that old skin. I went home and told my husband I wanted to do this. Full disclosure: My husband hates the idea of any kind of surgery or injecting anything into my face. But I’ve convinced him that all of this is safe and I have a very well-respected doctor who has an office in Manhattan. I promise...

These days, it’s not enough to just bring Spot to the groomer. If you really want your dog to dazzle — and you have a chunk of cash to spend — you can take him in for a nip-tuck. Edgard Brito, a São Paulo vet and plastic surgeon, told DuJour that he wants his procedures to make pets more lovable to their owners. “I often say that a clean dog with well-kept teeth will always be in better contact with its owners, otherwise the dog ends up being [put to sleep],” he said.

Barbie's Dreamhouse has become a nightmare. While appearing on the British TV talk show "This Morning," "Human Ken Doll" Rodrigo Alves revealed that simply taking in air has become problematic thanks to his numerous plastic surgeries. "July of last year I had my nose reconstructed with a piece of cartilage from my ribs," said Alves, who has had eight nose jobs alone. "That helped, but I still can't breathe 100%." With much of his income reportedly thanks to properties he inherited from his grandparents, Alves has spent nearly half a million dollars on everything from chest silicone implants to a...
