Courtney Stodden Before And After Breast Implants Surgery

Before we delve into the cosmetic side of Ms. Stodden, lets first find out who exactly she is and why she has become a topic of media attention.

Born August 29, 1994, Courtney Stodden is a aspiring singer who is yet to achieve any real success in the music industry, however, she has garnered a wealth of attention as the 16 year-old bride of 50+ year old actor, Doug Hutchison.

Stodden and Hutchison tied the knot on May 20, 2011 with consent from the brides mother, since then the pair has been spotted all over tabloid magazines and internet gossip hubs alike. Undoubtedly seeking "fame by scenario".

Courtney Stodden Before And After Breast Implants Surgery?

Since the day Courtney Stodden took hold of the media spotlight, there has been speculation regarding her appearance. Many have suggested that Stodden has succumb to a disturbing trend known as teenage plastic surgery. A topic that we recently documented here on this site.

Breast augmentation surgery has been a trending topic surrounding Courtney Stodden, however, additional facial procedures are also a topic of debate.

As you can see from the before and after picture listed above, the bleached-blonde teen appears to have either went through a massive growth-spurt or she invested in a pair of breast implants.

And considering her overall petite body size and the appearance of her breasts, which contain tell-tale signs of breast implants (upper pole fullness and roundness), we're leaning towards breast enhancement surgery.

Courtney has dismissed the boob job rumors on more than one occasion... as we glance at these presumed post-implant photos listed above. The subject is seen donning a spaghetti strap shirt that reads "Yes, They're Real".

And while we totally believe that her shirt is made from 100% "real" cotton, we have a hard time labeling her assets as natural. Maybe its just us?

After viewing the before and after comparison, do you think Courtney Stodden has undergone plastic surgery for breast implants or is she really all natural? Either way, that guy she married is like 35 years older than her! Wowzer! Must be true love...

Teenage Plastic Surgery: Startling Trend, Any Solution?

If you've ever read the statistics on the increase of teens securing plastic surgery, you'd be shocked. In just 14 short years, the number of teenage plastic surgeries increased by approximately 550 percent!

That's shocking when you consider many of these surgeries were not for functional reasons, such as a "nose job" to improve the airway, but were for cosmetic reasons alone.

Teenage Plastic Surgery Increase: Reasons Why

Why do they have plastic surgery? The answer is, because they can. Often doting parents want their child to have the best of everything without considering the safety and emotional consequences of the decision. Plastic surgery has become the 'Nikes' of the 21st century. If baby girl wants it, she can have it!

Cosmetic Surgery: A Solution For Bullying?

Bullying is one reason teens want plastic surgery, as an effort to stop it. Some parents go along with the child's request, only to find out after the surgery that the bullying continued but the topic was simply different.

Rather than succumb to the child's desire, teaching coping mechanisms and methods of stopping the bullying would have prepared their child for this type of treatment later in life. However, we are a nation of quick fixes, ready to put on a band-aid rather than solve the real cause.

Diet And Exercise Alternatives

Parents also allow their children to undergo liposuction to remove excess fat from the body, rather than teaching them the importance of a healthy diet and exercise. Of course, liposuction works rapidly, but you don't solve the original problem, lack of exercise and excess calories. Even those who have fat unevenly distributed can benefit from both a good diet and exercise.

And with so many other safe natural alternatives to cosmetic surgery, its perplexing why anyone would choose to undergo the knife of a plastic surgeon.

Gambling With Serious Risks And Dangers

Danger! Warning, Will Robinson! It's a shame that only Will Robinson, from the old TV series 'Lost in Space' has a robot to issue warnings or they'd be far fewer problems from teens undergoing plastic surgery. Parents often don't stop to think about the potential risks and dangers until after they occur.

Deaths occur every year in teens from pulmonary embolisms, reactions to the anesthetic and infection. While they're more resilient to problems due to their youth, they're not immune.

I Love Me Just The Way I Am

Most of all, parents that allow their child to undergo plastic surgery are teaching them that appearance is the most important factor in life. It also tells the child they are far less than perfect--something you're supposed to find out only when you're older! It denies the child the lesson of self-acceptance so necessary in later life.

When you start comparing yourself to others, you'll always fall short. Once people accept themselves for whom they are, they can move on to the important things in life such as loving others and savoring every minute of life, not to mention accomplishing great things to improve society.

Lifting The Superficial Veil

Focusing on the superficial aspects of life, such as appearance, negates the importance of the person inside and makes beauty the most important factor.

Perhaps the saddest part of this scenario occurs when the person is in the last decades of life, finds how much they missed and realizes that no matter how many surgeries you have, outer beauty fades but the inner essence of beauty remains forever young and attractive.

Plastic Surgery Lawsuits: Surgeon Malpractice And Negligence

Not all plastic surgeries are successful. In some cases, the outcome may be less than desired but not necessarily disfiguring. While these procedures are also extremely disappointing, hoping to be better looking than the final results doesn't constitute a reason to sue.

However, in cases where the surgeon leaves you disfigured, in chronic pain or permanently disabled because of negligence, you shouldn't have to pay him to repair his flawed work. In fact, he should pay you. That's where plastic surgery lawsuits enter the picture.

Plastic Surgery Lawsuit Grounds

Simply being disappointed isn't a justifiable reason to sue. You were disappointed with your looks prior to the surgery or you wouldn't have opted to have it. However, if the surgeon didn't follow medical protocol for the surgery, this is grounds for a plastic surgery lawsuit and you need to contact a competently qualified malpractice attorney.

Proving The Surgeons Negligence

You must be able to prove your surgeon failed to follow reasonable medical practices. If he omitted some procedures or took unnecessary risks during the operation that a good plastic surgeon never would take, you have grounds for a lawsuit.

Patient History: Failing to take into consideration previous medical history for instance can cause you to become chronically disabled. That would be an omission on the surgeon's part.

Unauthorized Procedures: Trying an untested procedure that leaves you disfigured is another reason for plastic surgery lawsuits.

Botched Operations: Furthermore, if a doctor clearly botched the surgery and the results were unacceptable by any measure, it's time to find a good plastic surgery malpractice lawyer.

In order for you to win the lawsuit, you must show that you are worse off than you would be had you not undergone the surgery. Maybe you have sky-high medical bills to correct the error. Perhaps you missed work due to the disabling nature of the plastic surgeon's mistake. Both your lost wages and the medical bills are due to the surgeon's error and you should receive compensation.

Pain And Suffering Considerations

How much money would you accept if the person offered it with the stipulation that in order to receive the money, you'd suffer a disability, disfigurement or suffer in constant pain? If you're like most people, there wouldn't be enough money in the world to accept these conditions.

Suppose you didn't have physical pain but your employer harassed you for the missed work time, or you quit going out in public for fear you'd receive 'those looks' or face hearing others gasp at the blunders of the plastic surgeon.

That's where pain and suffering awards play a role. Both emotional pain and physical pain are part of plastic surgery lawsuits.

Even though you'll probably never receive enough money to commensurate your pain and suffering, because there's no way to do that, you'll receive compensation in an amount based on your situation.

Statute of Limitations (Act Fast)

If you think that you're the victim of a botched plastic surgery procedure, contact a medical malpractice attorney that specializes in plastic surgery lawsuits. It's important to do this before your statute of limitations ends.

You may find yourself faced with towering medical bills caused by the procedure and your insurance company will not pay for them. Plastic surgery is normally considered an elective surgery and any side-effect or condition caused by an elective surgery will not be paid by most insurance companies.

That is why seeking quick compensation is absolutely essential to your personal well-being. Both physically and financially speaking. So don't waste time.

Plastic Surgery Horror Stories: Cosmetic Nightmares

You don't have to come out looking like Jocelyn Wildenstein, the infamous surgery addicted "cat woman" to have a bad reaction to plastic surgery. Anyone over the age of 50 may remember comedian Totie Fields who had her leg amputated due to complications from plastic surgery.

Plastic surgery, even Botox can have serious side effects, disappointing results and in the end, can even turn you into a hideously artificial-looking creation. While other procedures can put your life in jeopardy.

When you think of plastic surgery, you think of movie stars. After all, physical appearance is part of their livelihood. However, not every star succumbs to the knife. Look at world-renowned singer and actress Barbara Streisand. Her nose is less than petite and she has a non-conventional look. However, because of her presence, it became an exotic look and quite attractive.

Whether or not Raquel Welch has had plastic surgery is anyone's guess, but she insists she hasn't. Instead, she uses diet, supplements and exercise to keep herself younger looking. Even if she's fudging the truth a bit, it's good advice and can prevent you from becoming a plastic surgery horror story victim.

Anchorwoman Mary Nissenson Surgery Horror Story

The effects of plastic surgery may not show or be visible with others. Mary Nissenson was a successful anchorwoman and newly wed. However, she was 42, wanted to start a family, and didn't want anyone to ask her if the baby was her grandchild.

She opted for simple plastic surgery, a brow lift. Even though she hired a reputable surgeon for this relatively simple procedure, asked all the right questions and did all her homework to make sure she wasn't taking any unnecessary risks, something went horribly wrong.

After she awoke from the surgery, she found herself in incredible pain. She had incredible sensitivity to light and sound. In her words, "A piece of candy being unwrapped would set off a near seizure." After two weeks, she was supposed to be off painkillers but couldn't survive without them. She literally couldn't leave her darkened room due to the pain.

When she asked the doctor for more painkillers, he scolded her. Finally, after two months, doctors isolated the reason. The surgery set off a reaction in her system called reflex sympathetic dystrophy, RSD. It's rare so some plastic surgeons don't mention the possibility or even recognize it.

The damage was permanent. She began a regimen of morphine, 12 pills a day and approximately 30 other pills throughout the day. If her pain were excruciatingly bad, she'd take intramuscular injections. Her insurance company didn't pay for any of it since it was the result of an elective surgery. Mary is now on permanent disability. Her marriage ended, her career ended and she lost her home and assets.

Donda West Plastic Surgery Nightmare

A more recent plastic surgery horror story is the sorrowful death of Kanye West’s mother, Donda West, following a tummy tuck and breast reduction operation. An operation that one surgeon refused to preform on the 58-year-old West, due to possible heart complications.

On November 10th, 2007, the former professor of English at Clark Atlanta University, and the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University, Donda West, died. A life that ended much too soon, a result of complications from cosmetic surgery.

Additional Surgery Complications
Other cases of medical malpractice by plastic surgeons include disfiguring facelifts, botched breast augmentation and incredible scarring. One woman's plastic surgery horror story involved breast implants put too close to each other. Because of this, it created the image of a single breast with two nipples.

The problem with these plastic surgery horror stories is that doctors actually charge to repair the damage THEY caused. In many cases, it takes multiple surgeries to correct the error of one misguided scalpel.

Choose A Safe Alternative
So before you schedule your first or next plastic surgery procedure, consider the negative life-altering possibilities that come with cosmetic surgery. Instead, seek out safe alternatives to undergoing the knife. Regardless of the situation, there is always an alternative option to consider.

Julia Volkova Plastic Surgery: Before After Botox And Lip Injections

Who in the world is Julia Volkova, you ask? You might remember her as the cute Russian singing sensation and one-half of the pop duo known as, t.A.T.u. A female pop duo that garnered worldwide attention after the release of their ultra-catchy single entitled 'All The Things She Said'.

If you haven't been keeping up with Julia Volkova lately... Things have changed a little bit in regards to her appearance. Not plastic surgery!?! Yep, we think so.

It appears that Ms. Volkova has traded in her youthful good looks for a generic wax-like "makeover" that may include procedures such as botox and lip injections. However, many contend that the pint-size pixie went as far as getting a full-blown facelift. See this collection of before and after pictures and decide for yourself.

If Julia continues to augment her appearance in this manner, she'll be next in line for our annual installment of the 'worst plastic surgery'. And nobody wants to end up on that list. Unless of course you have a twisted sence of self-beauty. Oh wait...

Reasons Not To Get Plastic Surgery: Top 5 Things To Consider

When people consider getting plastic surgery, they can often think of a number of reasons to proceed with the operation, particularly if they really want to do it. It's like asking a teenager for reasons you should extend they're curfew. However, there are a number of reasons to avoid getting plastic surgery. Before you opt for any procedures, you should read the top 5 reasons to avoid plastic surgery.

1. Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Is Expensive And Unnecessary: That tummy tuck you thought might be the answer, may not be necessary if you participate in an active exercise program. Dancercise, yoga, ballroom dancing, or any legitimate exercise routine can tighten the skin while making your body healthier. The good news is that you don't have to pay for surgery and you also receive other health benefits too! Checkout our articles on surgery alternatives:

• Natural Facelift Alternatives

• Nonsurgical Breast Enhancement

2. Plastic Surgery Can Be Dangerous: The key word is surgery. No matter how simple or mundane the surgery is, you're still assaulting your body. Surgery requires anesthetic, cutting and healing. Your body is delicate and any of the three can go awry. Sometimes there's nerve damage from the surgery that causes pain or loss of muscle use. Sometimes your body doesn't react well to the anesthetic. Sometimes the wounds don't heal properly and you end up with an infection. See our breakdown of the risks and dangers associated with cosmetic surgery:

• Nose Job Risks
  
• Lip Injection Dangers
  
• Facelift Complications
  
• Breast Augmentation
  
• Botox Side Effects
  

3. You Lose Your Individuality And Expression: Looking at some people after plastic surgery reminds me of visiting a wax museum. No, they don't look like themselves. These wax figures have no familiar facial expressions that set them apart from one another. Botox and facial surgeries can result in a similar appearance.

4. You Want Your Spouse To Love You Again: Hold the phones! If you're married to a creep that only loves you if you look good, jump ship immediately. Chances are there are deeper problems within your relationship than your appearance. Instead of getting plastic surgery, get marriage counseling.

5. You Want A New Look: If this is your mindset for getting plastic surgery, you're never going to be satisfied with your looks because the problem starts in your brain, not your physical appearance. The late great Michael Jackson and the woman so addicted to surgery, she now has her 10 minutes of fame as the "cat woman", also known as the Bride of Wildenstein, Jocelyn Wildenstein, are perfect examples of people addicted to plastic surgery and still dissatisfied after each procedure.

While your face and your body introduces you, your personality is what causes people to bond with you while forming friendships, and relationships. Work on your personal character and feeling good about yourself. And focus less on attaining artificial beauty.

Story Of A True Hero And Role Model
U.S. Army soldier, J. R. Martinez, who many know from the television soap opera "All My Children" or "Dancing with the Stars" lay trapped under a burning vehicle in Iraq after his convoy hit a roadside bomb.

He suffered disfiguring burns over 40 percent of his body. He had 30 surgeries. In this case, plastic surgery was necessary but due to the nature and extent of his burns, he still bears the scars of disfigurement.

Rather than hide, he faces life with exuberance. If you watch him for a short time, you forget the scars and focus on the vitality of the man. When you look at him, your slightly baggy eyelids become insignificant. Instead of seeking out plastic surgery as a solution, you should start examining why you want it in the first place.
