Plastic Surgeon Concerned With Makeover TV Shows’ Impact On Ordinary People

May 8, 2004 By admin Leave a Comment

The popularity of several television shows dealing with plastic surgery has many ordinary people thinking they can be transformed into beautiful people. But a Missouri plastic surgeon is warning about ordinary folks expecting too much. Television shows like “Extreme Makeover,” “The Swan,” and “I Want A New Face” feature ugly ducklings being turned into beautiful swans. In real life, however, few people go through such radical transformations. DoctorWilliam Huffaker, a plastic surgeon in St. Louis, says anything more than a nose job or a facelift can be cause for concern. Doctor Huffaker says people who want complete makeovers – like those on the TV shows – might have psychological problems. He says a plastic surgeon must evaluate people to determine whether they’re realistic in their expectations.
